Thoughts on ebaying/reselling ps3's

[dc_publius]

Any idea what time Gamesops/EBs open? I'm calling all the numbers in my area, but apparently none of them have voicemail.

I believe 9am. Maybe 10am. Maybe 8am. But what's the point of opening at 8am when no gamer wakes up before 12pm... [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

Yeah, that's what I was thinking. (It's 10:03am right now, but the locations I'm calling are still not open).

Both Nyc locations I called are sold out of the pre-orders as of 10:05am

[censored]; they told me last week they wouldn't pre-sell them

and i didn't see this post that they'd come on today until just now, so it's too late

Trip report:
I called EBGames at 1015. The manager said he still has a few systems, but expects to be sold out within the hour. I haul ass to the store.

I get to the store at 1030 and there is no line. I thought it was too late, but I got there in time afterall. I placed my preorder and I'm ready to go. As my order is being filled, the phone rings off the hook constantly with everyone asking about PS3. The manager says that they got the memmo about opening preorders yesterday night and there were 9 people already waiting before the store opened.

I thought about stopping by at 2 malls to see if I can score some more, but I think it's a lost cause. If the out of the way location sells out by 1030, the mall EB Games preorders will be sold out for sure.

Big kudos to crestedbutte for letting us here at 2+2 know about this!

Worthless, apparently.

Offtopic:

a gamestop i called said tomorrow for the Wii

i'm gonna pre-order one of those, but for myself, not for re-sale

How do you even pronouncde Wii? I don't want to sound stupid ordering it. One of the comments on the gaming site linked above says about Wii: "Regarding Wii reserves: My manager said "as early as this week"."
