Don't really expect it to go through though. Link is still alive 2 and 1/2 hours after it was first posted.

I've heard that Best Buy has bought out half of Sony's launch supply (200k units). So it is feasible, especially since it started late Saturday night.

I dont think so man. Walmart has to account for at least 20%,eb/gs,sears,target,etc,etc. Not only that, all theese preoders are for home delivery only. What about the supply that will be available to all thoose people waiting in line at bb? I think if you order it now, you'll probably get it like a month later(close to christmas time or so)

What a debacle. Who wants to take bets on how high PS3's are going to go for on E-Bay?

bought one, but really, what's the chance of getting this? They have to have thousands of these orders by now. I would imagine they'd want most of them in their B&M stores :confused:

My Email confirmation from them says,

"Your credit card will not be charged until we ship the item(s) to you. "

Who said "ur" card is charged now? I bought something from Best Buy a few weeks ago, and it's still backordered - haven't been charged yet. I don't see why this would be any different.

Even if your card is charged now, you can cancel the order and get your money back - no big deal.

Yup, I got a confirmation email as well. Weird, my Walmart Wii email never got to me from a couple days ago.

Looks like the stealth cancellations have begun. No email, but the order doesnt show in my account anymore.

I missed out on this, but I hope those of you who ordered 1 get it. I saw some guy on the slickdeals forums who said he ordered 13 of them ... how ridiculous is that?
