It sure appears that they are in panic mode so you have to think the first generation of these are going to be even more problem prone than the first gen usually is. Rushed like this, I'd be concerned. Certainly has me thinking about flipping one in the unlikely event I get my hands on one.

The quickest way to double your money is to fold it in half and put it back in your pocket.

defective blu-ray components?! Sony's next great format has a flaw...nOOOOO...you dont say. they've put out such great media formats, like MiniDisk, UMD and BetaMax. 
another negative point for Sony/Blu-Ray...long live HD-DVD.

Yeah... I agree... what Microsoft should do is release Halo 3 by Christmas... that would drive the first nail into the Sony coffin... I dont think it will happen... but if it could... it would be a homerun...
Saint's Row is pretty good... it has the Grand Theft Auto feel.. and I am sure it is selling a few units... but a good shooter... puts Microsoft in the drivers seat...

We are going to get Gears of War, Call of Duty 3, and F.E.A.R. all before Christmas. Those are already a few nails in the PS3 coffin. Halo 3 would be shoveling the dirt in.
Out

Yeah.. I am thinking the same thing... if they release 400,000 of them that is what 2 per store, maybe 3 if we are lucky... counting Gamestop, Best Buy, Circut City, Wal-Mart, Targets... and how many of those are going to be eaten up by stockroom clerks?

If ebgames.com takes pre-orders hell yes I'll try to get one. But to get on a line for 10 hours and deal with a rabid crowd, no frigging way. I'll wait until they get all the glitches out of them and forget about flipping one of the first ones.
