No it's just an extended beta. When it said it was full they asked if they could send an sms message when it was not. Assumed they added more capacity since I got my message Thursday. It still needs some work... But looks like it will be very nice once they fix the stability and speed issues.

Why do all of the people that can't afford the PS3 keep bashing it? Why don't they play with their gamecube era graphics and be happy. Sounds like sour grapes to me... Go price a High Definition DVD player and you will see what kind of bargain it is.

Buy it for the Blu-Ray. I dumped the Wii. I just couldn't stand the wiimpy graphics that look like Gamecube games.

Keyboard and Mouse support is also a big plus.

I dumped my Wii (sounds wrong), And bought a PS3. It definitely looks incredible on a HDTV. Where the Wii looked like a Gamecube. And yes my Best Buy also had tons of PS3 sitting on the floor. As soon as people figured out that they had them they started disappearing.

Also, Gamestop's seem to be hiding the fact that they have them. You have to ask and they say sure we have a couple in the back. I asked why they didn't put a sign up and they said they were worried that it would cause a small riot..... Kind of hard to sell something when you don't let people know you have it.

Wii sold... PS3 Bought. 1080P Panel is finally happy. If I wanted a Gamecube I would have just bought one.

I just sold my Nintendo Wii(just at retail) to someone that really wanted it.. The PS3 has MUCH more wow factor to me. I'm in a million+ city and no one here has the PS3. I just lucked into a shipment at EB of 2 - 60GB units the day after Christmas.

Oh and supporting a Wireless Keyboard and Mouse at 1080p will make a much better browser experience.... Oh and Linux support, also.

I refreshed every 5 seconds and even saw the order button.

They never showed on the East Coast... The West coast no problem. My theory is they started their process on the west coast and before it could get to their caching servers... They sold out.

Got controllers and some other stuff, though.

Also from Louisville..

This is not Churchill Downs and it is not Trackside. Also the Derby was never held at Trackside, Trackside used to be called Louisville Downs and it was a Harness Racing track....

Wikipedia entry about Churchill and the Derby with pictures of the track http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kentucky_Derby

The pictures actually look like a horse farm in Lexington or Oldham County, maybe.
