Yupness.. I snuck out of the house on the reservation day, at around 4 in the morning..it was cold that day..waited till 11 or 12 for the tickets...Fortunately I was second to last.. before they ran out of tickets x.x.. almost had second thoughts.. (I really wanted the black one;; and I hadn't slept for a while from the excitement...and carefully plotting for this) I was just so tired and cold that I almost didn't go.. but then I told my self I'd regret it... yay! ..they're still pretty scarce around here on the island ^^Launch day.. it was cold that day too..waited about 2 hours to get in.. long line.. but was still among the first to get mine ^^an hour drive later, come home.. and it's go time X)

Nope. I got mine in August - wasn't that hard to find either. Wal-Mart had plenty but ebGames always was, and still is, out of stock.

I would've if I could've, but they were all out. I didn't realize that the demand would be that high... thought most of the hardcore gamers were going for the PS3, and that the casual gamers wouldn't be in a rush. Boy was I wrong.
