Amazon to the rescue! Seems most of the reviews are from people who didn't pre-order and had no luck finding them locally, but were able to score one from Amazon and be able to have it on Saturday (with that shipping speed of course).
Guess that's why Amazon wasn't taking backorders for the PS4. They will clean up with this for sure, since likely thousands, if not tens of thousands, didn't pre-order and were left out from getting one at their local B&M's. But lo and behold, they go online and see that Amazon has them in stock, which makes them insta-buy in fear that it will be out of stock again soon, and they think that if they don't act now they might be out of luck for months.
Smart move Amazon. :icon_thumright:
