| Well, to be fair I'm sure that schedule strength comes into question. I mean, if I load up on weak non-conference opponents, I probably won't be in the final if we go 12-0. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

...Sadly, given the fact that it's BRITNEY F'N SPEARS, I could take either of those two explanations as the truth.. |

Well, most people already have all the roms they need, so if that's the avenue you're going down... back them up. |

That Kotaku article was excellent.

I'm more interested to see how sales go in Japan over the next few weeks... or if the DS outsold the PS3 this week. (restricted) |

Boston College/Maryland is a pretty big game too next week. Winner stays in the hunt for the ACC title game, loser might be heading for the... um... Champs Sports Bowl? |

DS shipments have been extremely steady in Japan and it's not uncommon for the system to sell 100,000 units in a given week.
|
If the DS decides to have one of those weeks, Sony will have some egg on their face. (restricted) |

Well, how else can you explain the fact that he had the time to post that many times in Big Topics? |

Given how a LOT of people are going to be doing that... |
(And people WILL be willing to pay high prices, sadly. Just you watch.)
Tell your friend that you'll do it but ONLY if you get a cut of that profit. I don't think it's unreasonable for you to get compensated if you agree to do that for him, given the fact that he's being greedy in the first place.

GameStop not getting enough PS3s to fill preorders Retailer's launch allocations not expected to cover original batch of reservations; employees "asked" to wait until second shipment to buy systems. By Brendan Sinclair, GameSpot Posted Nov 13, 2006 3:28 pm ET Last month, retailer GameStop began accepting "limited" preorders for the PlayStation 3, asking customers to put down $100 in advance for the system, with a modest expectation of eight units per store in most cases. Now it appears the largest gaming specialty chain in North America won't be receiving even that many systems. A GameStop representative told GameSpot today that the company received launch allocation numbers from Sony, and that it won't be able to fill its existing PS3 preorders. The representative declined to comment on how many systems GameStop expected to receive, or how short of that figure the company's share of systems would be. "We are beginning to notify our customers that our initial shipment of PS3 systems will not be what we expected," the representative said. "As this is not an ideal situation, we are asking employees to wait to purchase systems until the second shipment. We are anticipating having systems to cover reservations before Christmas." For launch day, preorders will be filled in the order they were received, and those who had a preorder but are denied a system on day one will receive something for their troubles. GameStop will give those unfortunate customers (as well as unfortunate employees) a free used game or DVD valued at $19.99 or less when they eventually wind up purchasing the system. Those who reserved a system won't need to wait long to find out if they can expect a system on launch day. Starting tomorrow, customers who preordered a PS3 will be contacted personally by phone and updated on the status of their reservation, the rep said. And while it might be a nonissue considering the clamor for consumers to get their hands on the coveted systems, GameStop is also asking anyone with a confirmed preorder to pick their systems up by Saturday evening. This is absolutely ridiculous. Sony drops the shipment number to 400,000 and then can't even fill that?!? You absolutely can't blame GameStop given the fact they were already conservative with their pre-orders, but this is on track to be the most disastrous launch ever. EDIT: Kotaku apparently said that the GS shipments were cut in HALF. So if a store was receiving 8 units, they're only getting 4. (edited by Colin on 11-13-06 05:55 PM)

I can't wait to hit the eBay listings on Friday night... heck, even some people who are TRYING to be reasonable by putting a PS3 up at $750 will be stunned to see what they get for it. |

Too many conflicting reports, actually... but we'll find out for sure tomorrow when people get phone calls saying their system isn't coming in. And if someone was #5/6 in a store scheduled to get 8 units and they get that message, well... :\ |
