I supposed it will be GAME for me, just because I can walk out of the shop holding it VERY tightly and so I can play it as soon as I get home! I can't wait for Internet sites to deliver consoles it's too painful!

Guys, when we launch, there will be an Amazon link to pre order the console from (.com or .co.uk depending on your location), so if you guys are going to preorder the console, please try and do it through us.

It will not cost you any extra (still £280 and same price for American users, so its not more expensive), Amazon is one of the only places in UK that can guarantee launch day delivery. For those waiting on game, erm...yeah best of luck with that, lol.

There will be a link to click on, make sure you use that link to preorder the console. That way you can help us out by paying for the servers and stuff

Yeah, just noticed that.

I've been told they are fine at the moment, but if there is a significant increase, they will source them from other companies.

Looks to be set at 90% possible to meet the demand, they just added that to cover the 10% chance of things not going to plan.

Theres PLENTY of Core systems going, so I may just preorder the core version and get the Hard drive and buy the others seperately. Bit more expensive, but better than waiting 4 months

They can't guarantee I'll get one on launch date due to the shortage. I suppose it will be a case of first come first served. If I don't get one I will have to wait just like the rest of the population but I hope they will have one available for launch day.

Heh.

Popular, I'd guess so. Seeing as this place is full of knife-wielding junkies.

Seriously, though, yeah, Edinburgh's population is fast catching Glasgow's. People want out of this place, and people want into Edinburgh. For some reason. Maybe cobbled streets and moss-covered castles are all the rage these days.

Gamestop, I usually get my games from Amazon, but I would much rather go pick the the system up instead of having to wait till its delivered.

I don't mind waiting about for my system to arrive. I remember I had a PSP delivered for UK launch day and that came to me about 10:30 in the morning so I didn't really have that long to wait. But I can see that most people would prefer a store pick up.

My post usually comes at after 11, which is a long time to wait if you're eaglerly anticipating something.
