I just got this in my email, good stuff, here...

Having worked at Comp USA, I will tell you this...

Sony Reps do the following:

1. Demand we put PS2 and PSX demo stations in the front displays, and the Dreamcast/ N64 ones in the back...way back where almost no one goes.

2. Will purposely break (yes you read that right) the Nintendo and Dreamcast displays by pulling at the cables and then shoving them into the display. Since they are locked and only Sega/ Nintendo reps can open them we can't fix them.

3. Threaten to have employees fired if they try to change the set up to what sells better.

4. Demand (ie threaten) that the N64 and Dreamcast displays only recieve the crappiest of the all the crap games.

5. Allowed the local area manager to buy EIGHT PS2s and then sell them on Ebay.

6. Demand we stock Fantavision though it DOESN'T SELL WORTH CRAP!

Wowee. I'm going to go visit some retailers today and see if I can't get my hands on some corporate secrets...
