Yeah...Im doing the same thing. If I dont get the CC in time though I am going to return it and rebuy it if I can.

The funniest part about this though is I already jumped on the previous deal for the 40g...so now I have to return that one for a refund of $299.99 + tax. Gonna be a busy night Wednesday night!

If you still have the unused GC, you can ask for a full refund (instead of the $299.99 + tax).

Nope...I got the online deal and then bought an instore giftcard with the online giftcard. It's ok though...we buy our groceries there so it wont make a difference.

The best and accurate way to find out is to call Sony cc directly and ask if you are eligible for the $100 credits.

The 80GB plays PS2 games, and the 40GB does not.

Is there a technical improvement in the MGS4 sku? I'm a gamer, but I was seriously only buying this for the BluRay, there's not many games I can see playing on PS3 when I already own Wii and 360. Thoughts?

The main appeal of the MGS4 bundle is you get MGS4, the rumble dual shock controller and the 80gb ps3. The 80gb version lets you play ps2 games. The 40gb does not.

Yep, I just read that the backwards compatibility was restored with the 80gb. I dont care much for stealth action, so I'll probably sell MGS4, but backwards compatibility is important. I guess I'll have to camp out for the MGS4 pack...

Jesteraron said:Any thoughts guys on how things like this work with WalMart? Do they start selling them at 12:00am on the 12th? Do you just show up early and wait? Maybe I should talk with the manager at my local 24 hour WalMart and find out.

Also can anyone tell me how long it takes to get the Sony CC? I just signed up for one and it said 2 weeks and I am hoping it might be a little faster.

I wonder if I could get the bundle and then return it and rebuy it if I dont get my credit card in time.

If you got approved, most of them will get an instant cc number and other details. Not sure why you did not get one. Maybe they are trying to limit people to get on the PS3 deals.

Anyone know if Amazon will PM this type of GC promotion? I'd really like to avoid the $40 sales tax in CA.

Also, if in the future we can save a game to the console, 40G owner will screw up because some games might be as big as 50G according to Sony

I just called Wal-Mart by me and they are not opening at Midnight for this and our Walmarts aren't 24hrs. If you camp out, you're in for a long night until 7am opening. I'll probably just go in the morning and get it. I'm not staying out all night, I did it for Wii... I'm getting too old for this sh*t.
