Do they have to pay taxes on the ps4
If those managers are smart, they'll use them as incentives to keep employees motivated through launch and black friday.
But it's gamestop, so most of them will keep it and wonder why they have so many problems getting people to fill shifts.
If Microsoft don't do something similar might this mean that they try and push PS4?
Good move by Sony.
...You should probably be a manager by now...
Your move Microsoft.
LOL
I can't accept gifts from our suppliers where I work, for ethic reasons. Last Xmas, I didn't know that policy and almost got fired because I accepted a USB stick and some chocolates.
I'm gonna call BS cuz my manager owes me $100 that they've been putting off for paying be since Feb. And no doubt the manager will just either immediately trade in for cash (or wait a month before doing so) or kept it at home and let it collect dust and never play it. Mean while I've been at EB/GS for 12 years and haven't gotten as much as a "thanks for not knocking over a magazine rack" card. Oh well...thems the breaks. Gotta sells them Maddens tomorrow

Lucky B's!
Im a big Sony supporter., but this is obviously a bribe. In my line of work, we could never accept these.
They are also getting Xbox One's
ahaha I wonder how this news would be received by Gaffers if MS did it.
It's advertising. Every company does it. From handing out systems to the pens and notepads you see at doctor's offices.
Sony just shot themselves in the foot.
I don't know how much the rest of you know about Gamestop culture (I'm an expert), but honor and shame are huge parts of it. It's not like it is at E3 when Microsoft could just give away Xbox 360 Slims to everyone at their conference. If you accept a bribe at Gamestop, you bring shame to yourself, and the only way to get rid of that shame is repentance.
What this means is the american public, after hearing about this, is not going to want to purchase a Playstation 4, nor will they purchase any of Sony's games. This is HUGE. You can laugh all you want, but Sony has alienated an entire market with this move.
Sony, publicly apologize for treating Gamestop managers to a free PS4 and games or you can kiss your business goodbye.
