The more I think about the way Sony handled the last 24 hours, the more disappointed with them i am. I feel like both Sony and Microsoft have done an abysmal job generating pre-system launch hype, but to barely announce the price, release date, and preorder date a handful of hours before secretly crapping out the preorders at some arbitrary time in the middle of the night is crazy to me. I get that I'm not in their target demographic age wise any more, but to not even give people with normal schedules a chance is insane. I can't think of any major electronic launch that has ever been handled like this. Was this just to try and hide how truly limited the launch quantities are? If they are that limited, just delay the freaking launch. You're not going to somehow stop people from buying the other system if you don't have any available for sale.
