Since the PS3 pre-order situation at EB/Gamestop snuck up on a lot of people, I wanted to get the word out that EB and Gamestop are starting to take pre-orders for the Wii tomorrow morning when the stores open. They aren’t announcing how many consoles are going to be available so get there early.

Grrr- The Podcast

October 11, 2006

Ladies and gentlemen, the boiling point has been reached, well for me at least. Which means good news for our podcast, cause we got a great idea. We introduce the first ever “Whats Your Beef” Podcast. Let it all out, what about the gaming industry boils your blood. Rant, rave, and let the podcast world hear what TICKS YOU OFF. So start posting away, tell us What Your Beef is!

This morning marked the first and only day of pre-orders for the PS3 at local Gamestop and presumably EB stores. Most stores are reportedly getting between 8 and 16 units with harsh limits on employee reservations. The reports coming in so far have been mixed with some people [url=http://www.kotaku.com/gaming/ps3/ny-ps3-preorder-screw-over-206503.php]just shy [/url]of scoring a system and some being [url=http://www.kotaku.com/gaming/playstation-prose/ps3-preorder-a-happy-story-206487.php]among the lucky[/url]. Rest assured that anyone not scoring a PS3 preorder will have a chance to sell their first born to pick one up on eBay the same day the units arrive at retail.
