I don't think its going to be as hard to find a ps3 as it was for xbox360, there has been way less publicity, and stores seem to be getting more of them in.

think again

when toys r us had its pre order there were people that waited 24+ hours just for a pre-ORDER same with the eb games pre orders

on top of that there are way less ps3s to go around then any other big release game console. every store is getting less then half the # of ps3 that they did of the ps2s on its release

not to mention that playstation will not have anymore units till AFTER the end of the year

getting a ps3 will be like finding a gold nugget in the river

im planning to get one and sell it right away, but i heard that you HAVE to reserve one already, or even you wait in line they still wouldnt sell it to you, is that correct? im planning just camp out at the store and get it ASAP, is that possible?

im down for a camp out on the 16th night at best buy around 5 or asap. should be able to sell it for atleast $1000 the next day. as long as dont need to reserve it.

one of my friend worked at game stop, and she told me that even you reserve the thing but that dont guarantee that you will get one, and thats what happened to xbox360.

anyone else is going to camp out?
