this is another example of the inetpness (I can think of worse words...keeping the "G" rating) of the SOE Staff.
Here is a product that you have NO need for inventory or shipping or even manufacturing. Just have everyone buy it on-line and your cost is....essentially ZERO! No need to make the CDs, print the accompnying material, ship it via UPS, Fed Ex, or whatver, and no need to bill the retailers. No retailers at all! All the cost is in the on-line equipment, and nop middlemen. Just give the people who buy it on-line nice gimmicks to make them feel loved,, and SOE will clean up.
So what do they do? make sure that you dont buy on-line, that they must make the disks, ship them, and pay people to deal with the inventory, shipping, and collections. C'mon, Sony. On-line sales are the big selling point of the internet. Give me a horse, bag, or big stick. I dont need more keychains.
one more note on Sony questionable intelligence...
There is a outlet mall near where I live, with a Sony store. went looking for a game card. Wal-mart was ot, the computer stores were out, so I drove the 30 miles to the Sony store. guess what. they dont carry any EQ merchandiese there. ? Had tons of PS stuff, other games, all PC. No EQ. Just odd as hell to me.
