GameSpot:Video Games PC PlayStation 2 Xbox 360 Wii PS3 GameCube PSP DS GBA PS2 PlayStation 3
GameStop details PS3 preorders In-store program starts Tuesday morning; $100 deposit required, most stores expecting only eight systems. By Brendan Sinclair, GameSpot Posted Oct 9, 2006 5:05 pm PT GameStop has unveiled its in-store PlayStation 3 preorder campaign to GameSpot, and the retail chain looks to be bracing for a shortage of systems at launch day. Starting Tuesday morning, GameStop and EB Games stores will begin accepting "limited" preorders for the system with a $100 deposit. The preorders are "limited" in that very few will be received, and customers will not be guaranteed a PS3 on its November 17 US launch day. "Most stores will receive a preorder allocation of eight units, while a few select stores will receive 16," a GameStop official said. "In either case, employee purchases will be restricted to a total of no more than two systems per store." As for how the $100 can be paid, the company will accept cash, credit, or trade-in. Last month, the company conducted a test-run of preorders for the Wii and the PS3 at its Hawaii stores. In that one-day campaign, the company required that customers pay for the systems' $50 deposit with trade-in credit. Reservations for the retailer's in-store program will be limited to one per household. The company's online preorder program will be revealed at a later date, "after software and accessory availability dates are confirmed." That's much worse than Xbox360 preorders last year. |

![]() 3 months? BING! Wrong! The second "launch" was in december so that was only the next month before Christmas. Research the history, dude. You just hate Xbox360 and is retired from it cause your Xbox360 kept breaking down on you and I just keep thinking that you did something wrong with it but I dont know what. Most of the systems were broken down by the owners. not by the system itself. They don't break down by themselves, ya know. |

I'm think that Sony is try encourage people to buy HDTV as hope they get fancy experience to play their PS3 with wonderful blu-ray.
I bet that's Sony's mastermind plan to make sure everybody dump their standard tv over HDTV. When you buy HDTV, you would say good bye your bank and girlfriend on dating? D: |

Okay, guys, if any of you are planning to get a PS3 at launch, this is important.
I was reading the new EGM that I recently got in the mail. so listen to this. PLAYSTATION 3's Last Gen Lesson PS2 launch: October 26, 2000 number of games at launch: 29 (yes, 29.) Average score by EGM: 7.1 out of 10 Good: PS2 launched with a whopping of 29 games at launch. Bad: The PS2's launch was mostly filled with rushed out rubbish. Why the PS3 would kick ass: If Sony can manage to muster up as many games for the PS3 launch as it did for the PS2, it could at least give reluctant gamers a choice between the two next gen power houses. Plus, sweet looking exclusives like Resistance and Motor Storm are the kind of games that would make Xbox360 and Wii owners alittle jealous...(for me I dont give a crap about Resistance or Motor Storm) But even if the games dont manage to impress, the packed in blu-ray player will at least make next gen dvds look $600 good. Why the PS3 would suck balls: Shortages. Very limited. Europe launch delayed 'til March 2007. definetly not a good sign for Sony. Only 400,000 units and that is 100,000 less than the PS2's launch. Most of the PS3 launch titles would also go to Xbox360 so it's not like you would be missing out much if you already own an Xbox360. (I told you so.) Most anticapted PS3 title: Resistance : Fall of Man Less anticapted PS3 title: Need for Speed : Carbon (already coming to Xbox360 as well) So...what's a good reason to buy a PS3, really? I dont see any at all. |

Betcha y'all that a good number of the "first shipment" PS3's will not be very reliable. Sony ain't exactly rthe beacon of reliablity. (That's for Nintendo heh) I think Microsoft has a nice system and it has games coming out that keep getting better and better(and i haven't even gotten myself hooked up on XBOX live yet). About the PS3, I think MGS4 will be one of(if not the first)the first PS3 system-selling games. If the PS3 is not accesible to the consumer at the time of MGS4, that won't be good for Sony.

MS and Nintendo's pissed off at Sony's lies.
Sony claims Xbox 360 requires HD DVD, etc., thus costs $700 - Engadget |

You don't realize about Sony but... Sony is right about Wii because Wii's cost is $250, that what Sony stated about correct prices for Wii and Nintendo announced about Wii will offers free browser for 6 month. You know better that Sony is just stated about lower-end 360 and PS3 with online gaming support, and many gamers are interesting with wireless controller. I'm laughing at you because you aren't interesting in online gaming then too chick to get it.

