So I went to my local EBGames yesterday to trade in some god awful pieces of craps to them. I leave guaranting myself a PS3. Well, hopefully. As I was chatting up the manager while he was going through my stuff, I ask when they'll be taking preorders for the PS3 and the Wii. He says he didn't know, but if I was to reserve a game or two, he'd put my name on a list of people he'll be calling first when they do find out the specifics for the PS3. I preorded five games and he puts me in the top 3 of the wait list. Preordering the games were $5 each and I can always get my money back on it if I wanted too. The second they get info on when they can let people preorder the machine, he'll be giving me a call. I can't say for sure if every EB will be like this, or how reliable the guy will be, but hey, go give it a shot. The PS3 launch is going to be a freaking nightmare. Far worse than what the 360 launch was. And I can't wait to capitalize on this and throw that some byatch on eBay. :)
