Here are the details:

I got this from the IGN forums.. I know, I know but better safe than sorry.

I know there's another thread saying 10/10 will be the reserve date, but I'm literally at work with my laptop with me, and I see nothing of the sort (no email), and most DM's are on conference calls in the morning, so I don't know where that info came from. So to reiterate, there's NO concrete info yet.

I know some of you are waiting for me to let you know the scoop, so if I find anything out today (I have my call at 3:30 PST), I'll post it instantly, so you'll all have the scoop.

And yes, I have my laptop at work.

ALL FOR YOUR BENEFIT! grin (Yea.. I'm excited about the info too....just want to share.)

99% Confirmed.

Reserves start tomorrow 10/10. $100 down.

Just need to go an my call for 100% confirmation, but I got this info from a "reliable source". Trust me.

Get your trades and $$$ ready! It's gonna be a hell of a morning.

Also, there is NOT A LOT to go around. Can't give specifics, but trust me.

EDIT: It IS happening people. Heaps of folks nationwide has confirmed it (both Gamestop and EB). Pre-order numbers are low however so you would probably want to come early. 100$, Tuesday October 10th.
 
Damn you guys close this thread. Can't let too many people find out. CLOSE IT!

haha tell me about it, i broke the news over at avs forums. within 1 hour it was on every forum out there lol. hopefully no local kids try to take my spot.
 
So I decided to run up to our three EB's / Gamestops to give some pictures..well I was surpised. Heres a main intersection right before the main road to the stores:

Looks like two idiots hit each other.

After waiting for about 10 minutes I got bored so I got on the highway...big mistake. My vehicle freaking destroyed itself trying to get up to speed. Maybe I should be investing in a new vehicle instead of a PS3....Nah

I finally made it up, but my vehicle is trashed. Anyway heres EB, coast is clear.

There was a security guard there discussing things, and as I was driving up to them they started looking at me so I just kept driving instead of stopping for a pic. I really didnt want to get stopped as I have work in 3 hours. Now GG, Im heading to sleep. It appears Pennsylvania hasnt heard of this news, or all the people who camped out for a 360 learned their lesson.
 
interesting story, sorry to hear about what happened to your car in the process.
anyways, good luck to those preordering tommorrow.
 
Where is the best place to pre-order? i.e. I don't want to be behind some guy who put his name down in Spring of 2005 ;) I want to secure a top spot so I can walk in on launch day and be guaranteed to get one (if I am high enough on the list).

Any suggestions?
 
Kewl.
I'll just have to wake up really really early and I'm hoping there won't be any lines.
I'm gonna try to call my friend too (he's opening), If he could cancel some of my pre-orders and have me pre-order it... just in case if the line is already long when I get there.
 
In belgium it started already end of august :devilish:

if it wasnt for that march release :cry:


anyway, i reserved 3 ps3's for next year.. EBAY HERE I COME :devilish:
 
My EB is right down the street so I'll begin driving by every 30 minutes starting around 7AM to check for lines. If I see people I'll get in line, otherwise I'll come back home.
 
I'll probably leave aroun 9am, I honestly dont see people camping out for some preorders, atleast in my area anyways. I'm not trying to sit in the car for hours, but I will go before the store opens, just in case. Bringing the psp to make sure I have something to do :LOL:.
