GameStop president Tony Bartel believes the figures prove that the public is ready for a new generation of consoles.

"With only a glance at the PS4, gamers are excited and eager to know more," Bartel stated.

"Within just a few weeks, more than 600,000 people have signed up, showing strong demand for this new console."

Nice. I'm still waiting on more news for the PS4, but I hope pre-ordering doesn't mean I have to wait in line for a couple of days at midnight just to get one. Although it probably will.

If you pre-order from GS your guaranteed the console. You can go in at any time within 2 days of the release and pick it up no need to wait in line.

I dont understand why they must wait until we get a finalized price. Just do a 50 or 100 dollar deposit. We all know it will cost more than that.

I signed up as soon as it popped up.

You already can in the UK. I placed a £20 deposit for it at GAME after the reveal.

I thought lots of places would start taking pre orders if it means money in the tills. But a lot of places are srtill holding out.

My only guess is they would prefer to wait until they know the launch price so they can get more paid in full pre orders. More paid in full orders = fewer cancelled pre orders.

IDE say less than 50% of the people on the list will actually buy in on day1.

God I love my fiance.

All I did was mention that the PS4 was out at the end of the year and she went and signed me up at Gamestop for preorder notification!

PS4 here I come! Best xmas present ever!

Yes or at least it should. Preorder orders are always put in with the manufactures by the store early so there is enough stock on hand to cover them. Any cancelled preorders just get added to store stock.

When do you think GameStop will start taking pre-orders?

Probably when they know price and stock allocation.
