Who's taking Pre Orders?

Not sure if I should be as twisted as I am over retailers not taking Pre-Orders for the PS3. On one hand, I realize they are trying to avoid the fiasco that was the 360 launch, but on the other, I'm not crazy about having to stand in line for 10+ hours prior to launch only to MAYBE get my hands on one. Couldn't the retailers just take smaller quantities of Pre-Orders? If anyone knows where you can pre-order please share.
Doug note: I am hearing that October 2nd is the magic pre-order day. It's the day that GameStop goes over their final pricing and launch schedule.
Victor note: You'll probably have better luck buying a Wii, then using the nunchuk to bludgeon PS3 buyers as they emerge from GameStop and steal their consoles. During the mayhem that's sure to accompany the PS3 launch, I doubt anyone will notice.
Marc note: I've contacted several Gamestop stores as well as EB Games in the Metroplex and "the experts" at every store told me the same thing...they will not be taking pre-orders. If anyone gets more info, feel free to comment here.
