In the fatwallet thread, someone just called best buy and the csr read off a bulletin where best buy will "no longer be taking preorders," which means there's a good chance our orders may go through after all!

Means nothing. If you call 10 times you'll get 10 different answers. We'll all have to just wait it out.

It's still showing up in my account at Bestbuy.com. I haven't a received a cancellation notice yet either. (crosses fingers :cool😉

The original ordering page said "Pre-Order". It wasn't like they just accidentally flipped a switch and put the PS3 on their online system. Someone deliberately created a Pre-order page on their website.
 
I just got this.....
