PS3 pre-order NOW OPEN @ gamestop!

only for ONE day 10-10-06 us and canada...be there early
100 down first come first served....

I looked at the GameStop website....so PS3 is actually coming out on November 17th?

YEP, but they have been holding back pre-orders for a long time because of shortages, they don't want another 360 disaster...
so they are doing a one day pre-order, first come first serve....

It will be pure chaos tomorrow, to say the least. I wonder if it'll make the news?

Im there any news of how much you need to put down?

100

wow this is very surprising.

Wow just wow DA had it right pure chaos.

So I woke up at the crack of dawn (8AM ) thats really early for me Went to the bank took 300 out of savings.

Went to Dunkin Donuts got a Dunkachino then parked at Gamestop looked up and there was a line of 10 kids at the door bunch of nerds too!! I talked to two of them who had been there since 10 last night. So I quickly sprinted down to the EBGames in the mall 10 min away. Got there all taken. Im freaking out at this point. There is another EB 5 min away (yes I must live in nerdville) and there is a line out the door for Ps3 and Wii. Finally im like ok I need to call my friend a few citys over to get a PS3.

I call him up and he says I "I told you I could hold them for you but I cant sorry man" so Im really depressed but he tells me where I can get one. Called that store up its about a hour away. Nothing still. So no PS3 for me I got fucked up the ass badly.

Oh and if you want to pre-order more than 1 you need to do it at seperate stores. Gamestop/EB only allows 1 per person and they take all your info down and send it to every store too.

Just a crazy morning!!!

Holy shit, that's insane! Sucks you can't get one. I def. won't be getting one anytime soon. Anyone have a solid figure for the price?

In my area:

PS3 - 600.00 USD
all games - 59.99 USD
controllers and extra stuff the link around 40-50 USD

its definitly a rich persons thing Ive been saving up for PS3 had my 600 in savings since spring when it was announced to be coming for XMAS. Probably would have trouble getting games but I think blockebuster will be getting a new customer once i get the PS3

Also Wii is sold out in my area too.

And If you think the PS3 is expensive the original cost of the Atari plus inflation would equal about 600 US now.

Damn. I'll have plenty of time to get one further down the line. I didn't get my PS2 until like 1 or 2 years after it came out, so I can wait on my PS3, but I KNOW I want one for sure. Hopefully prices will come down a little bit, cause $600 is just plain fuckin' retarded. The price is right up there (or higher perhaps) with the old Neo-Geo system, for fuck sake!

WORD! I really was depressed cuz ive circled the PS3 as the first system I could get with my own money on the date of release to be one of the "cool kids/guys" and have it and brag and whatever. Next shipments arent for a while the problem is that the popularity of it is there. Ive heard that Gamestop/EB is done with pre-orders so you can see already that ppl are willing to shell out 600 for it. I can see it going low did the Xbox drop about 100 already?

The games I dont get. 60 bucks for a game is retarted. 600 I can sorta see seeing all the shit and internet capability and bla bla. But 60 for a game. WTF especially when you have games that arent just onestops but yearly!

Its fucking rediculous

Originally from another forum I just got off the phone with a GameStop spokesman who confirmed that as of 2 p.m. Mountain Time, the chain's 3,600 stores has sold out of every single one of their PS3 pre-orders. As of right now, he went on to say, the chain has no word on whether they will be getting anymore for launch day. So this could be it for their initial batch of consoles. While they sell-out wasn't confirmed until 2 p.m., the spokesman told me it was a matter of minutes at most stores. He added that this was much faster than the sell-out rate of the Xbox 360.

So I guess my area didnt get the memo because Wii pre-orders where done today here too so hopefully those looking for a Wii didnt get the shaft

info is coming fast....

Wallmart and Kmart are to do the Midnight Madness deal on Nov 17th for the Ps3 both locations suspected to have 10 depending on your area vs. population so the camp out begins!

No need for a ps3 i got me a 360.


Muahahahaha.

Crap.



None the less. I want me a Wii. In my area they wont be taking reservations till friday. Will see what happends.

good luck fight off the 12 year old nerds who should've been in school today for me

There were people lined up all night at the gamestop downt the street from my house(sacramento, ca)
so i went to one down the street at 4am, I was the first line but in about 3 hours the line was 16 people deep...

funny just for a PRE-ORDER

Considering the average store in North America has access to all of 8 PS3's, is it really a surprise?

I'm waiting a long time before buying a PS3 or 360. I'll be getting Wii right away though.

Sony has more than just videogame troubles to deal with. I'm not confident in their showing for this generation of games. Especially for a 600 dollar block of hardware that can only really be fully taken advantage of with an HDTV.

Pre-Order was only for the US.

Canada starts next monday... good thing some of our EB games are in malls... that way there is more doors to cover and ran into the mall...

i will get that PS3... worst thing is im gonna go see a guy a EB games and pay him some money under the table to make sure i get myself one...

then when i get it, im sending my 360 to microsoft to get it fixed... and im sure once i get the 360 back, it will be time to send the PS3 in aswell... i really dont think it will be working that great on release. But i just want one... dont really know what to do with my money these days.

good god thats an insane presale

i AM doin the wii midnight thing at wal mart when it comes out though (dixon CA)

the people that went to gamestop and EBX, apparently some that reserved for the 100$ yesterday, sold that reserve thing on ebay for like 600

That $100 doesn't guarantee you one when it's released btw...
