Wow! Same dude, more ridiculous crap. The Wii is now too expensive. I don't know. $400AU Wii, $600AU 360 or $1,000AU PS3? Does this Sony exec really have the right to be slagging the prices of the other guys?

He's like trying to get nerd-murdered or something.

Sony are goddamned douche bags. Used douche bags, to clarify. ****ing retards.

I can't wait for PS3 to suck it up at market, and hopefuly for Sony to go ****ing bankrupt. I'm going to cry tears of joy when that happens, regardless of who claims the #1 spot.

Yesterday, GameStop and EB Games outlined the retailers' preorder program for the much anticipated PlayStation 3. With problems stemming from last year's preorder campaign for the Xbox 360 and that system's subsequent short supply, the two retailers buckled down this year, limiting most stores to only eight PS3 preorders and requiring a $100 deposit from customers. The program began this morning when the company's more than 3,500 stores opened their doors for business.

As expected, the PS3 preorders went like next-gen hotcakes. GameStop and EB Games have updated their Web sites with grim news for anyone hoping to reserve one of Sony's next-gen consoles from any of the company's thousands of stores in the US.

Messages on both sites read: "Due to high demand and limited quantities, our US in-store preorder for the PlayStation 3 has ended."

However, American gamers set on getting a preordered PS3 may be able to head north to get that valuable voucher.

The message continues: "Information regarding the launch date of our Canadian in-store preorder will be posted when available. Online console preorder information coming soon!"

Peanut, you could probably make some money off that.

This either means that the majority of people are still ignorant to the nigh Nazi-esque demeanor of Sony and it's execs and their construction of the PS3 as a device of misery and suffering, or it's just a further sign of how ridiculous their 8 (realistically 6) consoles per store allocation is.
