On the ps2 thing we was all told at work that in actual fact sony hadnt made enough, they have contracts with lots of stores we were told that they couldnt send any ps2s out to one store and not send any to any other stores because if they did sony could be sued for not giving all stores the same chance, thus why sony will stock pile and then just before xmas send them all out.

Although i did find this strange when on friday we got over a hundred sent to our store only to find no-one still had them. And mybe this will answer the question of why there is never anything left of what you want The ps2s were sold out by the next afternoon! so its not because there aint enough stock its because you dont get there first!
you have heard the phrase get there early to avoid disappointment havent you.
I get it all the time because we dont have something in stock "you have ruined my childs xmas i hope your pleased with yourself" like i personally went out and bought everything so that no one else could have one. At the end of the day we can only sell what we are sent we dont order its all done on computer so people are miffed when they find out they cant order it either (again my fault) obviously we cant order our own stock we are a huge toy shop to see what we need to order is big business we only do stock take once a year basically to check the losses for the year evey item in store has to be counted every person is tested on their counting and over 50 employees start at 6pm on sunday night till 11pm sunday night then it starts again the next morning until complete all the store rooms ave to be counted and even down to every pack of battries and ice cream have to be counted so theres why we dont do ordering plus our stock changes daily so we couldnt do it anyway. I dont know about other places but if you ask we will do all we can to help we will ring around other stores for you but at the end of the day if we havent got it , we havent got it , if we can get it for you we will its no good ranting and raving like some people do that wont get you anywhere i tell you what no one would like my job an xmas or after xmas (refunds week).
