These are spoken for, sorry, or I would help ya. My brother graduated from school and one I will give to him.
I will keep you informed if I hear about any pre sales. But again, chances of getting this online are good, trust me. Keep an eye on that store that have a "forrest" name.  |
Don't worry, I was only kidding with you. But I appreciate it. I can wait until March or whenever. Those machines may actually work.

You don't think there are a huge number of folks watching the online sites? I don't think the chances are all that great.
If someone wants to camp out 5 days, they're nuts but sure they deserve one. That's not the problem. It's these organized groups that are paying homeless folks and others to do the waiting that I have trouble with. I posted an article about the dark side of the launch in Japan in another thread. It's really ugly. The real culprit here is Sony for allowing this to happen.

I know what you are saying Z and I agree with you on most everything, I'm also against that. I hate hype, and principally the consequences it brings. BUT, don't give up on getting these on line. Many online retailers are just waiting to see how many they will get so they can make a pre-order. They are afraid of the whole BB fiasco. And this week most of them will know how many they will receive.

Bad timing for me. I've been home the past 2 weeks and checking the online sites regularly. But, I start a new job tomorrow and it's not likely I will be able to check during the week. maybe I'll get lucky and they put them up at night. Not a big deal as I have already resigned myself to not getting one.

Well, since most are going to flippers, ebay may be the best place for anyone who really wants one to get it. Lots of them will sell on eBay. It will be interesting to see at what price range they settle into.

Zurb - just post your credit card number and if any of us see one available we'll snatch it for you. To insure your card is working we'll each randomly make a few purchases.

I was planning to camp out this week for the PS3, but after:
1. Securing my Wii and Zelda preorder yesterday at TRU
2. Picking up an Xbox 360 System with $100 Rebate (@ Microcenter B&M)
3. Picking up the HD-DVD Drive from Value Electronics
4. Picking up Gears of War at Best Buy
......Sony can royally kiss my ass for dropping the ball on this PS3 launch.
They may gain my interest again when Devil May Cry 4 shows up some time in late 2007.
