I've been searching long and hard, but I've finally got a PS3. My history about getting systems on launch day or the subquent weeks after is insane. A PS2 on Nov. 11, 2000, GBA: June 11, 2000, Xbox : Nov. 15 (along with MGS2 2), and now the PS3. I was so hyped when they announced that they were going to release it. When launch day hit, I was in the same boat as many gamers. Now, I'm in the elite few hundred thousand (maybe closer to 2 million as we speak) that owns Sony's newest machine. Much success to all who try to find and buy one. (Gamestop.com says a new shipment will be in 1/23/07)
