I remember they tried selling $1000 360 package deals. They didn't do well at all. I guess that company doesn't know how to read sales figures.

You are completely clueless. How does sony have anything to do with this? This post just shows how stupid you really are. Just stop typing. Its hard enough to read your posts. If your english was a little bit worse, it would help disguise how stupid you are

HMV is doing that because they know that those people will just return their PS3s. Those people will get so mad that they will forget to return their PSPs too.

Clever though stupid
