That seems unrealistic to me...but I am just speculating

They will have 100 PS3s at SIX stores. Other stores will have less.

If I get a PS3 (not a chance, I only have a slight interest in even the Wii) it'll be the 20GB version. I'd rather throw a 120GB hard drive in there than have WiFi. Wireless for gaming sucks anyways.

Now that the low end has HDMI and that the hard drive is upgradable, I see no reason to spend the money for the premium version. Basically you miss out on WiFi and the memory card reader, doesn't seem like much of a loss for $100.

Especially since you can grab an 80GB 2.5" drive from newegg for $70 or so.

Well that sucks. I will have to read those crazy Japanese characters now that I have to buy a Japan Wii.

Gotta figure out which store would be best bet to score a Wii without too much hassle... (ie waiting in line/running around like an idiot)

cool I'll probably arrive ~30 minutes before BB opens. I'm glad I won't have to wait 20000000000000 hours in line.

Good, I should be able to get a Wii if i decide to get one. I still can't decide if I want to pickup the Wii, or save for a 360.
