Stores take Sony PlayStation 3 pre-orders for November
GameStop and EB Games stores are going to start accepting pre-orders for Sony?s PlayStation 3 game console this morning. Due to ?extremely limited supply,? the stores expect their allocations of what is perhaps the holiday?s season?s most eagerly anticipated gadget to run out in minutes. I managed to make it up to GameStop at 9:40am and was able to reserve a premium PS3 by being the fourth and last order taken!
A $100 deposit is required for each order, but even that won?t guarantee that a PlayStation 3 will be available when the console goes on sale on Nov. 17, according to the notices, because the stores have no control over production and shipping issues. The console will be sold in two versions, for $499 and $599. Sony Corp. has said it plans to ship 2 million units by the end of the year.
