i also herd of certain stores having "no camping" polocies, they put up signs that say if you camp you will be arested for trespassing. you can only start getting in line the day of the opening. i am part of a three man team for gathering ps3s, so i may have 2 to sell. ill post on these forums before they get put on ebay.
and as far as people being pissed off that so few are being released... there is a BIG reason for that. suposes they have horrible bugs or glitches? its the very first gen, the very first gen of any system usualy has some pretty big bugs. if they made loads of them then they would have to recal all of them and eat so much money. the first gen is like a test almost.
Dude are you in NYC? I live in NyC and was planning on camping out on thursday. Where are u planning on camping?
Pleas post that information as a PM so you guys don't get in trouble, I would hate to see you guys not ba able to be here anymore.
Have fun.

I called Best Buy and the sales associate told me 100, he was 100% sure to, he said they just received that info, i thought for sure he was joking, so now if i'm like 75 people back, im still getting one, so happy

maybe he was messing around? you live in a big city?
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...

and no my account was not hijacked, im just a little po'ed at sony for possible shafting my chances at the console. if people are already waiting in places is tomorrow too late? geez this is rediculous.
Well yeah, i wish they had more units myself, but what can you do? But seriously, its not up to Sony to say when people can start camping, if other people wnat to quit jobs just to camp out and you don't get one because of it, well more power to the people that can do that kind of crap.
Yo!

I live in nyc and I called a local best buy and they only said they're expecting 20 units. Don't keep your hopes up, because 100 is not happening. Plus look closely at your sunday's best buy add, it says that supply is limited up to 20 units.

WOW, that'd be a HUGE let down if you're right. Hopefully you're wrong (no offense).
I bought Madden and Call of Duty 3 on BB.ca, and now it says outta stock, so i might end up not getting any games to start. I live in a Suburb in Montreal, how bout you

Whenever I get my actual PS3 to keep, all of us here at Afterdawn should start an Afterdawn Clan in Resistance.

Hah... Thats a good idea. Too bad I won't be able to practice until that coming Monday. I have to go ut of town to see the Packers play the Patriots. Hopefully they can somehow manage to pull off a 'W'. Ohh well... I think that is a good idea though. Could even make some sort of tourny or something.

If Resistance manages to get out of stock... Sony will have a very dissapointed customer. However, I doubt i since I have a Wal-Mart, Gamestop, Circuit City, and Target within a mile of each other. Very slim chance of the games selling out. Can't wait... only 69 hours until I get my PS3 and play it. Can't wait.

It's not a Suburb really, but its not Montreal, since every city is independent now, i heard 100 ps3's from a Best Buy in Pointe Claire.
I pre-ordered my games late october, and saved 10$ a game, but now the game's prices have already gone down for Release Day.

lol, 25-100 that's pretty damn undecisive, why can't they just say the actual number.

hmm... well thats a HUGE estimate. The most I have got was 10-30 PS3's.
@face... I will get my PS3, unlike other money hungry people, I will keep it. Trust me, I will get one, if not... something bad is going to happen... I just need to get some concrete plans on how many units each store is getting.

i talked to an employee at best buy when i played the ps3 (details in the ps3 box something thread) and he said he expect at minimum 25 of the 60gb units, but they havnt recieved anything yet.
@TBS02
try http://www.ps3seeker.com if you havnt yet, or call your local retailers tomorrow.

I've known about PS3 seeker... however, it is just the decision of where to go. I can either drive 40 minutes to the Chapel Hill Best Buy which is doing a midnight launch, so 100ish PS3's. Or go to my local CirctuiCity, Wal-Mart, or Target and try to be 1st in line. On Thursday night right before BB closes, I am going to call to see if anyone is camping out already and if so, how many. Then if there is less than 50 ( I want to be garunteed a 60GB) I will have my dad wait there from 7 am to 4 pm when I would show up and takeover. Or I can go to Target which has a no camper policy until after the store closes which is at 10, then once they get the # of people wanting a PS3 to be the same as the # they are getting, then they wil hand out tickets. That would beat staying overnight. Then the CC emplyee was a dick so I'm not going there. And wal-Mart has had ALOT of calls and are expecting a minimum of 10 60GBs. Decisions decisions. What do you think I should do?

if you want to garantee yourself a ps3 try not to be farther than 20 people back if you have the option. on a midnight launch, i'd aim around 75.

Keep in mind though, I want a 60 GB version, and Wal-Mart stores are having a minimum of 10. And Target isn't exactly sure. Approximately according to the Best Buy ad, 20 60Gb minimum, and 6 20GB minimum are anticipated. So that is about a fourth of all the consoles are going to be 20 GB, so yeah, I would definately need ot be in the first 75. If I go to the midnight launch, only 52.5 more hours left!! I can't wait.
