oh noes: gamestop can't fill PS3 pre-orders

"We are beginning to notify our customers that our initial shipment of PS3 systems will not be what we expected," the representative said. "As this is not an ideal situation, we are asking employees to wait to purchase systems until the second shipment. We are anticipating having systems to cover reservations before Christmas."

For launch day, preorders will be filled in the order they were received, and those who had a preorder but are denied a system on day one will receive something for their troubles. GameStop will give those unfortunate customers (as well as unfortunate employees) a free used game or DVD valued at $19.99 or less when they eventually wind up purchasing the system.

Gamestop screwing over poeple who preordered systems 2 years in a row!!!!!!!1

Sony's makes the best portable CD players, and at a point in time they made decent cheap headphones. Other than that, I don't really purchase Sony products. I was pretty upset when I heard about the rootkit thing, however. It's moves like that that really help defend the downloader. I understand the need to push copyright protection, but what Sony did was sneaky, uncalled for, and I think Sony should have known they were going to get caught. Windows isn't that poor an operating system. At any rate, not much you can do, Sony are too powerful to crush. Maybe the PS3 will flop. Maybe blu-ray will crash and burn.

Not that I don't hate GameStop, cause I do, I worked at one for a long time and there's a lot more to hate than most people realize. But, Sony's the one that can't fill their estimated shipments. Gamestop's gonna take the fall for it because they handled the preorders, but at the end of the day this is nobody but Sony's fault.

In future I forsee Gamestop refusing to offer preorders for a manufacturers system unless they sign a contract with a hefty penalty. This is twice Gamestop got burned in the last two years (but the first time around they were at least warned).

I wonder whats going to happen to all the preorders that people shoved out tons of money on ebay for when the person who preordered finds out they aren't getting one on day one
