Yeah i mean they probably have allot of promo stuff just sitting around but because i'm not a direct customer i'm not able to obtain any.
Very sad story since Sony and Microsoft don't require you to mortgage your house just to get some POS....

Well i can shed some light on the situation.
I run a video games store in Melbourne (where NOA is based) and i stock roughly the same amount of GC titles as Xbox and PS2, each system is given the same floor space and same A/V set-up.
However when it comes to POS items its impossible to obtain any from NOA. I've asked my supplier for any kind of GC/GBA posters, dummy boxes and displays, NOTHING, not a thing. When i ask for Xbox or PS2 its how many of anything do you want?
Here's some quotes from my supplier:
-On stocking the gameboy player/GC bundle:
"We where offered the Gamecube with the Gameboy Player but we didn’t purchase it as ******** wasn’t selling many Gameboy Players; this was decided by the purchasing dept. Sorry about the inconvenience."
-On obtaining Nintendo promo items for my store:
"We wont be able to get any GBA or Gamecube POS as Nintendo are actually dropping off in sales; they don’t really send out any POS unless it’s a special offer that they have going eg. Players Choice Console etc. "
I then called NOA to get yelled at by some sales person that since i'm not a direct customer (ie i cannot commit to $20,000 per month in Nintendo stock which is their minimum requirment), they cant send me any kind of promo anythings.
So this leads to retailers being overwhelmed by anything xbox or ps2 and with zero to no advertising material for nintendo stock. Which in turn, leads to declining sales....its not brain surgery...just advertise and help out retailers other than Myer or Kmart!!
