My order didn't show up when I entered the code... it says that it could take up to 15 minutes though... has it shown up for anyone yet?
No way this is gonna happen.
These guys have been on this before news hit GAF:
Over ten pages(towards the end of the thread) about the Best Buy link with people having ordered multiple units.
This is gonna be a mess.

*BestBuy.com IT goes back to Windows screen after a match of Battlefield 2.
*Checks inquiry history to ensure stability of system.
*Cries in horror when 30K Playstation 3's are ordered before he even had a chance to put the image up.

By all that's holy, multiple orders should be canceled...or at least cut back to one unit.The Experiment said:

Very, very interesting... *scratches head*
I haven't ordered anything from BB.com since last year. I clear out my cache, cookies, history, and misc. temporary internet files periodically. There's NO POSSIBLE WAY this is a phishing scheme.
I've since closed my browser, opened up a completely new instance of bestbuy.com via their normal URL (no links), signed into my account normally, pulled up my order history, and voila, the PS3 order is there, with a status of "InProcess". This is not a scam. Will it be cancelled since this was likely a glitch? Probably. But not a scam.
I'll be crying when those bastards cancel my order tomorrow or Monday, but I'm laughing now. That's funny.

I got an email for signing up with BestBuy and two seperate emails for the orders. I doubt scammers would be that thorough.
FW and SD members just rape websites. I used to be a FW addict and I remember some of the sickest deals going through. Buy.com had a coupon that took $50 off a $500 purchase. Well the coupon ended up taking $50 off of $50 purchase. FW raided the shit out of buy.com and they honored every ordered. They actually sent out emails asking people to authorize buy.com to charge them the correct amount, but FW gave them the big **** you. No idea how buy.com stayed in business with all that free shit they gave out.

Oh I heard about Bestbuy. Lots of complaints! Check them out on the Better Business Bureau! I wouldn't trust them. Cancel while you can.
I CANT FIND MY WALLET!!!
Question... I ordered and thought they would be charging my debit card at the time of shipment. Right now the balance on my card shows up as negative by about $200 due to the PS3 order, but I just sent $500 from my PayPal account to my bank account (which will take a few days to actually get added to my account). Do you think I'll be alright?
By the way, sonarrat, you rule (even if this doesn't work out).
EDIT: Also, I created an account with Best Buy for this occasion. I'm on their site and somebody else's info is showing up in "My Account"... like the Konami ZOE2 incident... is this happening to anybody else?

Will be shipped as soon as it is available...meaning sometime next year.
We'll see who gets the last laugh in this one.

Did working 13 hours today actually reward me with a PS3? I was so tired when I got home 2 hours ago the last thing I was gonna do was go out, hell I was off to bad and BAM I checked GAF quick. I'll believe it when I see it but for now I'm a happy camper.
Certainly they won't honor more than 1 per customer, they obviously changed that quickly. Does anyone have a clue how many units BB has available for online pre-order like this?

Amazon Canada's lasted a little over an hour with less stock. BB is supposedly getting 200K.

1000 to 2000 at most. Maybe 100 from GAF, a few hundred from SlickDeals, and about a thousand from other sources. I don't think its hit the limit yet. Probably will in a few hours though.
