PS3: No Pre-Orders
 
For shits and giggles I decided to call up the local Gamestop and find out how they were handling Gamestop Pre-Orders - their response:

"We arent. After we took PO's for the XBOX360 and MicroSoft took a shit and underdelivered, we arent taking PO's"
"So first come first server. . ."
"Yup"

Its going to be fucking UGLY on launch day. This is like - dagger in the heart news. Basically folks - mark your calenders for Nov. 17th - I'm going campin.

gtboys34 07-18-2006 03:04 PM

Zoner 07-18-2006 03:07 PM

I'll wait until the PS4 comes out and they're $75 in a bargain bin in Wal*Mart.

OH MAN so I can play the 25 movies that are released on it on my non-HD TV

no thx

TGB! 07-18-2006 03:25 PM

ill be getting the 600 dollar version, just because i dont want them to release some shit that works with the card reader, and be left in the cold. . .plus 60g's of space versus 20g's and once these machines are hacked - no way is 20g's enough to fit enough games on (60g's is barely enough). . .

the silver trim i can do w/o

yea im gonna camp for this thing. . .ive never done that before and if you get the right group of people (Meetup.com PS3 fan group or some shit) - could make it fun. . .what the fuck else do i have to do that day - "work". . .oh the horror - missing a day of work. . .yea right. . .push comes to shove ill be there with the female im sleeping with so at least itll be that. . .

garaunteed - these things are going to sell out fucking quick. . .and i have no intention of waiting for fucking ever to get one. . .

as for getting an xbox360 - for what? - i cant think of a single game they have thats EXCLUSIVE that i want to play - im more into RPGs, STRAT-Games, action platformers - and some of the best RPG's/Action-Platformers have come to the PS2: Final Fantasy, Wanderer and The Collosus, GTA, Disgae, Persona, Mega-Ten series - etc. etc. XBOX just dont have that for meh. . .

ninty 07-18-2006 03:26 PM

can't you preorder from somewhere else? surley there are other stores that will do pre orders.

you dont have a HD TV, holy fuck grampa!
there will be alot more movies, there is still 3-4 months

Nyck 07-18-2006 03:29 PM

I def give sony the nod for games. I havent seen ANYTHING on 360 that I would want to play. Hell the sony games I have for ps2 are better than alot (GoW, MLB the show, etc.)

Proteus 07-18-2006 03:30 PM

Xbox has no games... but they will. And Xbox Live is way better than PS3 Live or whatever they're calling their replica of Xbox Live. You can't really argue about consoles because, well for one it's useless. It's more of what people like in the systems, and the games. Being more of a shooter fan and a huge Halo fan I got 360 for that and all the "launch titles" that aren't coming out for another year and a half. I'm willing to give it time just for H3.

I'll pick up a PS3 when the price drops, which is inevitable. 600 dollars is pretty steep, even though it does have true next generation features.

TGB! 07-18-2006 03:37 PM

Gamecrazy I believe is out of Pre-Orders. Gamestop/EB arent taking orders. So - camp out at BB/Target/EB/GS - maybe Ill split up our forces. . .

LOL you wouldn't believe how gay it can get. My sister is a manager at Circuit City and she opened up on the morning the 360 came out. The parking lot was full the night before, and when she got there that morning (aboiut an hour and a half before the store opened), she set up a line, and started handing out numbers (they didn't take preorders). Their store only got about 20 units (WTF), and the guy who got card # 21 was extremely pissed when the last one was sold right before him. He happened to be one of the first people to get there the night before (at about 8:00), but didn't bother to get in the line when she set it up.

He demanded to get a 360, even though he couldn't follow the rules and get his ass in line. He started cussing out my sister. These things don't affect her at all, and she's like, "Well you didn't get in line even after I taped up a bulletin explaning what would happen. I'm sorry."

I agree, any console has shit on launch day usually. I mean GRAW, Splinter Cell Double agent, Halo 3, Madden 07, NCAA 07, Gears of War. Those are just a few games i want by this years end. I already have GRAW which is fun as shit, especially on live.

Probably gonna be yet another sony launch where they (intentionally) bullshit about a low amount of units to spark the usual buying craze, then the ones who do get one early will have to return it because of yet another faulty optical drive (sonys trademark). sleeping:

same

Miscguy 07-18-2006 10:31 PM

I wouldnt bother camping for it. I mean up here (washington) we had people camping out 3 - 4 days before the 360 release. Bill Gates even handed the first one out at the best buy near my house and the guy at the front of that line was there like 4 - 5 days.

I figure theres nothing you can do with a game unit on release day that i cant do a month or two later. Also im not going to pay that much for a console.

Jonsey_ 07-19-2006 09:13 PM

If you like blue ray and HD it is definately work it considering the cheapest player is around 1000$ and it also plays games and such I may camp out for one and put it on ebay right away, double the price atleast rock:

[DAS REICH] Blitz 07-19-2006 09:48 PM
