Fuck Walmart.  No evidence of any kind of CAPTCHA or crowd control.  In checkout they didn't remember my address or my CC and finally got stuck in a loop where they kept reprompting me for the CSC due to an unspecified error.  You'd think after a week of this they could have delivered something...

Thanks. The instability of my current unit has had me thinking about getting an Arcade to replace it. $170 shipped (after tax) is too good to pass up.

I just got the shipping notice, so it looks like they're finally getting these out. I was tempted to see if I could get them to knock off the shipping charge since the free shipping promotion is running again and I had to wait so long, but I figured I'd better not jinx it.

SonyStyle.com had stock today from 5:09 pm to 7:59 pm EDT. Naturally, I didn't get home until 8:30. Grr.

The 80GB bundle is no longer listed at gamestop.com.

Were they ever in stock? I was watching at midnight eastern when the product page rolled from over from pre-order to out-of-stock status, and so far as I can tell, it hasn't budged since. "Available June 12" my ass.
