i will use e-shops as a last option if i cant find them elsewhere , i do not like to pay via credit card immediately and then wait 2+ weeks for delivery much , i also do not trust "in stock" messages online as almost all shops i've tried said same on their website

Please say that this isn't a suprise to you....People should know that unless you pre-ordered it, it's gonna be hard to find. I didn't pre-order, i regret it now. I know it's gonna be like a 3 weeks before i see one in stock someplace

Gamestop had gobs of them where I lived (I don't live in a large city) so it wasn't a problem at all. I would mention though, consider yourself lucky almost, the games for Move really suck at this point. Unless you are going to be playing resident evil 5 GE again, or Tiger Woods 11, those are about the only decent games I have played for it so far. The rest so far have just left a bland taste in my mouth. Sports Champions is fun for a short time, but the game is about as deep as a puddle.

Don't fret man, you'll get the Move in due time but for now I would say don't worry about it much, you really aren't missing anything too important yet.

Now once Killzone 3 comes out...this might change.

Because it's the best motion control system on any console. It's simply awesome. I played it at the Dew Tour in SLC in my area. I also played it in 3D which is way cool. Why do things have to cost so much money?!

If the website says it's in stock, that means it's in stock ON THE WEBSITE. If you go to the store, it might not be there. Just order it.

Rule of Thumb - If it is hardware it is mandatory to pre order if you aren't picking it up as soon as it i launched. Hardware launches are extremely small and take a while to replenish. Has no one learned from the multitude of examples from this gen? Launch of the 3 systems, Launch of the Black Wii, Launch of Wii Fit, Launch of PS3 and 360 slims, launch of Move, and soon to be Launch of Kinect.

Stores aren't going to order 100,000s of units of something that may not sell. First shipments are always small to test demand

If you live in Canada or States, you should try walmart, blockbusters, bestbuy, andgamestop. You shouldnt have problems of finding it.

I have seen them at all the stores I've been to in the last week which actually really surprised me. For sure the few different Target's has both the bundle with the ps3 as well as the stand alone move pack and all the different controlls seperately as well if you already had the eye. Now I just need to buy a ps3 and decided if I want to shell out the extra hundred bucks for the move.
