PS3 Pre-Orders Came and Went

Warlock7 writes "Well, it's official. The pre-orders have begun ... and mostly ended. I just got mine ordered and four hours later there are already units on eBay. Some acutions have already gone north of $1000 USD. The guys at EBGames told me that the most units going to any one store was 36 and that there were an average of 8 units being distributed to each store. The one I went to reported that they were going to be getting a total of 16 units. They waited this long to take pre-orders because they wanted to be sure that they weren't going to get burned like they did for the XBox 360 launch." The reports from across the internets are varied, with long lines netting nothing for some, and others reaping the sweet rewards.

So if EB says preorders for Wii next week

[WillAffleckUW]

then why were all the n00bz camped out for the PS3 this week?

Are they buying a PS3, reselling it for profit, and using the cash to pick up a Wii with a killer load of titles?

Or don't they know the OS still has bugs in it, according to the latest slashdot news?

So get one here

Mine is available to you all.

Re:Rewards?

Sure.

Unless, that is the kids are wanting to play it in a room with sunlight, or fluorescent or halogen lighting.

Or they want to play any decent game other than Zelda's Revenge XXVI for that matter.
