rumor.gif[I'm gonna go ahead and update this here and say that pre-orders will most likely happen closer to Monday than Friday. We've had a couple of comments here and over at kotaku some seemingly informed sources that say the meeting will begin on Monday and run through the next few days. So while the info may come to light on Friday, it's more likely the stores will get all their shit together and then take the reserves. I'd expect to hear something early next week.]
Maybe possibly we may hear some potential information about reserves sometime on Friday. How do I know this? I went to my local Gamestop this afternoon, and they were hanging up signs for the Wii and PS3. So I figured I’d throw the question out there. “Any news on taking reserves?”

The manager tells me there’s a manager/owners meeting in Texas on Friday where they’ll find out how many units each store is getting, so if there’s to be pre-orders it should happen soon thereafter. It’s unconfirmed of course (except for the meeting, I did confirm that with another Gamestop) but what the hell, we’ll throw it out there and see what happens. She’s never flat out lied to me before, so maybe this is how it’s going to shake out. We’ll see.
