If you were one of the lucky few who ordered a PS3 at Best Buy's website...guess what? They fucked up. "Best Buy never intended for customers to preorder a PS3 on its website, and so all those orders have been canceled by the retailer. As compensation for the mistake, Best Buy will be giving US$10 coupons to those folks who preordered the system" Ha HA HAHA HA, geeks. Enjoy your ten bucks.

Here’s the response customers got from BestBuy.com:

Our system was not intended to take pre-orders on the PlayStation 3 gaming system. BestBuy.com will not be taking pre-orders for this item.
