twinmom Posted November 6, 2006 Share Posted November 6, 2006 I was in a Best Buy store the other day and the salesguy said they were NOT preordering any systems this year. Not sure if that means anything online or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wnielsen1 Posted November 6, 2006 Share Posted November 6, 2006 I was in a Best Buy store the other day and the salesguy said they were NOT preordering any systems this year. Not sure if that means anything online or not.I never believe anything any employee states. You could walk around the store and talk to 5 different employees and get 5 different answers.

BobbyDouglas Posted November 6, 2006 Share Posted November 6, 2006 Anyone have a screenshot of the pre-order page showing that the item was available (with the $599 price)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deelite Posted November 7, 2006 Share Posted November 7, 2006 No he didn't....that is HIS (or whoever post it was) code. If he puts it up there, then anyone can use it! It is one time use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
savaladez Posted November 7, 2006 Share Posted November 7, 2006 I was just teasing him...being ironic... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobbyDouglas Posted November 7, 2006 Share Posted November 7, 2006 I figured they would have been nice enough to honor the first couple hundred or so orders, and gave a coupon to the orders they were unable to fulfill. I had my hopes up on this deal. Still debating if I am going to camp out to get in on the PS3... The $10 coupon is insulting. I'll write a letter over to a couple local news stations and hope they give BB some well deserved bad publicity. No he didn't....that is HIS (or whoever post it was) code. If he puts it up there, then anyone can use it! It is one time use.- Whoa, nothing gets by you, eh? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deelite Posted November 7, 2006 Share Posted November 7, 2006 I was judging them by the avatar and for some reason thought they might be confused kid. DOH! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spunk54 Posted November 7, 2006 Share Posted November 7, 2006 Hey Guys, I was really bummed when i got the email, cause I was really looking forward to getting the PS3 ... i even pre-ordered several games. Since they are not doing pre-orders, does that mean that they will have them in stock on the 17 ? How early do you guys think i should get to the BB store inorder to get one for my son. THANKS , Jeff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
