Questionable practices going on
Standalone Move controllers are as rare as hen's teeth at the moment no matter where you live in the world, but particularly in New Zealand where the controller has been sold out for over three weeks. Has that stopped unscrupulous retailers from advertising the controller as "in stock" to get more sales? Apparently not, attracting criticism from top New Zealand watchdog Consumer NZ's Sue Chetwin:It's potentially a breach of the Fair Trading Act if you're marketing products you don't have to sell. Also it's unfair competition in a way if people have spent that money with you, when they might have spent it elsewhere.Online retailers advertising sold-out items as available to purchase, with no mention of when the item will come in, is pretty shady stuff, though many retailers have relented and opened up to their customers about the situation.
