No PS3 Preorders?

I was at my local EB Games yesterday picking up my copy of Brain Age and decided to ask about pre-ordering a Playstation 3. Knowing that Sony only plans to ship 1 million worldwide at launch, I figured I'd better smack the beans down now rather than later. I wanted to avoid a 360 fiasco at all costs. Unfortunately... so did EB Games.

You see, EB smartened up. At my local store they took over 140 preorders for the 360. It took 4 months to fill all those preorders. After they were told by corporate to expect no more than 3-5 Sony PS3's on launch day, they decided to not do a preorder program for the Playstation 3. From what I understand, this is an EB Games/Gamestop corporate policy. I'm curious to hear if anybody does have a preorder in anywhere, and if so where? From the looks of it already, the PS3 is going to be even harder to obtain at launch than the XBox 360. Who knows though, a lot can happen in 6 months.

Wo er recht hat, ich bin aufjedenfall gespannt, den die ersten Tage vom 360 Launch waren das Grauen, ich hatte mei Premium Pack zum Glück am 2 Dezember bekommen (und seitdem hält sie auch, kein "Ring of Death" oder sonstige Mucken, was ja eine große Ausnahme ist, bin gespannt ob die PS3 auch so oft kaputt gehen wirdt ~~), aber es gab unzählige die erst eine Woche drauf und später das Glück hatten... ~~
