No doubt they will be as fair as possible, but demand will be incredible.

True. I'm wondering what the annoucements at the Tokoyto Game Show will be about the ps3. I know that one of them would have to be about the online network, showing what the interface will look like. I've heard the other annoucement might be about a price cut. I know for sure that the ps3 is on track for launch so no delays. Maybe the other annoucement will be about preorders. I would guess that preorders would take place in September sometime. We would have to preorder in September.

I think TGS will show us everything we don't already know. It's the last opportunity Sony have to wow the trade side of things before they start advertising to the public.

I expect some exciting stuff, and considering I recently posted here that I felt almost indifferent to the PS3, I am beginning to get that "can't wait" feeling..!

September......I think I can agree on that.
According to EBGames, they tell me "sometime in September" for PS3 pre-orders.

September has to be the month for ps3 preorders. The Tokoyto Game Show runs in late September, but if Sony doesn't allow for preorders before that time, it gives them more time to think about how many consoles each territory gets. I'm thinking that Sony is going to address "avoiding a console shortage" issue. 2 million seems like a low amount, but then again some of us don't want to spend $500.00 to $600.00 on the console so it should be enough. A price cut might be announced. Other then the network interface, Sony still has to reveal the mystery item that will allow us to use our ps1 and ps2 memory cards. All eyes are on the Tokoyto Game Show. I know the ps3 will do well on launch day, despite what some might say.

Well now that it's September, any news on where the PS3 can be preordered?

October is what I keep hearing.

I've never heard of such a small and narrow timeframe for preorders. One month only before a simultaneous worldwide launch?

It's only the first of the month, but I will keep you posted on anything that I hear.

I know I'm a bit anxious aren't I? Thanks though.
