GameStop confirms PS3 Pre-order date

[thatmariolover]

I'll check when I get to work today (Gamestop). I assume we will have just gotten a memo from corporate and it'll be waiting on our email system. I had the weekend off so I'm honestly not sure.

However, Gamestop has stated time and time again that we won't take preorders until we have an MSRP and estimated release date - especially for systems. So unless Sony plans on announcing both the release date and MSRP on March 1st - preorders are not going to happen.

For that reason I find it unlikely the guy you talked to knows anything. Sony might be planning to release the information - but there's no reason to tell us about it until the day of the press release.
