I preordered a PS3 at EB Games today. I didn't think I'd be able to, as I got out there at around 7:30 AM. To my surprise, no one was there yet! I grabbed some coffee and food, and went back for 8:30. A lot of people joined up after me. The store only took the first eight people. I was number one, so I put my $100 down (credit card style).

The manager of the store told me that the preorder doesn't guarantee a PlayStation 3 on launch day, but he also said he is saying that to cover his bases. I guess if they get any launch allocation, I get one... Now I wonder if I will be keeping it or not...
