"Limited PlayStation 3 Pre-order
GameStop and EB Games will begin accepting limited pre-orders for the PlayStation 3 console on Tuesday, October 10, on a first come, first served basis. Due to extremely limited supply, we expect to deplete this allocation very quickly, most likely in minutes. We will not accept additional pre-orders at this time. To avoid an unnecessary trip we strongly recommend you call your local store to determine availability. A $100 reservation deposit is required, which can be funded with cash, credit or trade. As we cannot control production and shipping issues by the manufacturer, a reservation deposit does not guarantee receipt of a system available to purchase at launch. Reservations/Purchases are limited to 1 per household.

Our limited online pre-order program will be announced at a later date, after software and accessory availability dates are confirmed. Online product pricing and availability will vary and will be fulfilled independent of store reservations."

- Despite the gaming community at large generally adopting "Dual Shake" as the name of the new PS3 controller, Sony have called it "Sixaxis", for obvious reasons, (that is "six degrees of freedom" if you haven't heard yet.)
- As we know, the rumble-less controller works in Bluetooth wireless mode and USB wired. Japan will get them for ¥5,000 ($42).
- Also announced were the PSX/PS2 memory card to PS3 adaptor to copy data to PS3's hard drive for ¥1,500 ($13) and a Blu-ray/DVD remote for ¥3,600 ($31), both also available at launch.
- Check for pics.

- Check out what the PS3 Demo Kiosks look like. They should be popping up in stores sometime soon-ish one would hope.
- This is in a Japanese store and notice that you can only watch the demos/video, not acually pickup a controller and play.
