I'm joking. I know dial up sucks a big one. Especially since I can't play games online!

Ok, I have 2 24/7 walmarts in my town. I have an exam till 12:30 and than it'll pobably be at least 60 min. b4 I even get to a Walmart after that, so does 1:30-2 on the 16th, sound too late for a midnight release in a town of around 50,000?

I still dont see how Walmart is going to do this. I think its probably gonna be a community line that gets started by who ever starts the line i guess.

At this point i have pretty much given up hope and will wait for the second release. But i will still go to my 24/7 Walmart at 9 pm on the 16th to check it out and see whats going down cuz u never know.

d00d...don't get all emo on us. You scare the fark out of me....

ok back to this launch thing. I was thinking, if a store is not handing out vouchers can't we just bum rush the electronics dept? What if I got two of my closest friends to go with me, and I showed up & they waited in the car. Then, as soon as the door is about to open, they GTFO of the car, bum rush the door, then kick the living snot out of all the lamers & I hit the electronics dept? I'm a fast guy; i could get there in about 1 minute flat from the store i'm thinking of. In a big city, there is less chance to get one, but if you live in a more rural area the peeps might not have $600$ to spend. There are two stores more rural in this area. As long as i camp overnight, i could be one of the first in line.

I beg you...no I implore you...don't let the filthy Ebayers get all the first run units. They will sell them at 2x or more the $$$ on flEaBAY. Stop those little pricks; make sure you show up on November 17th. With some muscle. And some hustle; cause slow people will not get a first run PS3 if there is no voucher. It's you against everyone else in line.

Stand up and BE A MAN! Show your pride for the PS3 on November 17th!!!

disregard the link i posted above about best buy preorders...

Bestbuy preorders deemed "a system glitch"
by Greg Bergen

Quote:
Late last night, Bestbuy customers were able to fill out preorder forms for the PlayStation 3, online at www.bestbuy.com. The whole process seemed legit as customers believed they could obtain a PS3 without having to lineup or camp outside the store on launch day. However, the simple fact that Bestbuy gave customers preorders for a console should shock everyone, considering the fact that they never do preorders. There were reports that some people were actually able to fill out 12-15 preorders using different accounts. The whole system was hectic and fueled by the need for PlayStation 3.

To clear up this mess, we at PS3Land were able to get a hold of a Bestbuy sales representative via their public number 888-BESTBUY. The man assured us that the whole preorder process was a system glitch. Informed us that Bestbuy does not do preorders and that everyone who was able to obtain a preorder on their site will not be receiving one and will be given a full refund. His answer comes as no surprise, considering Bestbuy's history of console launches and the lack of news that they would be taking preorders last night. To clear up the matter even further, the sales representative assured us that all participating Bestbuy outlets will be opening their doors on November 17 at 8 a.m. An employee will come around giving out PS3 tickets that correlate to the exact amount of PS3s their store holds. When a customer receives a ticket, he/she will be able to go inside the store and purchase a PS3. Does this process sound familiar?

PS3Land apologizes to anyone who had their hopes of getting a PS3 without having to wait in unbearably long lines. The PS3 will be hard to obtain due to the low number of units available on launch day. Good luck to all of those who will be camping out for a system, and happy PS3 hunting.

eb and gamestop wont be fufilling all preorders anymore.

But they all do sort of the same thing, and that is rearrange what you thought was real, and they remind you of the beauty of very simple things. You forget, because youre so busy going from a to z, that theres 24 letters in between... You turn on... tune in... and you drop out...

I wonder how many of the people who put their pre-orders on ebay wont be gettin one this Friday. I know if had bought one off ebay and was told that they didnt get their pre-oder, I would say then give me my money back.

Dont let the door hit you on the way out, beacause I dont want ass prints on my new door!

i thought ittl be a case of "buyer beware." you buy something that does not exist more than on word, and you should know the risk. only idiots buy pre-orders off ebay.

i think with the preorders the seller has a window of time say 2 weeks to get you the system...not sure as i decided against selling my preorder. actually i didn't meet all the criteria to be able to sell, so i didn't have much of a choice...

Ebay is will all the action wil be at but yahoo wil have some too.

PS3 Bundle Available at Costco.com on 11/17

Just received the following email from Costco regarding PS3 availability:

Dear Costco Member,

You requested to be notified when the Sony PlayStation 3 Bundle is available for purchase at Costco Wholesale. This item will be available for purchase on costco.com on Friday, November 17, 2006 at approximately 8:00 a.m. Pacific Time. The item will be prominently displayed on the homepage of costco.com until it is sold out.

Due to an extremely limited supply, we can accept orders from current Costco members only on a first come, first served basis, with a limit of one unit per household. The Costco warehouses do not have units available at this time.

Orders for the Sony PlayStation 3 Bundle will be shipped via UPS by Monday, November 20, 2006. Tracking information will be available on costco.com.

We hope to receive additional quantities in our warehouses and on costco.com prior to Christmas, but we do not have an estimated arrival date, or approximate quantity at this time. We apologize in advance if you are unable to purchase this item from Costco Wholesale.

[Thanks Parker]
