wii or xbox360 is going to be the big alternative when christmas comes along.

sony plan backfiring? probably.

Don't tell me they didn't plan of doing shortages. They do this EVERY time.

I'll be nabbing one of our employee preorders they allocated to us as soon as we're open. Most of the Gamestops have 8-16 available to customers and 4-6 available to employees (completely depending on the size of the individual store).

hmmm... went by, just as many people were lined up as with the PS3.

"sold out" preorders before the store opened.

This might be a huge Christmas!!!

Wii's not being preordered until Monday here in Canada. This sucks balls. And, they're only getting 20 - people are already planning to camp out for it. Sigh.

There's really no need for preodering if you're just willing to wait it out in a line for the opening of the store on release day (which in my opinion is spirited and fun). I got a Gamecube with no problem. Waited a few hours but Target handled the whole thing really well. They had the Gamecubes and accompanying supplies all near the Customer Service/Return area near the entrance of the store. Easy in. Easy out.

I wonder how many people are going to offer butt sex to get a new console this Christmas. For the 360 there was like 4, I think? I shall keep track and compare the numbers later.
