I'm going to get there early on Thrusday morning. I called around and pretty much a lot of stores (i.e. Target, BestBuy, Circuit City....etc)will have units for purchase. I'm going to call on Tuesday and/or Wednesday to make sure. I'm going to buy 2 of those suckers, my brother is going to meet up with me on Thursday.

Hey *****, are you going to get one?

each EB games is only getting 20 units along with each toys R us. You can assume than that Best buy will have 20 units only, unless they havea bigger allocation and if they do thats not many units more.

So you better hope your among the first 20 in line

i would get it just to sell it. if the shelfs have alot of them people would not pay more for it. they would pay normal. but for the people that are buying it just for themselves thats hardcore gamer.

Its like that hot chick that sat in front of you in high school who was rumored to be an easy score.
Every guy will eventually get to her...but the important thing is who gets to her FIRST.

That Burbank link is depresing though...

Yeah that's sad!! Poor guys have no lives. I seriously hope that I could get atleast 1 of these consoles. I'm only doing this for the money that's involved. Has anybody gone to eBay and typed in PS3?? People are going nutts to get their hands on this unit. To me it's a way to come up on some heavy $$$.

Circuit City's Torrance store in Hawthorne will have 100 ps3's according to their site. If you get there early and camp out it's probably your best shot.

Man, my last post was full of uncomplete sentences.
I don't know how many they'll have. I'm guessing 50/50-70/30 in favor of the 60gb. When the xbox360s first came out, my store got 11 premiums/8 cores but I have no idea how they allocate it. CC doesn't give dibs to employees either.
