To Whom It May Concern-
Hello everyone. Just this past weekend the Playstation 3 console was available for preorder at
www.bestbuy.com (for a limited time) Everyone was able to successfully go through their checkout/cart system; obtain a order number, and get a approxiate shipping date. Every thing was set-up to do a preorder for both systems (20 GB and 60 GB) and Best Buy claims it was an "error" or "glitch" in the system. Now it's come down to the conclusion that Best Buy is going to CANCEL all 3000-5000 preorders that were made this past weekend.
We cannot allow them to cancel our orders when they made a mistake posting a online preorder. About a year ago Walmart pulled the same thing with the Xbox 360 but honored everyones preorder (this is a fact). This has caused a big inconvience to all those who preordered their systems now.
This is not meant to boycott Best Buy.
It's mainly to prove Best Buy is wrong and should hold up their end of the bargain by honoring ALL preorders that were made on November 4-5.
Lets keep the petition clean and professional. I would like to thank all those people who supported from the beganing of all this fiasco.
