I feel your pain, however I had to cancel my order due to the fact I went on holiday the day I had to pick one up.

It's not the end of the world my friend. I'm patiently waiting 'til they're available and I'll guarantee you'll get a better deal as the pressure's on for the PS3. Look at the Xbox 360. I honestly didn't expect that to go down in price but it did.

Isn't there a way you can pay a deposit at a store and that way they can't sell it off to anyone else? I've often done that at Gamestation.
