DragonSlayer1500 Posted November 5, 2006 Posted November 5, 2006 Has anyone called around your local stores to find out how many Playstation 3's they're getting? I've tried numerous stores here in Kokomo, Indiana and everyone is saying they don't know but are expecting around 3. If anyone's got any more information from your local stores, care to fill us in and let us know what city you're from to maybe give us some population comparisons to see where we stand?
BunniesBunniesBunnies! Posted November 5, 2006 Posted November 5, 2006 It's gonna be low. My Toys R Us only got 5 in. Best Buy supposidly getting less than 15, and Walmart around 10.
raymacfla Posted November 5, 2006 Posted November 5, 2006 You may want to hold off on the PS3 right now. Early reports have them overheating. This is a serious issue, unlike the XBOX issue from last year, which had to deal with those units that were kept in pooly ventilated places. Reps from EB games are anticipating quite a few returns, and will be directing customers to deal with Sony directly on this one. On a brighter note, the WII console looks to be a real winner:yup:

I've been calling around the Detroit area and most stores aren't getting them, and the few that are probably won't have too many to go around. If a store is suppose to get 10, how many of them do you think are truly going to hit the shelves if the employees can get them and re-sell on ebay.............

(and empolyees can not resale it *like how are they going to find out)
stiltman Posted November 5, 2006 Posted November 5, 2006 O.K. this is the info i got at my BB today 24 units and that BB has gotten 25% of the 400,000 so BB's will get 100,000. Now in my book i don't think they will have 24 but more like 12 . IMO

I couldn't believe it, but that sounds like what happened according to this thread. http://forums.gottadeal.com/showthread.php?t=29399&goto=newpost
mojaxs34 Posted November 6, 2006 Posted November 6, 2006 who ever said that the ps3 is over heating has not done the homework, first all the gaming magazines that have these ps3 for review have not reported any overheating. in fact they state how amazing cool the systems stays. and if you want to read some reviews you can go onto www.ign.com to read reviews of the PS3.
leefamily23 Posted November 7, 2006 Posted November 7, 2006 OKay-- a few questions-- what stores did not do pre-orders?? Meaning where might it pay off to go wait in line. Did Walmart do preorders? And will they release it at midnight?
Cru Posted November 8, 2006 Posted November 8, 2006 This is the official PS3 thread and you'll see all the talk about this crazy system!http://forums.gottadeal.com/showthread.php?t=29399
USC Becca Posted November 11, 2006 Posted November 11, 2006 Please keep all PS3 discussion in the thread we already have going here. Please also be sure to notice, and heed, our warning about not posting about reselling.