If ppl really thinks that Wii is still overpriced, then they need to lay off whatever they were smoking and I still dont care for online gaming...but as for Wii having wi-fi connection and that is free...and have classic games downloads, etc...that is much better than Xbox live.

Thanks to USA and Canada for not messed up on our system, and PSP isn't my type until Sony need redesign to reduce our hand strained and remove the small analog stick, and small analog stick is our major problem but most of PSP are good.

For issues with life batteries for PSP but special thanks to Datel for made own batteries that can support up to 10 hours and cheaper than Sony's batteries. Buy MAX Power (Sony PSP) In Stock You wouldn't surprised that PSP is doing well as Nintendo DS does. PSP: 20.02 million units shipped (updated on July 2006) DS: 26 million units shipped (Included with DS Lite, updated on August 2006) There's many children own DS, that why about sold is higher than PSP does, and more affordable but need pay extra for third party media player (such as Datel). You said PSP don't have good games but depends on gamer's personal because can be different, and there's some good games that I want play, such as Ace Combat X, Gun Showdown, Killzone: Liberation, Tekken: Dark Resurrection, Valkyrie Profile: Lenneth, LocoRoco, GTA series, Daxter, Dynasty Warriors, Ape Escape: On the Loose, Ape Escape Academy, SOCOM, Street Fighter Alpha 3 Max and other games. I'm really don't care about movies then that right but I prefer to download video from Limeware then transfer to memory stick (4GB is recommended but $100-$150) and PSP support gif. that can download animation. I don't have any concern about PSP but analog stick is my major problem that need to redesign to reduce the hand strained and I will buy one after redesign and different colors. If you have any problem then write an note to Sony Headquarter. Sony Headquarter 550 Madison Avenue New York, NY 10022

Sony got wish came true. Lik-Sang.com is out of business, thanks to heavy lawsuits. Europe wont get their PS3 consoles until March next year...
I wont buy PS3 or any products from Sony after all they screw all businesses. IGN: Importer Lik-Sang Licked Important Notice: Lik-Sang.com Out of Business due to Multiple Sony Lawsuits Noted customers' reaction posts below the Lik-Sang news. One question: Will Sony lawsuits and Lik-Sang.com closure affect the PS3's sales?

No, Sony didn't sell their product to Lik. Someone who works for lik bought sony's product and sold those to lik. thats' why sony cant stop it. So they decided to sue them.

I am glad for PS3 and Wii will be allowing an analog television, standard TV, and EDTV owners will buying for PS3 is nearly pefectly, and also will be perfectly for Wii Console. However, unfortunately: it is been expensive for me on
PS3 so I cannot afford for this. But I am very happy because Nintendo is the best pricing affordable gaming for me. I am very pleased with Nintendo Ltd., I am Nintendo Fan since my age of 6 when my birthday is started, my parents bought it for me. I love to playing video games by Nintendo because I grew up with my classic video game of the moments. I love Mario, I love Zelda, I love Kirby, too! I like Metroid, I like Mario Kart, and other of them are from Nintendo. I want to share with them of all: I never played "Chrono Trigger", this game that I missed out, geez, because I owned Sega Genesis from 1995 to 1997 because it was been this while I really need a "Sega Channel" did keep prevent me from playing Super Nintendo then I was missing out on this best RPG of the all-time is CT. Sega is betrayed me from playing games "Chrono Trigger" "Kirby Super Star". I am looking forward for Virtual Console on Wii. I would be glad if it has "Kirby Super Star" through by downloadable through Virtual Console, I will not missed out since playing at Virtual Console. I am very afraid that I don't think Chrono Trigger would be... (bit anxious/embrassed) downloadable on VC (Virtual Console). I wish it should be true, but it possibly won't happen, but I will wait and see if it comes or not for Virtual Console for this game. (groans while as frustrating) Oh, man! Geez, oh well! Although however for Kirby Super Star SNES Classic will be available through by VC for Wii! Yay! Hurray! ![]() Anyways, I am feel sad about Lik-sang will be gone. Because Sony killed it! Sad news for world of video gaming, also for communities that who are interested in them.
