Gonna get mine in ASAP where I know the manager of the store, so I'm positive I won't get shafted out of it.

Any ideas?

If the Wii is $200 you will be able to buy a 360 and wii for the price of the blablazo PS3.

So? Whats your point? Anything I want to play on the 360 I'll end up playing on the PC or PS3. So far with how little info was shown on the Wii I have no interest in it until the Kojima game comes out for it.

Point being: Not everyone wants a 360 and/or Wii

While I love the comments on the price, that's not what the thread is for, so take it elsewhere.

It seems like alot, but if you put $50 a month away until November 17th, starting now, it makes it a hell of alot more affordable. Just don't get 1 game (or in CAG's case, 4 or 5 crappy games) a month.

I don't know if EB / GS will have their computers updated overnight to start taking preorders tommorrow, but one can hope.

What was the minimum down on a 360? $50?

I've heard rumors about gamestop and ebgames not taking backorders because of the xbox 360 fiasco.

I heard something similar, but only that preorders will be VERY limited this time.... most stores will probably be done with them in a day.

This is what I'm planning on doing for the PS3. I know it'll be the same price all in all, but at least I can save and buy it accordingly to my budget.

yeah, if only the 3rd party support was on a cheaper system. oh well, i go where the games i want go.

it's not going to be too harsh having so much time to save up for it. there are also so many ways to cut the price if you're resourceful. it'll be $300 or less out of my pocket.

november is going to be great!!! you got the release of the PS3 and Black Friday, time to start the cold wait outside best buy and saving the money. Sony made a great chioce, more consoles will be for sale, because people say they won't buy the PS3, but they will( like little kids)

A friend of mine in PA was talking to district managers who said they weren't doing preorders, but instead were going to hold a lotto for everyone that was there. If this is true, it seems like it may be YMMV on if you can preorder or not. I'd imagine, like the 360 though that there will be a paper sign-up list tomorrow with no money obligations, and then the computer system preorders will start sometime next week.
