Sony Commits Heavily To PS3 Demo Pods News

A $30 million demo pod initiative designed to convince gamers that can't get a PS3 to wait...
According to a recent report featured on Bloomberg, Sony will increase the number of demonstration pods for the Playstation3 throughout North America and Canada by five times that of the Playstation2.
Presumably an attempt to brainwave gamers into submission and look past the price-point, SCEA will commit over $30 million to the scheme that will see 15,000 kiosks erected in retails stores across the region, compared to the 3000 used to introduce and demonstrate the Playstation2.
Anyone trying to pick up a Playstation3 this Christmas is due for some disappointment, particularly with the troubles Sony are facing in committing units to launch and overcoming the teething troubles that its faces during the first manufacturing lines. The aggressive demo pod scheme is designed to convince gamers to wait until stocks become more plentiful instead of picking up an Xbox 360 or Wii this Christmas, though we have to question what Sony will have on these pods to convince gamers that have missed out on a PS3 not to look elsewhere when Gears of War and Red Steel are belting out in other areas of the store - perhaps back-to-back Metal Gear Solid 4 trailers?
