Who got a PS3 pre-order today?

im still waiting for them to open.... went to my local EB's @ 7AM, but they were all empty.... so I'll just assume nobody down here knows about it and be there @ 9:45 to pre-order
 
i did it last year after i got done camping at target...got my ticket...then drove to bjs and waiting inline (alone) for 1 hour until they opened and got another
 
I was hoping that you could at least get in on second shipment, instead the whole thing was a waste of time

I guess if my friend wants to wait outside target or something we can do that I think the ps3 is coming out over a weekend
 
i went to 4 different fucking ebgames around 9am and each one of them had a 25+ person line (marina del rey, santa monica, culver city, westside pavillion)

bastards
 
From what the Gamestop I was at told me there is no guarantee as to what system you will get (although they took my preference down and I was 1st in line) and there is no guarantee as to being "1st" or whatever.

Here is what I just was told and what happened while I was there:
I saw the email from corporate on the counter and read it while the guy was checking me out. My store is, as of the email, getting 16 units. They are taking preorders from 16 people. If they get 16 in, all preorders will get a system but it will be first come first served as to who get standard or premium. Also, if they only get 10 systems in, it will be first come first served among the preorders as to who gets those 10.

I think it is bullshit but don't really care because I will be up there at either midnight or when they open on the 17th.

Edit: Whether it is bullshit or not the guy at Gamestop also said Sony and Nintendo are trying to get or already have an agreement with EBAY to not allow PS3 or Wii systems to be sold on Ebay for 90 days after launch. I think that is bullshit but that is what he said.
 
i was thinking about showing up at costco the morning of the 17th, but i wasn't sure that they would even get them in that day
 
Does anyone have a link stating that everwhere will start doing pre-orders today? I completely missed this memo. And the only one EB around here is in the mall. So are my fucked?
 
The only reason I bought the 360 is because I wanted to play Oblivion (and yes it cost me a lot less then upgrading my PC to play the game) Plus I had $500 from work to spend on junk.

I would probably have waited if I didn't want to play that game and if I didn't have the extra cash at the time. I was planning on waiting for the PS3, until I heard it was going to cost so much.

In the next 6 months, I think the 360 is going to look very attractive as far as the games coming out for it go. But, to answer your questions... you should find out where that processor upgrade is really expected to happen and if it is expected to happen in the next 6 months... wait.
 
I wonder if gamestop is gonna do what they did last time with the 360 and just tell the pre order people they had a shortage then sell their 360's for $300 more
