Ditto I could care less about bragging rights, this system will have a great launch even if only half of the scheduled games make release. Cant wait to play this thing in its full surround sound 720p beauty. I could give a crap what anyone else thinks.
Now I have to figure out which way to go. Went to Ebgames and finally talkd to a rep that knew what he was talking about. He confirmed they had 23 preorders and 22 slots, but one of them is for a core system that nobody else wanted.
So it would appear I have a guarenteed system on Launch and...
I do have one at a local Ebgames, when I asked what number I was for preorders the said it didnt work that way and that any pre-order is guarnteed a system on launch day. When I ordered they did not have a seperate SKU for Core and premium, but when I call yesterday I was automatically upgraded...
Think I'll call Gamestop, to see if there bundles are 1st shopment or not. Theres come closest to the games I actually want, only game I wasnt planning on getting in the bundle was Dead or Alive 4 and that one I was considering for a later purchase.
got the same email, so it sounds like the cancled even the early orders. The Bastages.
On The bright side I called my local Ebgames and I was automatically set to the premium system and they said I'd be getting a first shipment :)
yes, most B&M stores were sold out of preorders when I started checking a month ago. I did find a Ebgames that was still taking them, (It was a new strip mall location) so maybe thats why they had some slots. I was told it was first shipment, but they also still didnt have seperate SKU for core...
not me gotta have it at launch, I used to be into Video Games alot and have been out of it for a couple of years. I havent ever been this excited for a launch, and I was pretty damn excited when PS2 and Xbox came out.
Everyone has there own opinion on launch games but IMO there is some really...
Yeah the core havent moved very fast, but seeing as how it could be ordered by itself for $299 it must have been appealing to many.
But the value of the preimum is to great for me to pass up.
I would assume it is with the estimated ship date they gave, I know it means nothing as far as an official date, but the fact that it was the early date would lead me to belive it's the first shipment. Anyway I look forward to you posting the results.
Score, Thanks for the headsup. It may be that there not sold out becuase news broke overnight. Anyway I hope these ship out at release, if not I still have $50 down at the local Ebgames.
