simosupersub Posted October 30, 2009 Share Posted October 30, 2009 Just been to Derby's PC world to buy this years game. Couldn't find a single copy on the shelf and there was no gap where it was supposed to go! Asked an assistant, as it seemed odd they wouldnt have in stock what is consitantly one of the biggest selling PC games each year. I found his reply rather odd: "Yes we have it. Its not on the shelf though. We've hidden them all behind the till. We thought there would be a lot of demand for them, so thats why we've done it. If you go to the customer service desk, and wait in the line for help, i'll call them now and tell them your coming for a copy" So I went and got in line, explained to the man i'd been told I could get a copy from here. He then dug around to the bottom of a cupard and found me out one of only three copies in there and sold it to me. What a strange marketing strategy they have. Something is going to sell well so lets hide it and make people have to ask, then quietly send them to the desk to buy one of the hidden games likes it's some illegal substance! (lol kind of ironic beause of how addictive the game is.....) This may just be PC world Derby, but if you go to any other PC world tonight and they dont have a copy. Make sure to ask and maybe even equire do they have any 'hidden away' - just in case any more PC worlds are doing this. At least I have another excuse to PC World now........
