So apparently us consumers only have one week, starting today to reserve a PS3 or Wii. Seeing as Amazon sold out of pre-orders for the Wii, and half of the PS3's being sold are going to be put on eBay for profit, has anyone else decided to go ahead and prepared themseleves?

I'm reserving my Wii on Friday and hoping to god I get one on launch.

Not that I dislike Sony, I like them just fine, but I wouldn't exactly trust them to make a reliable machine.

As for me, I'm not going to preorder either because I have plenty of this-gen games coming out that will be absorbing a lot of my time.

My BF's getting a Wii. I'll just play with his. :D

GOD, that sounds bad....stupid name for a system, that. A whole generation of adolecents are going to be traumatized.

Give it about a week...it THINK that's what my manager said. DON'T quote me on that, though.

Nah. I'll be buying one during the first quarter of 2007.

I just can't be bothered with all this pre-order malarky.

Well, I currently don't have the money to pre-order either, and even if I did, I probably wouldn't. But anyways, I'm definitely going to be getting the Wii before the PS3. Not only have I been a Nintendo fan for most of my life, but also the Wii just looks so much better than the PS3.

Not to mention the PS3's ungodly price...
It does play Blu-ray, but still...

I'll probably get the Wii, though I am not sure yet if I'll get a US or EU one. Probably US, at Xmas, I think, I might preorder and get it shipped to my inlaws, since we're supposed to go to the US for Xmas.

The only store in my area that will sell either of them never sells out of anything. I don't need to pre-order. There were stacks of Xbox 360s there last Christmas.

Your boyfriend is a very lucky man.

I wish I had a girlfriend who played videogames.

Anyway, I will not be preordering either of them. I have never bought a system at launch and it will remain that way for a good long time. I don't feel like wasting $600 or even $250 on a system that, chances are, will have some problem or another with it.

I usually wait for about a year to a year and a half before buying a system. That is what I did with my PS2. Haven't had a single problem with it since.

If the 360 Premium drops to $300 then I might consider it. Wii is too much and the PS3 is going to die in a month.

Sadly Im not going to be preprdering any consoles. Apart from having no cash, I also have no room at my new halls. I was going to purchase a Wii with my ex, but nope.

I've been waiting for my credit card ever since BEFORE Mandee's wedding, so I guess I won't get it.

Stupid credit card.
