Sony Offers Gamestop Managers Prizes For Pushing PS3 Units
       
Our source at Gamestop has come through for us again, folks. We know how this sounds, but trust us, we have the documents to back it up. Apparently, Sony is currently running a behind-the-scenes contest with Gamestop that is resulting in employees pushing the Sony console on consumers. The contest works as follows.

Sony assigns a target sales number for each Gamestop store. This figure is obtained by using at the average PS3 sales numbers from April of this year, and manipulating it a bit. Then, the store manager in each district that sells the most PS3 units above the Sony assigned goal will be recognized as the winner. The manager who wins is then awarded 20,000 points to use on the Sony/Gamestop rewards website. On top of that, the manager of the number one store in the entire company wins an additional 10,000 points. Since we cannot access the reward site, we cannot tell just how much junk 30,000 points can buy, but we expect it is a decent amount. If anyone has any more info on this program, let us know. In the meantime, you can read it for yourself by clicking the link.

*Update1: We got some more information on the Gamestop point system and what it can buy you, thanks to reader FragNemesis!

Playstation 3 games (and they only offer Sony-published ones, so Motorstorm, Resistance, Genji, and NBA '07 are the only ones currently offered) cost 3450 points to purchase. Since these games are $60, the point/dollar ratio is 57.5 points per dollar. 20k points is almost $350 in games. They do not currently offer the purchase of PS3s on their website.

听起来有点让人难以置信。但我们（GamersReports.com网站）获得了内部消息和内部信件，确定索尼和GameStop正在幕后偷偷进行PS3的压货行动，展开PS3的推销攻势。

索尼给每家GameStop零售店都指定了目标销售数字。这个数字基于今年四月的PS3平均销售数量，并略有上扬。每个地区零售店卖出最多PS3主机的店头会被确认为获胜者。零售店经理可以获得20000点点数，在索尼和Gamestop开设的特别奖励网站上花掉。销售竞赛的全地区第一名店头经理还能获得额外10000点。由于奖励网站是内部网站，外人无法访问，因此我们不清楚这最高30000点的奖励都能买到些什么。

更新消息：根据网友FragNemesis的爆料，内部奖励网站上可以买到的东西，其实是……PS3的游戏！每个游戏要花3450点购买，目前提供的有烂泥摩托、抵抗、源氏~神威奏乱、NBA'07。游戏公开售价是60美元的话，也就是说这些内部“奖励点”约合57.5点=1美元，20000点相当于350美元，只能用来购买以上几款PS3游戏。内部网站目前没有提供购买PS3主机的项目。

最2的是，销售经理的返点居然只能用来购买那可怜的几款PS3游戏……

换个肥皂、奶粉什么的也比这个实惠啊……
