FYI, go to Gamestop or EBGames in the AM, make $2000

Is there going to be much of a demand for these things. Someone pointed out there will be way more available than the PS3's.

Think we could still triple up on Ebay for one of these syestems?

Yes the demand is high, however their are a TON more Wii's available..

PS3 pre-orders per store were 5-16..

Wii's pre-orders per store are 30-40..

Remember though kids will want this to - so better to be safe then sorry if you want this before XMAS - go and try to pre-order tommorow.

LOL UT! I have to go get mine :p

My advice - if you can arrive 1-2 hours before your store opens.. also check around and see how many EB's/Gamestops are around you.

How many people were camping for the PS3?

My store only had 8 people 1hr before open.

I think it is like a guarantee to make at least a bill if you wanted to sell your preorder tommorow.

But more if you wait longer.

I posted that link, it says you will be notified when pre sales begin, I don't know if you have to wait in line or not....

Interesting links about the PS3 launch:

If you guys check the ebay auctions that ended thus far for those crazy ps3 prices, they have winners with 0 feedback and names such as ps3suxcks. Its obviously just some losers trying to cause problems. Either way I cant see these things not going for at least 1200 come x-mas time.

well, honestly I disagree with you for these reasons-
(1) Nintendo's name. Despite the fact that Sony and Microsoft have grabbed a chunk of Nintendo's former market share, they are still a force to be reckoned with.

(2) The Wii's price point. The $250 console coupled with the aforementioned "security blanket" the Nintendo name offers is a win-win situation. The PS3 is overpriced and will be unavailable; the 360 will dilute possible PS3 sales because it's cheaper and also has name recognition.

(3) Game library and innovations. Display units will showcase the incredible step forward the Wiimote can be...and will snag tons of new sales. Sony simply mimicked Nintendo's creativity and innovation.

not many people over age 13 really intrested in wilmote..i just think their will be enough supply for the demand,and their will be no reason to pay over sticker price.
