He should have preordered.

But then again Ebay has certain parameters in order to auction one off.

Well, it looks like things may get a bit more interesting...


Gamestop Slashes PS3 Stock Counts?
The hugely anticpated console may be even more rare than we thought.
by Micah Seff

November 13, 2006 - While IGN already has dozens of PS3 units littering the hallways of our offices, most gamers out there are avidly anticipating the much-hyped console's release this Friday. Gamers who pre-ordered the console from Gamestop/EB Games may be in for a big surprise as the November 17 launch date fast approaches.

We have received word that, due to lower than expected product yields, many Gamestop/EB Games stores have been forced to slash their stock counts for the console by as much as half. This may mean that many people who preordered the system will be unable to pick one up this Friday. Apparently, EB Games is selecting pre-order holders based on the pre-order date and phoning them up to inform them of the cancellation of their pre-orders.

Following last year's debacle with the lack of Xbox 360 launch units, EB Games had tried to remain conservative in the number of pre-orders it sold in an effort to avoid just this situation. While this may not exactly spell doom for the future of the new console, it may leave a sour taste in the mouths of gamers across North America as they scramble to find the almost nonexistent PS3 units they so desperately crave. On the bright side, those that do manage to get their hands on the PS3 will be able to jack up the prices even more when they inevitably resell them on Ebay.

$20,000 PS3s, anyone?

I read a similar article about this. They are "asking" the EB Games/Gamestop employees if they can take their PS3 on the second shipment around december. And those who lost their preorder get rewarded with a $19.99 or lower used game or DVD.

I know out at Hastings, we (the employees) can't buy the PS3 or Wii on launch day.


As a matter of fact, the Hastings chain as a whole is only getting 300 consoles. The whole chain. Yes, I'm serious.

As for the Wii, if you get someone to pick it up for you, you can get one. As long as the EMPLOYEE isn't walking out the door with it, it doesn't matter if their parents/spouse/friend/etc. picks it up.

A friend of mine who works at gamestop got royaly screwed out of his pre-order. He got there on his day off or some such and stood in line to pre-order. Well, he was the first one.. so he pre-ordered it like a normal customer and all. Well then they found out they were only getting like 4 (or something like that) in, and for some reason they bumped his pre-order to #8 on the list. He is pissed, and is about ready to quit his job. He already said he's never buying from them again.

CompUSA: Buy 40" HDTV, Reserve A PS3


Fry's Electronics PlayStation 3 Bundle. Cheap at $1079.
Wal-Mart "Customer's Choice" PlayStation 3 Bundle. A steal at $1491.
CompUSA Screwjob PlayStation 3 Bundle? A minimum of $2300. Oh, the pain.
Found via blog Uninnovate (but scooped by the Cheap Ass Gamer forums), the current promotion running at CompUSA demands that, if you want to buy a PS3 from the retailer, you'll need to invest in a Sony branded HDTV, 40-inches or bigger. (I already ordered three.)
Also, according to Uninnovate, should you return the TV you "must also return the PlayStation 3 and pay a 15% restocking fee". I can't imagine anyone having a problem with that. You guys cool? Michael McWhertor
Sony taking Playstation 3 pre-order bundling to new lows at CompUSA [via Gamespot]
Update: Angry reader e-mail after the jump...
I was taken in by CompUSA's "buy a 40" HDTV", get a PS3 Reserve on Sunday. I called back today to find out that my PS3 will be delayed 4-8 weeks, and it would cost me 15% (about 300) to return the TV with restocking fees. If this was a Sony-CompUSA deal, what a joke. I ordered from the Schaumburg, IL store. Thanks for alerting other gamers to this despicable scam.
Ouch! Sorry, Jim! Keep your head up, rest of the console reserving public!

Anyone else check out their local distributors yet?

There was a HUGE line at Best Buy even at 10PM, there were at least 30 people sitting there doing nothing. Funny knowing that only 10 of them will get a PS3

Ahahaha, our Wal-Mart here only got 4, and people have been camping for like 2 days so far.


Can't wait until they see how loaded with bugs the thing is going to be.

I know when my mom got home from Wal-Mart she told me of some poeple camping out there for a Wii

Then I also know that a friend of mine knows that his friend has been camping out at a Super Wal-Mart since Wednesday for a PS3. If he gets it then I'll be playing it tonight. If not then... ah well. It's not my ass out there in the freezing cold looking to fork out 600 bucks for a system that'll probably be plagued with bugs.

PS3 launch sees multiple thefts

Armed men take "at least four" systems from California GameStop; three men held up outside Oregon mall during early morning vigil.
By Brendan Sinclair, GameSpot
Posted Nov 16, 2006 5:59 pm PT

With PlayStation 3 systems fetching thousands of dollars on eBay and gamers across the country lining up to purchase Sony's $500 and $600 consoles, some unscrupulous people are seeing the launch as a quick way to make a buck at someone else's expense.

The Sacremento Bee is reporting that "at least four" PS3 systems were stolen along with several Xbox 360s from an Elk Grove, California, GameStop by a pair of armed men Thursday morning. Elk Grove police responded by notifying local retailers and nearby police departments of the theft, and advising those lining up for the system not to do so alone, and not to bring cash.

Meanwhile, Eugene, Oregon's KMTR News is reporting that three men who had been camped out in front of a Circuit City waiting for the Friday launch of the PlayStation 3 were robbed early Thursday morning.

According to the station's report, the three had left the line temporarily, and were stopped by a pair of masked men as they passed a nearby Target. The two men led the trio behind the store and mugged them. Police used mall surveillance tapes to retrace the robbers' steps after the crime, and were able to recover some stolen goods, including a wallet.

Got 1 this morning. Had to swim through a swamp, run through some horse shit and pass through a sea of diseased stricken humans, but it was well worth it.

LMAO, $500+ for this thing. I dont' think it's worth camping outside of a fucking store just to spend over half a grand for something I MIGHT or MIGHT NOT be able to buy that day. Poor bastards.

Someone got shot and killed here in Connecticut. Already made national headlines.

EDIT: Alright. According to new reports, the victim is alive and well. In the hospital.

Average PS3 is going for $2700 on EBay. I really wish I had bought one to EBay now.

A bunch of stupid emo kids came in to Toys R Us today to pick up their PS3's.

I guess they just turned 18, don't have a job, but their parents are rich.

They said they were just selling them on eBay.

Now here's the question, if your parents are so rich that they just give you money anytime you want. Why waste time camping outside a store to get money that your parents would've given to you anyways?

Oh and I saw some 60GB PS3 go for $19,000 on eBay. I hope it was a non-bidder.
