HMV and GAME on London’s Oxford Street have both CANCELLED their midnight openings for PS3 launch day. Instead, GAME is offering free bacon sandwiches on the following Friday morning, while HMV has resorted to giving away 150 copies of Virtua Tennis 3.

Funny – usually console launches don’t require blatant bribery to get people to turn up and buy new consoles. Usually, there’s some sort of mad rush and excitement, not miserable staff in polo shirts handing out BACON SANDWICHES to tempt people in so they don’t get sacked.

Or go to Sainsburys, buy some bread and and some bacon and save yourself about 422 quid.

THE FACTS TO BACK THIS UP:

  • HMV CAN’T BE BOTHERED WITH PS3
  • GAME CAN’T BE BOTHERED EITHER, BUT IS AT LEAST MAKING UP AN EXCUSE
