I have just visited two stores ,in one there was nobody ,in the other two people were taking their PS3 and paying it .Each bought an additional controller and two games ,one bought Resistence and Genji ,the other Call of Duty 3 and other I couldnt see .There was very little expectacion .I asked the store dependents about if it was possible to buy the PS3 ,but they told me everything was prereserved ,they told me also that they would receive more consoles in 7-10 days and that they were making preorders for that as well .One old guy came and wanted to buy two PS3 but it was told he had to wait at least a week ... I havent picked up mine yet ,I have just returned from work ,its not even 1100 in the morning here ,most people are working and will pick up their console when they get out in the evening ,others with free day or students are already picking theirs . With enough consoles for everybody and launching in a labourable day ,with outside queing prohibited ,its normal that you dont see ques ...its not an european phenomenon in any case .
