I remember when DC launched and I worked at the mall in a Babbage's game store. There was a large line and after about two hours of getting people setup with their copies of ready 2 rumble boxing and Sonic Adventure two police come in with a beat up kid crying. I guess the kid came in by him self to pickup his DC and when he went to the bus stop to go home he got jumped. Moral of the story don't get a system a launch if your a little kid.

Ahh, Babbage's, the good ol' days. PB, right? Man, that story sucks hardcore, feel very sorry for that boy. Well, I'm most likely not getting a PS3, gonna hold out for wii. But good luck to you guys who are waiting for the PS3, I hope nothing bad happens either. With the # of units shipping to America, the debut of the PS3 will be a day of infamy. Pardon my french, but... SHIT's going down.

Again, good luck guys, and hope everyone comes out in one piece.

Earlier on CNN they said pre-orders for the PS3 have surpassed 1 million then the story mentioned that most national retailers still aren't taking pre-orders. Best Buy is predicting that the PS3 will be almost impossible to find until the late Spring at the earliest and that some stores are getting 30-50 calls a day about the PS3 something that never happened with the 360 2 months before launch.

i was thinking of the bb up the street.
let me know i need to check my work schedule, i better not be working.

Probably the BB in Mira Mesa one unless I go to Los Angeles to wait in line with a buddy. I am gonna try to get in line at 2pm. It matter if it is a midnight opening or the next day opening. If it is midnight then school, I am gonna be tehre at like 9am or earlier.

Planning to go to the Poway walmart if I can get the 10% off from my girl's brother who works there, but I don't think he'll do the favor for me. I'm hoping he can just save one for himself.

Not too sure right now.. tough decisions.

Well, I work for Best Buy and we never get calls about the PS3 (we had much more on 360 same time last year). Maybe once every few weeks. But then again, I educate the customers when they come in and then see the look of dread on their face when I mention price. That's generally when they ask about Wii60.

I expect we'll probably sell out of our initial shipment, but beyond that I don't expect nearly the furor as there was with the 360 or the Wii. I myself will wait until spring most likely to get a PS3. Wii, however, day one I'll have it.
