I was in my local EB and I asked them about PS3 preorders (was curious).

The manager mentioned that he wasn't going to do preorders so that he doesn't have to deal with the fiasco he had with xbox 360.

I hope other places will.

Other places already are.

Oh, plenty of people WILL be taking PS3 preorders. Probably even that guy.

Yeah, I don't think he has a choice in the matter. I wonder if Sony learned anything from Microsoft? Think they'll have even close to the amount people pre order. It would be nice if they just filled preorders on launch day. That way, the people that have jobs and families will be able to get a launch system sometime this year.

Yeah, I really hope they don't preorder 50 and then say, "oh well, we are only filling 12, but you'll get yours sometime on second third fourth shipment..." bastards! I want to be in the top ten wherever I go.

I hope they start soon. I'll probably be ebaying it though. With the money I make, I'll probably buy one once they work out the bugs.

I am on the call list at Gamestop for when they start...I wonder why they havent started yet...

I do hope that Sony is smart like they were with the PSP and they put out enough so that anyone who wants one can get one at launch.

If Sony only ships a million during their worldwide launch (as reported by sony) the PS3 will be pretty much impossible to get without preordering/camping outside of a store.

They said a million per month and per region.

I hate to ask but does pre-ordering a system really matter? I know a lot of people were upset that EB/Gamestop/Gamecrazy etc. were not getting enough systems to preorder. I always was under the impression that preorders don't make a bell ring at Sony and someone tells them they need to send more out to certain areas or certain stores. That places like EB or Gamestop really don't know how many systems they will be getting in and take pre-orders to however wants to risk waiting. Seems like the only people who get their system preorders are the first 5-8 people on those lists. I always thought pre-orders were just some company ploy to make district managers brag about the business they are getting in their stores. So what I'm asking is does pre-ordering a system really help a certain store get more systems or is it just a crapshoot and stores hope they get more systems than pre-orders?

thanks.

I just hope GameRush starts taking pre-orders...I have credit to burn.

Only place I know of taking pre-orders already are at the TRU in Canada.

yea, it looks like TRU Canada are the only TRU's that are doing this. I got into an arguement with a customer today because he thought all TRU stores were doing it and apparently on the reserve ticket, he can't tell the difference between French and Spanish.

I wish sites like that would be more clear with their information. makes my job a whole lot easier.

Well I Already Have My Preorder So Im Okay

Considering there still starting over with the controller and working the bugs out do you think they will have enough time to build one million per region? I think there will be a shortage as well. Get your ebay account ready.

Apparently Toys'r'Us are accepting preorders for the Next Gen console, the PS3. The preorder is valued at $50 and will include the console, 60GB HDD, 2 games of your choice, and an extra controller.
