Ok, i know....i should have pre-ordered.....but, whats the best place to buy a PS2 Network Adapter, if i didnt pre-order one?

Im thinking Wal-Mart, CompUSA, Kay-Bee, Best Buy, Circuit City....I believe all those places took no pre-orders.....

Don't believe the hype, there will be plenty of adapter at those stores you mention come thursday and friday.

Somebody asked this in the EB I was in just a few minutes ago. The clerk told him not to worry, that there were plenty on top of the ones that had already been reserved.

when's the offical release day? I thought it was yesterday.

I just went by my local best buy today, the biggest on in our metro area,(Oak Park) and the guy there said they hoped to get 40 in tonight but he couldn't promise.

I got a call today from EB and they said most stores got less adaptors than they thought and my pre-order was no good because they are selling them on a first-come, first-serve basis.

I had pre-ordered it with EBgames and was told yesterday that my Adapter was in process for shipping, but when I called them today they said that I wouldn't get it until the 14th of September.

I went over to Best Buy around noon time to see if they had any left and got lucky.

They just told me mine was shipping today and it would show up friday.

I picked one up at Best Buy today during lunch.

At Software Etc., I got lucky - they got 3 more adapters than there were preorders.

my best buy said it will go on sale tomorrow...how are other stores able to sell them?

3 stores around me were sold out and my preorder at eb was no good because they had no more. I guess I gotta wait.

Got lucky and Supr Software in my neighborhood got more, and I got one! The setup was very easy - everything was automatic! I just played Madden a little while ago and noticed some lag, but not much.

Well I got screwed by We Make It Up As We Go Along Bulls--t Best Buy Policy #27,764 - which reads:

"We can only release 10 of the adapters on Wednesday, but we have to hold all of the rest until Thursday because that is what our ad states as the release date."

Either release them all or none at all - don't give me this crap about you can "only" release 10 - as if that is some written store policy.

i dont know about my best buy i have 2 near me, loooks like i have to come into work a little later, i plan to go tomorrow. i wonder if Circuit City has them in stock?

They're probably doing this to create the illusion of high demand. More people will have to get them if they think they're in high demand.

I did this too. They had 3 left when I got mine, leaving two. I talked to a guy in line as I was checking out. He preordered from EB too. He said they called him, and told him his preorder would be void and he'd have to wait until the next shipment.

I picked it up at best buy on my lunch today too. They must of had a bunch since I counted 6 people in line when I walked in buying them.

Please Please Please Capcom make your fighting games available online with this thing.....i want one but as of now theres no point...yay we can play more FPS with an inferior controller setup. Weve been doing this for the past 10 years on a PC, we need some online console games

After going to Best Buy (sold out) EB, Gamestop, CompUSA(said they didn't go on sale yet) and Circuit City (Huh? There are adapters for PS2... you must be wrong. Oh, and SOCOM doesn't come out til December), I found that Media Play had a few left, and I snagged one.

Woo Hoo! Time to play!!

What prices are you guys paying?

I paid $39.99 - BTW I went to Best Buy at 6:45 PM my time and they had 5 of them. I don't know how many they started with or when they got 'em, but that's pretty good odds here in Denver!

A little off topic, but all this "our pre-orders are void" stuff would really piss me off.

I mean, I understand if it was a screw-up and they didn't get enough, but I would hazard a guess that they just take as many pre-orders as they can, and if they fill them all, great...and if not, oh well.

Seems to me that a pre-order should be a reservation on the game. I mean after all, you are promising to take your business to that particular store if they promise to deliver the merchandise. Makes me wary about doing pre-orders, at least with EB. I've usually had better luck just walking into a store on release day anyway.

Just my little rant

OK, I went back this morning to Best Buy right at 10am. About 15-20 people waiting at the door, and BB probably had about 20-25 adapters.

ok, seems like i missed the boat on the ps2 adapters. every store in my area is out of them.

what is the best online place to get one as early as possible?
