Let the Madness Begin

All I can say is let the madness begin. It is all over the net. The rush for the PS3’s has officially started and in some ways also ended. One day? Yeah it only took one day. That is what happens when you only promise 400,000 units per launch. Today and only today EB Games and Gamestop stores allowed customers to preorder their PS3 with a one hundred dollar deposit. All the PS3s are sold out. This is all well and good except for a few rather disturbing rumors: - Reserving it doesn’t guarantee you’ll get a unit come launch day - Some sources say that names will be randomly drawn from a hat (oh like that will work) - Some EB and Gamestops aren't even giving out preorders because all the employees are buying them (Ebay anyone?) I thought the Xbox 360 launch was a disaster but this is just plain ridiculous. It isn’t all Sony’s fault by any means but suffice to say I’d stop bashing other system launches when you don’t have the potential to pull off a better one. The conduct of EB and Gamestop is what is really shocking. I would think Sony would be upset with this. I guess money is money. I’m not a MS fan boy or a Sony hater. True Sony has seen better days in my mind and I do own a 360 currently, but I’m getting a PS3 too. I can’t wait until they are filling the shelves with amazing titles to make my mind go spinning in delight. Now if one company could just launch a system correctly….:?
