Support NeoGAF

[Wario64]

I wonder if this preorder page was up for a while. It just took someone like sonarrat to uncover it from Froogle...

 

[Bad_Boy]

you ebayers should atleast support some devs and bundle a game to go with the ps3's you sell, I doubt it will hurt your mean profits all that much.

dont have anything against ebaying ps3's, profit is profit, but i dont have anything against supporting hard working developers as well.

 

[Bebpo]

How much are warranties usually? I despise the idea of having to get one, but if it's not a steep hike in price, then I'll go for one. Otherwise I'll just sue Sony when it breaks. PEACE.

Either $50 or 10% so $60. X360 was $50.

Camping somewhere with a bunch of other Insomniacs. I'm trying to end up with a total of two... hopefully this is one of them.

cool. I hope that Best Buy will clean up the preorders a bit and cancel the ones where people ordered more than one, or at least move them to the end of the cue.

Think Ill leave that to the buyer, if I pick a game for it, That inevitably limits my target demographic anyways, silly.

 

[WickedAngel]

No, I DON'T this this is a phishing scam, what it's shaping up to be is that "Someone" NOT Best Buy, created those pages, BUT it is Definately INSIDE the Best buy OFFICAL system, maybe a disgrunted worker.

So a disgruntled worker managed to get all the CSRs to indicate that Best Buy knew about these pre-orders?

Check your order status on bestbuy.com

People on CAG are starting to get "1 item(s) backordered" messages

[edit] Mine still says preordered. Ordered at 8:52 pm PST

 

[RumFore]

Please don't cancel my order. Please don't cancel my order. I will do good with the profit I make.

fair enough I suppose, but how much will somebody paying 1500 for a ps3 even care about what game you are including?

 

[Tarazet]

I just called a CSR, and she said all the orders are going to be canceled. :/

:lol

Spoiler

 

[Mejilan]

Mine still says "InProcess" and preordered. Where on the order page does it tell you the time, I only see the date it was ordered.

 

[cvxfreak]

I just called a CSR, and she said all the orders are going to be canceled. :/

:/ What.

 

[Alts]

I'm basing time on the time of the confirmation email

 

[Mejilan]

Status: InProcess/Preordered
Ship Date: 11/17/06
Ordered: 11:14PM EST

DO NOT WANT ;_;

 

[Rummy Bunnz]

Some people care. And who is going to pay that much for a system and not get a game for it?

How much does it cost to bump it up to overnight?

No me gusta...

This idea, I think I could get behind. ;-)

You made my night.

And now you just ruined it.

I could think of a few people over at AVS who would.

[Alts]

A large number of CSRs say it's all good.
One says it isn't.

Relax.

 

[cvxfreak]

Someone else want to call and see if we can confirm sonarrat's CSR?

 

[WickedAngel]

Since the CSRs are still relaying mixed messages, all hope is not lost. It'll be up to management to decide on Monday.

 

[Tarazet]

Relax.

God I hope she was just wrong. I'm just going to not communicate with any more reps and wait and see..

 

[eudaemonic]

(I mean, seriously guys, who ordered accy or Resistance along with their pre-order tonight?)

*giggles at the hint*

I'll keep my fingers crossed for you, btw.

I'll do you one better. If I sell a PS3 on eBay, all of the profits will go to buy a ton of 360 and DS games and quite a few Wii games/accessories, plus Marketplace/VC cards, and so on.

 

[JCBossman]

Wait for it....Wait For It...Here it CUMS...VIDICATION!

Doen't help PS3 developers.

Oh wait. I forgot that scalping PS3s = Anti-Sony statement.

 

[WickedAngel]

Vidication != A Word.

Wait for it....Wait For It...Here it CUMS...VIDICATION!

What's VIDICATION, precious?

 

[Stoney Mason]

Boy if this goes through, I'm going to gouge the crap out of some rich parent.

.......Baby needs a new pair of shoes.

:lol :lol

 

[kamikaze]

i think he's trying for a tag.

 

[Crab Shaker]

I'm worried. Earlier when I would check status it said "shipping on 11/20/06" since I got two-day. now it just says "released 11/17/06" or something like that. God help me this better work.

Peter would be proud. What you do with your money is not my business, just putting my opinion out there.

That I'm a Downer Dog, talking out my ass, I KNEW this wasn't real, I tried to warn people, I mean a company doesn't TELL you explictly that they are NOT doing pre-orders, than turns around and sneaks a pre-order in on sat. nite. Nobody likes to hear bad news.
I tried to tell them about the rabbit, but would they listen NO just a cute furry little bunny-Tim the Enchanter

 

[eudaemonic]

I would put down "Negative Nancy" :lol

 

[Joates]

Where can you check the shipping date and shit on your preorder? And the "inprocess"/"backordered" thing, not seeing it anywhere...

 

[Mejilan]

I would put down "Negative Nancy" :lol

'Negative Nancy Drew' for all that selfless investigatin'!

Well.

You can't make up a word, then use it without explaining it to us first.

Really.

Relax.

Let's cross our fingers.

 

[MiamiWesker]

I know someone who also called BB CS and the lady said there was not supposed to be PS3 pre-orders online and that its likely that all the orders will be canceled.

Well...what is the worst that can happen? We have our orders cancelled.

No risk here. All reward.

Great job, Carnak.

More fuel for the fire.

I'm no longer expecting a PS3 from BB. Oh well. It was a nice try either way.
