Crimmy said:If I get banned for informing people about something rather important, thats pretty crappy. I have no link to a website but I spoke with TRU TWICE today. In the morning, everything was fine and dandy. Then I called back again 30 minutes ago and he said that they are ALL experiencing some type of shortage. Instead of getting 8 you may get 7. Instead off 7 you may get 4. They won't know until tomorrow.
They also said that you don't have 48 hours to pick it up anymore. You have to pick it up within 24 or else their giving it to employee's/ customers.

Crimmy said:I'm really not trying to cause trouble. What the hell? If you dont believe me, call the TRU you preordered from. Make sure you speak to either the store manager or asssistant manager because when I called this morning, they confirmed everyone was getting theirs. I called back today and the lady put me on with the store manager and he stated that ALL TRU's have been affected (not just mine) by a shortage of PS3's because Sony is only shipping 200k or so. He said he isnt sure how short they will be and the best thing to do is come in at 9am tomorrow which is when they open.
Again, he said this is EVERY TRU. All of them will experience some type of shortage. the amount isn't known until tomorrow.
I heard the same thing about EB. They dont know how many they are getting and its less than 24 hrs before launch

A CompUSA employee told me that Sony cut shipments from 2.2 million units to 200,000 units. He didn't even give me a time frame.
http://www.cheapassgamer.com/forums/showthread.php?t=115299I saw the whole alotment sheet for both ps3 and wii today (didn't get a chance to print it out). Wii numbers will be anywhere from 30 up to almost 300 per store, all varying. I can't give store numbers, as I don't even remember which ones were getting what. All I know is my store is getting 36 (small store, small town) and the next nearest is getting 66.
PS3, on the other hand.... I wouldn't even bother waiting outside for. Some stores, according to the list, may not even meet their preorders, let alone have extras. One glimmer of hope, however, if a preordered PS3 is not picked up by close on Saturday night, it goes out for sale sunday morning.

Make sure you tell them that you are from an internet gaming forum and are just confirming what someone has posted as truth.brocke said:i'm still on hold waiting for a manager on duty from that toys r us.

Crimmy said:Wow. This is the bull I'm talking about. I might drive up there now and put a voice recorder on my Cell on and see what they say.
Whatever, tho close the thread then and we'll see what happens tomorrow. For those who are doubting me, if there are people who don't get there TRU preorder tomorrow, I would like an apology.
I doubt that...I heard the same thing about EB. They dont know how many they are getting and its less than 24 hrs before launch
