"It's a common strategy. Create an artificial shortage of product to drive up demand, play up the shortage in the press and everyone will take notice thinking that the shortage is due to awesome sales and think they have to get one or be left out. They did it with cabage patch Kids in the 80's and nintendo has been doing it with consoles for years."

Actually.... Creating a shortage (i.e. keeping supply low) does not affect a change in demand. It simply keeps the price high. Profit per console was $92 according to Kotaku before the price cut. And, as predicted by the shape of a supply curve, as the price cut occurred, Nintendo reduced production. Surely Nintendo could have sold more if it produced more... because that upped production would put downward pressure on the price. Albeit that would not have been a PROFIT maximizing strategy.

Shaky hand Ultimate Alliance!

You can use it on anything in the store... including a 1600 ms points card.

I work at Toys R Us. We are doing the Sgt. Johnson pre-order bonus, but at my store, we have already received the codes for the existing pre-orders. So any new pre-orders between today and release will not include the Sgt. Johnson bonus. (unless they overnight more codes to our store). The giftcard is for Toys R Us, not pizza hut, and there is a 6 hour activation.
