$100 + EB Games/GameStop = PS3 (Maybe)
According to MSNBC, a $100 deposit on your PS3 pre-order will get you the solid satisfaction of knowing you could receive one of the overpriced consoles when they are eventually released.For that kind of security, I'd gladly pay $200.
Ha ha! No, actually I wouldn't. Read here:
NEW YORK - GameStop and EB Games stores are going to start accepting pre-orders for Sony’s PlayStation 3 game console on Tuesday, according to their Web sites.Due to “extremely limited supply,” the stores expect their allocations of what is perhaps the holiday’s season’s most eagerly anticipated gadget to run out in minutes.
A $100 deposit is required for each order, but even that won’t guarantee that a PlayStation 3 will be available when the console goes on sale on Nov. 17, according to the notices, because the stores have no control over production and shipping issues.

From what my brother told me yesterday, his EB store is only taking eight PS3 pre-orders and no more after that.
I also read that Sony is allowing retailers to sell units to their employees (1 per person).
So that means if Tom's store gets 8, and his 4 employees buy 1 each, then he's actually getting 4.
And his 4 employees are getting rich on eBay.
Knowing the people Tom works with and now and in the past, most would buy the system to play it. Tom is a PC gamer, so he's not getting one at this point.
