PS3: Fever Pitch Part II

«©NCSX» Another batch of Japanese PS3 consoles arrived today and we're shipping them out this afternoon. Please be advised that if you placed an order after 12:02PM on November 16, your order will ship on Monday or Tuesday of next week when the next batch arrives.


Please also note that next Thursday is Thanksgiving in the States. UPS will not be delivering on that day. If we're shipping the next batch on Tuesday and you wish to receive your order before the weekend, please select at least UPS 2nd Day Air to receive your order on Friday. Please note that UPS Ground packages will not be delivered on Friday. Based on past experience, we don't recommend shipping with USPS Express Mail during holiday weeks. They tend to botch things up and are unapologetic about it.

Last weekend, the Japanese waited...and waited on line for their PS3 consoles and the routine was replayed stateside. Europeans will get their chance to wait on line in March 2007. NCS didn't get any units from the U.S. launch but we'll update our customers if supplies are made available later.
