i'm planning my trip tomorrow to get 1 of 7 preorders. what time do you guys think i should get there for an 11AM opening? if i'm first shoud i start a sign in sheet?
the other question is once i get the preorder, should i immediately list it on ebay or wait closer to christmas when i have the acutal system in hand and ready to ship?

I think you should not be an asshole and let someone who wants to play the system preorder it.

so, you are saying i should sell the preorder itself and let that person buy the system?

If you really want one bad enough, I say 2 pm today. No joke. The difference with this TRU PO, compaired to GS/Eb's preorder is that there are alot more EBs than TRUs. PLUS, You'll be competing with Soccer Moms, toy scalpers, ebayers, and gamers. Also, since it's Sunday, most have that day off. Since the employees are low paid, your chances are pretty slim you'll get one.

Good Luck, if you see 5 or more people, just drive on by to the next one. Unless that store is getting 20 units in?

Most TRU's will be getting a max of 8 PS3's luckily there are 5 TRU's in a 30 minutes from where I live. I plan to go to the one that is less frequented which happens to be the oldest one in the area.

Haha your going to show up 3 hours before store opens and expect to get a PS3? Good luck. There are already lines at some of the stores by me.
