Can you feel the excitement? If you can, it probably means that you are a GameStop employee who is about to take $100 from your loyal customers while guaranteeing them nothing in return.
That's right, you can plunk down $100 hard earned dollars (or trade-in credit) tomorrow and show up on November 17th and then walk away with nothing besides uncontrollable rage. This "limited" preorder program has been put into place because of an "extremely limited" supply of PS3s on launch day. So, how bad is the supply problem? According to GameSpot, "Most stores will receive a preorder allocation of eight units, while a few select stores will receive 16. In either case, employee purchases will be restricted to a total of no more than two systems per store."
Online preorder plans will be revealed later. Undoubtedly -- if history is any clue -- the online preorders will be bundle packages priced at more than $1000. Thanks, but no thanks, GameStop. I think I'll take my chances in front of Best Buy.
