And so it begins. Everyone's favorite importer, Lik-Sang, announced today that they are accepting pre-orders on the legendary PS3 and about 20 PS3 games. Well, technically it's more of a "first come, first serve" waiting list:
"Virtually place yourself in the waiting line at Japanese videogame shops and let Lik Sang do the dirty work for you. Conditions are quite flexible and there is strictly no money involved. No need to wait for the department store next door to finally get its stock a year later. The price at Lik-Sang.com will remain $0 until we have secured the best possible purchase prices, as many units as possible, and until further details emerge from our suppliers all around the world."
It won't cost you a dime to get into Lik-Sang's virtual line, but it will cost you when you're actually able to complete your order:
"Extra note: Be prepared that the day-1 prices will be much higher than the manufacturers suggested retail price. Experienced and veteran hardcore gamers, who are not importing a system for the first time, know that buying a PS3 at launch or a PSP at launch is not the same thing as simply buying a mere PlayStation 3 or a random PSP off some supermarket shelf. You're paying for the privilege of getting it two months before the massive overflow."
Yeah. I'll take my chances at Best Buy.
