Is it fear of not getting one ? Or just the atmosphere of the event ? Or just impatience ? I preordered around the 13th August in Gamestop in Parkway, Limerick. Went in a few weeks ago when I read the tweet on their forums about everyone guaranteed a console on launch if they preordered before the end of August. Manager confirmed it after ringing their PR guy. I wonder is this really true or just what they hope will happen ?

The Seagate 8gb SSHD seems to be quite limited at the moment with the amount of flash memory and its 5400 speed .The fact that the HGST is 7200 speed will give you more consistant results. I think I will just wait till the new drives become availible in the new yr. Heres a 16gb nand drive,http://www.ebay.com/itm/Western-Digital-1TB-SDHC-HDD-SSD-Hybrid-16GB-NAND-WD10J12X-Laptop-Hard-Drive-/281201174770?pt=US_Solid_State_Drives&hash=item4178e568f2

Aside from that queueing early in Tescos and/or Argos seems to be the way to go as they are not taking preorders (though nobody seems to be able to get a straight answer out of them about what stock they are getting and when)
