I knew so much more than the guy behind the couter, it was hilarious.
"We'll let you know when the release date it," he said.
I promptly replied...
"I"ll know before you! I'll let you know, buddy," and pointed at him and clicked my tongue.
This is gonna be so hott, pimp, bangin, delicious. and all that and a ham basket.
Wish me luck!

Of course there will be a line. There will be loads of people going to shops to pick up pre-orders.

Oh, yeah I am going to have to wait!! And wait!!
But, I'll probably be there around 9:00 at night so that I'll be one of the first to get mine. I'll be the first in Catty (my town) to play it, I hope.
Lines don't bother me that much, that's what I have an iPod for (which I will be running Linux on by then with the iPodLinux video player to watch movies released a few days ago!!!)

If any of you have a Fry's electronics around they don't take pre-orders so you just have to get up early and get in the front of the line and you'll get it. BTW EB only pre-sales a few of their shipment or can they pre-order every one they are getting?

The funny thing is stores like Best Buy, Circuit City, Walmart, etc. will all get shipments twice the size of stores like EB, and GameStop, and many wont take pre-orders which means you can just walk in off the street and buy one at launch. I've been burned by so many pre-order screw ups it's not even funny anymore. I'll be waltzing into my local walmart at the witching hour and strolling back out to my car sans pre-order, sans "bundle", and sans headaches.

lol, this topic is hiliarious, a bunch of people sleeping with there preorder receipts.
what if they cancel the x360? what will you do with your receipt? after it cheated on you like that. i mean it got your hopes up that much to sleep with it, and then right when you about to "have fun" with it, it leaves....
but neway, im still thinking about preordering mine. i figure ill put the min. 50$ down, and then if something happens between now and then ill either ill either finish paying for it if i really want it, cancel the preorder and get my money back, or wait it out till the last day to get it...
either way, i think im going to pick up doa4 and thaw with it, or if they make another one (crosses fingers but knows it wont happen) rallisport challenge game id pick that one up.
i think it'd be great if there was a gta game for release...but not because i like the games but because it would take away some of sony's fanbase.

Not everyone is so "lucky" to have a sis that works at best buy, or a brother that works at BK, or a uncle that cleans toilets at Papa Gino's. You are just one example EXACTLY why pre-ordering is a smart thing. Because jackasses like you and their family members who hold inventory aside and screw over the legitimate folk that stand in line for hours for a store to open up and get dicked. You must be real proud of yourself and your sis and her $9/hr job.

Here is something you didn't know about the pre-order system no matter where you do it at. If you let your pre-order sit there for longer than 48hrs, your game/system is viable to be sold to a customer that looks for one. Why is this you ask? Because it was YOUR responsibility to secure the game at launch and now, they are losing money on a sale. You would think, that money they got was for your game so the game they are holding is yours is it not? WRONG. That money they hold is STILL YOUR MONEY. Which means the game you reserved is still their game. They have a right to sell it to make a profit off of it when you don't go and pick it up.-
