hearing reports that fye is taking preorders of ps3.
dont run - Fly - to find out this is true???


alert mods    

just called 2 fye stores closest to me and a no go. YET


alert mods    

if GameStop offers a preorder soon.
are you going to put the full amount down to insure first shippment?
i think i will and also differnet stores. i will probably pick up 2 of them if they are $400 each.


alert mods    

my local EB GAMES store is taking unofficial pre-orders. just taking names down, then when they get a sku they will call you and you can put money down.

dont bother preordering. if you guys learned anything from the xbox preorder even if you put ur name down u arent guaranteed one at launch. And besides i doubt there will be a shortage when its released in the summer, its like 5 or 6 months away form the holidays as opposed to the 360

having it be released in the summer is not really a valid arguement. there will be more kids available to stand in lines with nothing better to do (kids in high school, college kids, etc). also they will probably have summer jobs which will give them extra money which makes it even more likely that they will be buying one. holiday does not really play that much of a factor when it comes to a new console launch, it is the heightened excitement which comes from years of hype and event footage.

i do agree that putting your name down at a local retailer is a waste of time.

there is a small discussion here talking about pre-order tactics and i've commented on past ps2 launch versus xbox360. i also suspect the ps3 launch will have enough units avilable. especially after their recent DRM rootkit scandal, they will most likely want to satisfy customers.

It seemed with the Xbox360 launch that if you went to EBgames, etc. and put down more than just the deposit and you were one of the early people on the list, you got a console. As long as you keep up with the Playstation 3 forums and go in the moment they become available for presale, you should be able to get a PS3, right?


Also, I stopped in at a GameStop in Houston last week and asked when pre-orders would start up. He said check back next May after E3 for the official date...that seems like an eternity from now. Hopefully, he's very, very wrong.

Next May, he is crazy, try next March.

I wonder if we can use our Sony certificates from AMEX wishlist to preorder a PS3?


alert mods    

I just made a PS3 preorder. I preordered 2 of them. It was hard to find a place that took official preorders but I do have a receipt. The only catch is they will make me buy 3 games, a controller, and a memory card =(.


alert mods

alert mods

we would like to know where you preordered your ps3. so we can beat the rush and ces when all the other stores start to preorder.
also was this a unoffical preorder that some are posting?
(example - wish or waiting list)

Sorry guys, I was away. I preordered from Saturday Matinee in Temecula, CA. They are a Fye's company. Its official, because it scans out, and I got a receipt, which she told me is gold, and don;t ever lose it or leave it in my wallet.

HOPE THIS HELPS

They were there before the PS2 came out. They filled all their preorders for xboxes and PS2's, and 360's when they came out

i was only joking, hence the wink - hard to tell on the net i know. but good to know they have been around, we just don't have them out here in Florida - at least I have not seen one in Central Florida (trying to locate via google now). I'll look into FYE though, maybe they are taking Ps3 pre-orders.

Gotcha. Theres probabaly no need to preorder, I didn't want to take any chances. People think Sony will have enough for everyone.

FYE supposedly has pre-orders at their B&M locations. I think it is $50 deposit to get one.
