    Interesting that both Gamestation and Game are no where near reaching their PS3 pre-order limit apparently.

    I spoke to one of my ex-managers who works at GAME about it, and he said "its one of the slowest pre-order schemes ive ever seen". Even the DS was outstripping it at this current stage.

    Wonder if we'll get a last second rush, or if the price and various issues really has gotten to people?

    Woah thats nasty!

    Shrewsbury store hasnt gone that far yet

    Also been talking to managers of both Game and Gamestation here in Shrewsbury and they have barely any pre-orders for the PS3 and they say most of the ones they do have are prob from people who have pre-ordered everywhere just in case.

    HMV are asking for £100 deposit for a pre-order :O

    My local Gamestation are being tight lipped. With the Xbox 360 and Wii they let me see the list and how many people had ordered, but they won't say anything about the PS3.

    I love Blu-tac. On a side note: This section isn't for news, that's in the news section. This is just for general MS stuff.

    Classy.

    I'm sure the super cool bods at Sony approve. Colored paper stuck on a window... thats as pretty as a rainbow on a spring morning, in my book.

    I feel like Clarkson on Top Gear at the moment - really likes cars, spends all his time slagging various different cars off.

    Euro PS3 launch is a mess (althought slightly better post Home stuff), Wii... some games please. 360 - got bored of it, found myself wanting to play Nintendo style platformers, not endless racing, shooting and Tony Hawksing games.

    And I just can't be arsed getting into gaming PCs again. Last time I found myself with a MachII GT phase change cooler than I was scared of, and a case full of LEDs.

    Its not like it was in the good old (16bit) days.

    not sure if its mentioned, but im sure the "poster (hahaha)" is actually from sony, as its identical (but thankfully on plain paper) in the woolworths's(?) in town.

    iv seen crappy band posters with more appeal to them than that toss.

    rock on Sony, rock on
