That is so awesome, thanks a ton for posting this. I'm so glad I was too sick to camp out for a Gamestop preorder.

 

[Community Forum]

OMG what did I just do?

 

[tgenius]

I got in too but I think the orders will be cancelled.. if not.. ebay here I come!

 

[Stat Flow]

Bah, I could get it right now, but then I couldn't get a Wii.

****, I hate making decisions.

;_;

 

[cvxfreak]

Got one, please go through

 

[rikichi]

got one! (hopefully)

 

[kamikaze]

heh....wouldnt it be funny if this actually turned out to be some sort of clever phishing scam disguised as a BB PS3 preorder page??

cuz then i'd be truly f***ed, since i just preordered a 20 gigger :lol :lol :lol
anyways, thx OP

heh, yeah, it actually would be pretty clever. fortunately, i logged in to my best buy account and it had the right credit card info pre-loaded. it's fine.

 

[AltogetherAndrews]

Do you have to pay the full balance right away?

 

[Goreomedy]

Bah, I could get it right now, but then I couldn't get a Wii.

****, I hate making decisions.

;_;

Um... order it now. Decide later. I'm pretty sure you'll be able to get your money back... somehow...

 

[Mejilan]

It's not a phishing scam. My Firefox and IE7 phishing filters didn't pick it up, and logging into my account brought up all the right info from when I put in my X360 order last December.

 

[frAntic_Frog]

and is there any way to change the shipping to in-store pickup on the 17th??? i would love to stroll in on the 17th right in front of the faces of all those campers and pickup a PS3 at the preorder counter and stroll out just like a walk in the park :lol :lol :lol

 

[op_ivy]

ahahaha, i am soooooo f'ing weak!

i knew i'd likely get a ps3 eventually, but i really wasnt in a hurry.... untill i saw this thread. 20 gig baby, next day air. :lol

 

[Wollan]

I'm surprised it's still open. I guess it hasn't spread too much yet on this Saturday evening.

 

[flarkminator]

Woohoo *yoink*


**** I am SO weak willed. I was like, "oh I'll ignore all the hype this time." "Take it easy and not deal with bundles"

Then this thread pops up and I literally dive from my desk to grab teh credit card.

 

[Mejilan]

Tried. In-store pickup was disabled for me. I opted for overnight shipping to my office.

 

[alr1ght]

Wholly shit, thank you OP. Got a 60GB.

Order Total (charged to credit card): $648.10

 

[Stat Flow]

Well, I do have a PS2 so there'd be no point in worrying about memory card slots.

But what exactly do you guys mean by no Wifi?

As in, no internets from my hotspot in my house?

X_X

 

[frAntic_Frog]

heh, yeah, it actually would be pretty clever. fortunately, i logged in to my best buy account and it had the right credit card info pre-loaded. it's fine.

thanx for the reassurance.....i had my suspicions raised sinced i went to the BB.com page and couldnt find the preorder page....glad to have that cleared up

 

[AltogetherAndrews]

I'm surprised it's still open. I guess it hasn't spread too much yet on this Saturday evening.

I find it easier to stomach pre-ordering something for $50 cash than to plop down $599 right away.

 

[Tarazet]

I looks like for once, I scooped everyone. CAG and Fatwallet still don't know about it.

if you did that, i'd bring security with you and make sure no one follows you on your ride home. :lol

 

[sangreal]

eh, I ordered. Why not, its just credit anyway. It'll probably be cancelled, but none of my 360 preorders from the internets were cancelled so I'm hopeful. Nothing to lose really

 

[ManaByte]

Wait, this is ONLINE ONLY right...no in-store pre-orders?

 

[Fun Factor]

wait will this be mailed or will I have to pick up the pre order??
QUICK BEFORE IT RUNS OUT TELL ME NOW

 

[Wario64]

$666 here :lol

 

[flarkminator]

mailed

 

[Dracos]

Got one. If this goes through then maybe my PS3 and Wii will be free.

SHHHHHhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.........KEEEP IT ON THE DOWN-LOW, GAFers

awesome job. wonder if the mods would deem it worthy of a new tag...that's assuming you aren't really attached to your 'skin flute' one.

 

[Mejilan]

In-store pick up was NOT available when I tried to select it.

 

[ethelred]

Are they charging peoples' credit cards right away? Or waiting until ship date?

 

[Stat Flow]

I can cancel Pre-Orders from Best Buy as long as it's before the thing ships right?

*ANSWER QUICKLY*

 

[Community Forum]

So the question now is, does Next Day Air mean it will be delivered on Sat, because normally that is a different service charge.

Next Day Air shipped on a Friday means Monday, right? Unless it is Next Day Air Saturday Delivery.

Oh, and THANK YOU SONARRAT!!!

 

[Dirtbag]

Anyone that passes this thread up is a fool, its either gaming bliss/bragging rights or easy money ( not that I condone that sorta thing ). Either way, if you can find a launch ps3, buy it and figure out what to do with it later.


What the hell are you idiots waiting for... 60 gig vs. 20 gig... Just buy the damn thing b4 its too late.

 

[Goreomedy]

Yes, you can cancel pre-orders before shipping.

 

[steviebomb]

Thanks, sonarrat! Just ordered a 60 gigger.

 

[frAntic_Frog]

Are they charging peoples' credit cards right away? Or waiting until ship date?

this was in the confirmation email they sent me:

"We will send you an e-mail that includes the shipping date and tracking number of your item(s) once they are packed and ready to be shipped from our warehouse. Your credit card will not be charged until we ship the item(s) to you. "

 

[gprime]

Hmm.. I'm Canadian and tried one of those Shop the State sites with this. Only costs $5 for mail forwarding + custom fees (but no sales tax). Shouldn't be TOO bad I hope. And I can always cancel this if I can secure a preorder in Canada before launch, right?

 

[drohne]

ordered a 60gb, though i doubt this is going to go through.

the total with tax and shipping is $666. ominous. and expensive. :x

 

[alr1ght]

I'm sticking on the safe side and only ordering 1. Don't want to get canceled for double ordering.

 

[dante786]

Hope this works, i just got one, 60 GB version. I'll prob sell it on ebay tho, then pick it up again in feb or march with motorstorm. Thanks for the heads up GAF

 

[gprime]

ordered a 60gb, though i doubt this is going to go through.

Why not? It's only been up for what.. 5 minutes? The 4 forums I frequent all have a thread about this.. the internet is going crazy! So.. I doubt this will last longer than 5 more minutes.

 

[quaere]

I'm in for the ride, thanks.

 

[frAntic_Frog]

if this preorder is rejected, i wonder if you can still go instore to a BB before the 17th, and use a Customer Fulfillment form to purchase a PS3......thats how i bought the rare x800xt video card from BB when it first came out and was hard to order online

 

[ethelred]

this was in the confirmation email they sent me:

"We will send you an e-mail that includes the shipping date and tracking number of your item(s) once they are packed and ready to be shipped from our warehouse. Your credit card will not be charged until we ship the item(s) to you. "

That's what I thought, but they've actually put through the 600$ charge on my card. Odd.

 

[joeposh]

Just bit on a 60 gig as well... jury is still out on whether I want to keep it or not, but I figure this will at least save me a very cold night in Chicago if it goes through. Even if I decide against the PS3, I can always return it or use it to cover my Wii related costs .

 

[ChrisReid]

Neato, guess you can't go wrong with a preorder here.

I don't even feel bad about buying one of these to resell them, because the people who will catch these quick online things will be mainly people ordering them to resell them.

 

[Fun Factor]

oh jesus christ oh mighy I pulled the trigger

please god let it be true

please don't make this be some kind of fluke or delay or the mail messing up on delivery or an act of god please

plz plz plz

 

[Beatbox]

Yippeeeee!

 

[drohne]

apparently you can't get to the ps3 listings from the bestbuy storefront itself -- i don't think these are supposed to be up, and it's 50/50 whether stores actually honor links like this.
