GameStop and EB Games will begin accepting limited pre-orders for the PS 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, so it is recommended you call your local store first. A $100 reservation deposit is required, which can be funded with cash, credit or trade, which does not guarantee receipt of a system available to purchase at launch.
