I nearly went for a Transformers LE when it was close to there first release and they asked for a deposit to secure the machine. Because no images were released at that stage, I asked once it comes in and I had a game and checked it - if I didn't like it could I get my $2500 deposit back - answer was no but you could use against another purchase in the future.
That isn't a refund.
Hopefully AMD have another interested buyer to relieve punter but if not he will then have to pay more to take the machine or leave the machine there as well as the large deposit. Not everyone can afford the risk of that much money being tied up and I bet the machine would sell quickly but money be still tied up - guarantees a purchase from punter in the future, which I know is business but don't agree with it.
