Well I queued at midnight on the 23rd for my ps3 , when i got it back home from the shop (which was 25 miles away) it was dead , no lights, no power, no nothing, a complete dud.
I have to admit I was a bit disapointed at that ,as you could imagine.
I got a replacment no problem the next day (plenty of machines in stock)
my replacment seems to be ok, but to be honest it dosn't get used that much due to there being a serious lack of decent titles around
feel free to say "I told you so" a couple of months down the line when theres a price drop
