Well, I always thought there would be MILLIONS of PS3' s available! So I didn' t reserve mine, but man, based on the luck you' re having, I think I might do that.. Wouldn' t want to assume Sony had too many launch units available.

Hehe.. What sarcasm? Are the different fonts disabled or something? You could almost process that sarcasm and sell it on the black market!

Oh teh noes! None of the pro-Sony Kikizo users will have PS3' s bfore 2007, while us 360 owners will be playing tons of next-gen digital goodness like Gears of War and Rainbow Six... Mikay, maybe you can pick up a Wii instead.

Man I went to my local game stop and they are out of ps3' s. Might have something to do with the PS3 not having been released yet. But keep trying! I hear 7-11 has them, and Circle K is making a big comeback soon.

Sony' s launch is gonna be messed up for various reasons. I' ll list a few: A) 500,000 units world-wide. B) Gamestop has been reporting that initial shipments will be 4 or 5 units per store. C) Pre-orders are gonna be sh*tty on a greater scale than the 360 was (considering they had more units available at launch and people were STILL getting pre-orders filled in March of the next year!) D) A rep at Gamestop told me that if a person is not there to pick up their system right away (he says he doesn' t know how many hours we' re talking about, but it will be measured in HOURS) then they will sell their units. Considering the " 4 or 5 units per store" , I think it' s CRAZY for anyone to believe that anybody other than store employees or their close friends are gonna get those units. If you' ve pre-ordered, don' t be surprised when they say, " Sorry" when you show up to get your console.

I' ll wait until they work out the bugs in the hardware. Sony consoles always have bugs at the beginning. You' re lucky if you get one that keeps on working. The Xbox360 was the same way. Also, the " short supply" is a tactic used to create a larger demand for the product. The harder it is to get, the more people want it and the more media attention it creates. More people talk about it, the media reports how it always sells out within seconds of being stocked, casual people think this is the biggest thing to happen on the planet EVAR, and Sony is pleased. Worked with the Xbox360.

After all of the warnings about poor availability, did you really think it' d be that easy to get one? Very very few people will have a PS3 this Christmas. The rest will have to just Wii/360 it.

I think it' s CRAZY for anyone to believe that anybody other than store employees or their close friends are gonna get those units. I think you' re exactly right about that. I called a couple of locations to no avail. I only wanted one to re-sell it, so no luck for my devious scalping plans.

That' s when Gamestop employees team up with, ummm, Gamecrazy employees (I guess... don' t know of any other game store in existence but EB and they ARE Gamestop) and buy each other' s PS3 stocks.

Thats like 5 months? not 5 days after the the USA launch? So I preordered GoW instead I get that but i' m not sure others will. As for the PS3 pre-orders - GameStop sold out quickly, claimed quicker than 360 which is pretty obvious as Sony have far less units available. GameStop and EB got on average 8 machines per store, 2 of which could be sold to staff and the rest will obviously go to the people they have made arrangements for. I' m pretty sure that there are no machines left to pre order so if you didn' t get yours reserved then you' re sh!t out of luck. Chances of you getting one before February/March = Nil
