at this point nobody else can get one , for those who are lucky few congrats.....

i couldnt go far either , costco is consistenly crashing cuz ppl are still thinking they can buy a ps3 , now the only way to buy one is to constently check with your local costco daily durring these 2 months

so ps3 is done on costco.com

So I got an automated e-mail back from Costco and it didnt even answer my question.. here is their reply...


"Thank you for your email to Costco Wholesale. This is an automated
message based on your e-mail.

Due to an extremely limited supply, the new Sony PlayStation 3 Bundle
is sold out.
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. Our Contact Center is unable to
provide this information. Please check costco.com as the product page
for Sony PlayStation 3 will be updated as information becomes available.

Thank you,

Costco Wholesale Corporation
customerservice@costco.com"

But my e-mail said this....

"I would like to inform you that I'm very unhappy with the online
ording of the PS3 today, and from what I can see from your website that alot
of people were trying to order at the sametime and crashed your server.
I waited until I saw the PS3 added to your site and I added it to my
cart but when I went to checkout it would not let pay for it, so I feel
that I had one of the units but your site let me down.
I'm sorry for all the e-mails that you will get today about this issue,
and I hope your company finds a way to make this right with loyal
members.
Thank you for your time in advance."

It was a bunch of bs though. I had 1 in my cart & went to check out, after waiting 5 minutes for the checkout page to load the session timed out & kicked me out of my account. Couldn't even log back into my costco account after that. When I finally got back into my account the PS3 didn't even show up??? I thought at least I would have it in my fing basket and not be able to buy it b/c it was sold out. Yeah gettin the PS3's in your basket was no prob. Checkin out was bs. I had 3 other ppl @ work tryin the same thing w/ no luck. Costco can suck a fart out my a$$hole. I'm snatchin up as many piece of sh$t Wii's tomorrow night to sell so I can buy a PS3.

alot of ppl were on the site and those with the fastest connection ( 3mbps or more ) where the lucky ones either that or the website was like hacked or someting my cuzen told me it was going to be like that and it turned out to be what he said.

the thing is you werent loged in you had your info on the web page but if you were log in you would of gotten one same with me i wasnt loged in and i thoguht i was
