In order to be able to preorder a Playstation 3 in the US, apparently Sony is requiring that you purchase a 40″ or larger television.  The idea is that this should cut down on people buying the PS3 only to resell it on eBay for a higher price. 

It seems to me that a more customer friendly approach would be to actually be able to meet the demand for your product with an appropriate amount of supply.

Sony’s antics surrounding the PS3 and all of their other customer unfriendly tactics over the years really makes me not want to ever buy any of their products again.
