I don't have a pre order, but am gonna get up tomorrow morning and hope to find one:?

I'll be getting Resistance fall of man, even if I dont find a PS3 though. I always buy games for a system I know I'm gonna get, even if I dont have the system yet. :) 

How about you? Are you getting one at launch? Gonna try to get one al launch? Or waitng to see what happens?

From what I've heard you have no problem getting a system, they still have many non-preordered systems.

I pre-ordered my PS3 only last week. Today I went to the store to ask if I would get my PS3 for sure tomorrow. And yeah, I will! :D I was afraid (since I live pretty much in the middle of nowhere) that either the store wouldn't get any PS3s, or they'd get less PS3s than they have pre-orders for it. But all's good, there are more PS3s than pre-orders, so I can safely go there tomorrow and pick it up. I'm really excited. :D Also, I ordered a BT headset from Amazon today (was the last of its kind in stock, lol) and I'll pick up R:FOM, Motorstorm, a 2nd Sixaxis and an HDMI cable with it tomorrow. This'll be such a fun weekend...

I'm not even sure I want to buy it too far away from home. I'm gonna go to a small store close to home first so if they have it  I dont have to walk home for long. Not even becouse I'll be home sooner to play it. more for fear of being robbed. even in broad daylight:|
