Thanks. As much as I hated to mess up your "69," the rules are the rules...

hehehhehe

Thanks!

I also read all the gaming blogs and they haven't said that there were any further delays. Just less available...

Analyst Final PS3 Production in Full Swing

Analyst P.J. McNealy believes Sony are on the brink of the final assembly of the PS3 units and they can potentially move out TWO MILLION units from their lines by the end of the year.

quote

He continued, "It is our opinion that given the 13 weeks or so of production time, SNE can still come close to its forecast of 2MM units worldwide by the end of December. We believe this likely means a split of 60/40 (1.2MM/800k) for North America/Japan for shipments, which are counted when invoiced off the SNE factory floor. Our research indicates that typically 10-20% of the unit shipment forecast will likely still be in the channel (en route) at the end of December and not installed in homes yet. The low end of that range is more likely simply because SNE will likely still be air-freighting and not tanker-shipping PS3s at that point."

Your leaving on 17th? That's the day it's released, it'll be long gone by then.

They most likely won't sell you two either.

I'm going to get to Best Buy Thrusday morning and see what the lines look like.

probably, there are a few best buy employees on here i'm sure one of them will have an answer for us when they know.

I'm also thinking of camping out the day before.

If they do start selling them at midnight that would help a lot since I wouldn't need to take Friday off, but if not then well...

Still I hope they do that thing were you can take a number.

BTW Justin, does that avy make most people want to laugh and punch something at the same time?
