Pre-order PS3?

I already have a PS3 pre-ordered at Toys ‘R’ Us, but even the store told me that sometimes they don’t get their stuff in until a week after the launch. So I want to hedge my bets a little and pre-order a PS3 somewhere else, but I can’t find a place to do that.

I just called the Sony Store. Previously they told me they would be taking pre-orders, but that they just haven’t started yet. Now I talk to someone from the store, and he said that I can get a pre-order on November 17th. Uh… okay. That’s launch day! It would just be an order then, forget the “pre-”.

I called up EBGames, and he said that they don’t have any information yet. I called up Zellers (where I actually found my PS2!) and they didn’t answer the phone. How’s that for rejection!

Has anybody successfully pre-ordered a PS3 in Canada at a place other than Toys ‘R’ Us ?

Are you not willing to order online?

I don’t think I’d get it on launch day in that case.

Well at least you’re in a position to actually pre-order it or at least try & pre-order it.

Lots of saving.

And I’m not buying a house, like you are Gary.

I meant the fact that we won’t get it until March at the earliest while you guys are getting it in 2 months time.

I dont get it…

In Germany we got to preorder in June and we still can preorder at many many shops… Karstadt, EBGames, Amazon… the list is endless!!

Why cant they get it right in the US?

How did you pre-ordered at Toys ‘R’ Us ? I would like to do the same even if I have to wait one week
Thank you

It was only Canadian Toys ‘R’ Us stores that were doing the preorder, and it was a limited time offer. They are no longer taking any more preorders.

Pc : @Blackstaffer and anybody else who wants to know....I have those trigger attachments for both of my controllers and they work great! It feels weird playing without them now.
Trev : can't say my fingers have ever slipped off the shoulder buttons but i have read about people liking them.
Emrah : Another Sony screw-up. With the new interface, you cannot create a sub-account for people over 18. This is stupid. In the license agreement, it says you can, but sub-account choices are not displayed at all if you pick an over 18 age. Please advise..
Tosh Hatch : I would like to get some myself.
Tosh Hatch : I've heard they are really good actually.
Blackstaffer : Does anybody use these trigger thingys? Are they good? «link»
Tosh Hatch : You just beat the single player campaign. And FYI they are working on more DLC already for the game.

Trev : can't wait for WaW. its in the post on the way to me as i speak.
Tosh Hatch : Feb 09 is a long wait. I'm not sure LBP can keep me entertained until then or not, lol.
Burten : Hang on, Blackie, its just a couple of hours. I´m waiting for KZ2, and thats not out before feb 09 .. Now that is a loong wait
Blackstaffer : I has CoD:WaW! But I'm at work and can't play it until tonight when the children are in bed!

Burten : Tosh : Check your PSN messages
Blackstaffer : Don't forget that if you're looking for friends to add your list, there's a bunch of people here: «link»

Tosh Hatch : @ Burten - I haven't heard of a public Killzone 2 Beta yet .. I hope they do one soon
Rjcc : same here, I'm glad for a demo so I cna give it a try, cuz I didn't like the previous mgs games, so I wouldn't just buy right off
Glitch : As strange as it might seem, MGS4 isn't that high on my list at the moment. I'm downloading the demo as we type, but I'm not sure if I want to play it. Because I will play the whole game at some point and don't really want to ruin any surprises.
Burten : in that case, start downloading, dude! (or just buy the game, it IS really good)
Glitch : Not for me, since I actually haven't played MGS4 yet.
Burten : @ Tosh : Aint the Killzone beta going public these days..? Have a look around. But for the MGS demo.. Isn´t that kinda few months late?
Glitch : The Metal Gear Solid demo is on the European store as well. So you can get it there.
Rjcc : is the mgs4 demo on the japan store in english at all? I'd like to try it out
Tosh Hatch : I would love to get into the Killzone2 beta!
