A week after the French release of the two PS5 models, not all consumers who want to receive the console have been able to do so. Every console vendor featured on both online shopping sites instantly stormed in seconds, this situation could last for some time. Micromania, which has not yet been able to deliver all the machines reserved by its customers, has decided to give them the choice.
With repeated PS5 inventory caused by limited supply, different resellers face different avenues. The specialty retail chain Micromania has decided to contact its customers who have reserved a PS5 but have not yet had a delivery date to inform them of the three possibilities they are now facing. The message from Micromania detailing these possibilities is as follows:
You are waiting for your PS5 console and we understand your impatience.
While we are waiting for the next deliveries, we will confirm them to you as soon as possibleWe offer 3 alternatives that will be valid once our stores reopen on Saturday November 28th:
You keep your reservation by paying a 50 euro deposit that guarantees you a PS5. We will inform you of their availability as soon as possible, as we know this We strive to satisfy you as soon as possible.
Your deposit will be converted into a credit of 50 dollars, which you can use for 1 year for all other products available in our branches.
You would like this deposit of 50 dollars to be reimbursed directly to your credit card in the store or using our classic reimbursement procedure.
We apologize for this inconvenience. We are doing our best to provide you with as much information as possible about the future availability of PS5.
It depends on you
It is interesting to note that Micromania does not give any indication of the date / time when the next shipments will arrive. And it’s surprising to see this reseller contact their customers to remind them that if the situation gets too much to their liking (or if they prefer to try their luck elsewhere) they can cancel their order.
At first glance, the French GameStop subsidiary’s communication strategy gives the impression that the equity problems will continue for a while.
