Amazon Predicts PS3 Shortages, Limits Preorders

[Break]

Preorder limits have also been imposed in the U.K., although their supply situation apparently isn't quite as desperate as ours: In order to ensure that everybody gets a PS3 Slim, Amazon.co.uk is limiting preorders per household to a maximum of five [http://www.amazon.co.uk/Sony-PlayStation-Console-120GB-Model/dp/B002L16JXS/ref=amb_link_84607953_1?pf_rd_m=A3P5ROKL5A1OLE&pf_rd_s=auto-sparkle&pf_rd_r=10C9EJ9S7JYV5J99RNB4&pf_rd_t=301&pf_rd_p=471503593&pf_rd_i=ps3%20slim].

Only five per household? How barbaric! Even if I only put a PS3 in one of my living rooms, I still won't have enough. Whatever am I to put in the other four guest bedrooms? And what are my dozens of maids going to do in their off time? Simply unacceptable.
