Toys R Us to have PS3 Presales Oct. 29 As well as Elmo TMX

Just called ToysRUs, they said that they arent sure but odds are they will start taking preorders on Sunday.

Dude also added they are getting calls like every 15 minutes....
 
I was thinking that a couple hours before they open should be alright (in a fairly small town). I read that the people who got there around 8am for the gamestop preorders were able to get theirs. (I think Gamestop's open at 10)

"Down in northern Kentucky, Ben Kuchera was able to land in second place on his local EB Games' list. He arrived a few minutes after 8am and after positioning himself in front of the door, was quickly joined by four other gamers who had been waiting in their cars for a line to form. All four of them were excited more by the prospect of owning a PS3 than by any particular game, and one said his console was intended for eBay instead of his living room."*



Still, I'm going to call a Gamestop near the ToysRUs I live by and see how the atmosphere was for that prerelease, then based on what they say, I'll add two hours just to make sure. I figure more people will have heard about this than the Gamestop one since an ad's going out.

Edit: I forgot that the preorders at gamestop took place on a weekDAY. Also, it seem a lot more people know about this than the Gamestop preorders I might get there 7 or 8 hours early now, but I hope that's pushing it.
 
if they can spend the better part of three days sitting outside a store then i agree with this statement. no life ambition ftl
 
Nothing wrong with bundles, they will just go for more on eBay.


EDIT: I am pretty sure you can preorder just the console... Since the picture of the ad that guy posted, teh price for 20gb and 60gb systems are $499 and $599 respectively.
 
So far so good at my store. No one there yet....

I don't even understand how you can even wait 30 hours at a store...people are insane.
