Haha it was thanks to PSXExtreme that I knew about the GameStop pre-orders in the first place! I found out the night before and went to my local EBGames at like 8am. Two other guys came at the same time as me, so I ended up 3rd out of the 8 consoles they're getting. So I was pretty glad I did what I did =), even though I had to drive up to school since I was missing my usual train.

My strategy was to hit up a small suburb store and it worked well. I got on the line only 20 minutes before store opening and secured myself the 9th system out of 15 that were availalable for launch.
I checked with 12 stores in the area, the number of launch units they are getting is 12, 14, 15, 16, 8, 16, 16 and five locations wouldn't disclose the number.
So its not as bad as we expected, but the numbers can obviously vary very much by area. |
