Sony Computer Entertainment America has issued an alert warning consumers not to purchase pre-order discount offers on the PS3 from certain websites. However there is no warning issued from Sony Computer Entertainment Australia at present.
“It has come to the attention of Sony Computer Entertainment America that a number of websites are currently promoting pre-order offers on discounted or bulk shipments of the upcoming PLAYSTATION 3 computer entertainment system. Such offers are not done with any cooperation from SCEA or its parent company. SCEA strongly recommends against consumers pursuing such offers, as their legitimacy cannot be confirmed. We recommend consumers purchased PlayStation products only from authorized SCEA retailers and resellers,” the American alert reads.
But according to Sony Computer Entertainment Australia spokesperson Adrian Christie, this is not a problem in Australia at the moment.
“We haven’t identified any issues at present in Australia, however, we reiterate Sony America’s statement to stick to buying PS3 from authorized retailers and resellers. We’ve had experiences in the past, such as with the worldwide PSP email scam, and it’s getting to that point now with PS3’s upcoming launch. We recommend you only put your money into authorized sellers,” he said.
