Who as to wait till march 07, my wife deals with Sony and is in a compition at work to win one, and she's way ahead of the rest, if by the end of oct 06 she's still in front, she wins the whole package cool.gif and won't have to wait, so far she's won a Sony PSP which will be with us next week, a 52 inch flatscreen t.v a 17inch lcd t.v and the best one yet a holiday to Wikki beach which was 5 years ago in a Hilton hotel all exspense payed for and a helicopter for the day to take us any where, what a woman wink1.gif so i guess it pretty much in the bag.
When the Xbox 360 came out over here they were that hard to get hold of those who did have them were selling them for about £6-£700 about $1200, these PS3 are going to cost us over here about £550, we could get well over a £1000 wink1.gif oh what a sense of power HA HA HAAAAA, next to rule the world then the unniverse laugh.gif

Who has to wait?

You will too. Considering the UK won't get any shipped till sometime in March, it doesn't matter HOW good your connections are.

Some of the 360 give aways that started BEFORE the system was launched, almost a year ago, didn't finish shipping their "prizes" until about 5 months ago.

It's coming direct from Sony themselves, if Sony does'nt have them who does? apple mac.

It's not the company she works for saying whoever does the best will be rewarded with a PS3 from sony, the competion is with Sony for Sony, for selling sony products.
Basicly Sony have said whoever sells the most of thier products will get one of these and they WILL receive it at the end of november 06.
The company she works for is a U.S owned company called Anixter http://www.anixter.co.uk/AXECOM/UK.n...ixter/Overview
who is the world's largest distributor of communication and IT security survallience products , they buy direct from Sony and sell thier products to, they do a hell of a lot for Sony, so when ever Sony say they will do somthing for them as a company or for an employee of the company, they always keep thier word.
Trust me my wifes worked for Anixter for years and delt with sony on a personall level , she even had thier executive marketing manager come in to give her product trianing.

Of course it's coming from Sony themselves. Sony UK. Unless she's got connections with Sony Japan. That's different.

And for your question...

"If Sony doesn't have them, who does?"

No one does. Not a single one has been made yet.

I have no doubt she'll get one if she wins, but it won't be this November. I bet ya money that statment was made well before they delayed the release.

Hee Hee, it always seems to me that me and you end up having these debates lol, i'm cool with that.
Any way, they were told that the PS3 will be shipped to arrive in november prior to the launch date to the general public. that is part of the prize that they get one before general release. at the end of the day it's only one out of the 100thousands to be made and it will be coming from Japan , she deals with Sony u.k. but any prizes that are won do get shipped direct from the manufacturing plant in japan. Therefore if the UK are not due to get any until march 2007 who ever wins this competition will be the first person to receive one in the UK and possibly even before anybody in the US. Which therefore it will make it even more valuable as I am sure that are people stupid enough to pay a ridiculous amount of money to get their hands on one.
cher ching.

god I hope she wins the bloody thing!!!

world domination will be mine eventually.........................
