Attention everyone!! Joystiq did NOT jump the gun. There have been many, many confirmations on other websites and forums of plenty of people who've called and got confirmation, including myself. Here's the skinny.
There will be preorders for the PS3 and Wii on Sunday, as well as a shipment of TMX. It seems as though every store will be getting 8 PS3, 7 60GB, 1 20GB, but some high volume stores MAY get more (all 4 of mine said 8 though). No one's given me a definite answer on Wii totals, but a couple said "maybe 20 or two dozen".
I think TRU is pulling a Gamestop by effectively lying to people about this to prevent mass hysteria on Sunday.
Amount of deposit is $50 for each console and I was told that there would NOT be bundles, simply the console itself. Anyway, that's all the info I've got. Good luck everyone.
