How Hard Will It Be To Get A PS3 Slim In Japan At Launch_

By Alex Chen | January 01, 0001

Who knows! That didn’t stop me from calling five Japanese retailers to find out. Game retailers in Japan run the gamut of small, independent Mom ‘n’ Pop style shops to the larger, nationwide chains. Since the chains get larger product shipments, I called five shops in g2g1bet

Osaka and Tokyo. I called one in Kyoto, but no one answered. Sorry H25

Kyoto!(new Image()).src = 'https://capi.connatix.com/tr/si?token=995c4c7d-194f-4077-b0a0-7ad466eb737c&cid=872d12ce-453b-4870-845f-955919887e1b'; cnx.cmd.push(function() { cnx({ playerId: "995c4c7d-194f-4077-b0a0-7ad466eb737c" }).render("79703296e5134c75a2db6e1b64762017"); }); • Sofmap – Akihabara store (Tokyo) According to the staffer I spoke with there, the store is still taking pre-orders for the PS3 Slim. Those interested in pre-order must pay ¥2,000 (US$21.50) upfront for a reserve. The staffer did not know how h25 com สล็อต

many consoles it would be getting. – Namba store (Osaka) g2g1bet Likewise, still taking pre-orders. The staffer said he hoped they would be able H25 to fill all their pre-orders. While the staffer did not know how many consoles they will be getting, it did say, “We won’t be getting a ton of them.” • Bic Camera – Yurakucho store (Tokyo) Sony held its official PS3 launch at the Yurakucho branch. Bic Camera isn’t asking for money upfront for the reserve and is still taking pre-orders. As with the other shops, this h25 com สล็อต branch does not know how many units it will be getting. • Yodobashi Camera -Shinjuku store (Tokyo) As with all the other shops, this branch is still taking pre-orders. The staffer, however, recommended that I line-up before 9:30 if I don’t pre-order my PS3 Slim. This branch will have consoles for those who don’t pre-order, but it’s possible they could sell out quickly, the staffer said. – Umeda store (Osaka) Ditto for still taking pre-orders. The staffer didn’t know how many PS3 Slim consoles the shop would be receiving. In the most recently released Japanese hardware sales figures, Sony sold only 2,052 PlayStation 3s compared with 8,979 Xbox 360s and 26,972 Wiis. https://kotaku.com/dsi-honors-japanese-bestelling-hardware-tradition-5348069 The reason of course for the abnormally low sales figures is because new PS3 consoles were not sold, leaving some areas in sort supply or even with PS3 sell-outs. Expect a huge spike in sales when the PS3 Slim launches in Japan. https://kotaku.com/ps3-slimpocalypse-countdown-more-ps3-sell-outs-in-japa-5339595

The bonuses are nice and offer great value, although they could be a bit more frequent. I love being part of the VIP program, which gives me extra rewards and makes me feel appreciated as a loyal player.
