Did you pay for a Playstation 2 already?

Did you pay for a Playstation 2 already? I did, through Kay-Bee online, and I better get one, though half of the expected US launch will not arrive on Oct. 26th.
My Dvd player got ripped off last year and I decided to wait for this box too cover all my bases and eliminate unecessary hardware from the house. One year later I am hurting waiting for this to come out. My chipped playstation is almost petered out and I have a small stack of DVD that I cannot bear to watch while sitting infront of a cpu. HURRY!

If it's any consol(e)ation (sorry, bad loke but I couldn't resist...), it's the same story in the UK, I queued on Sept. 7th in my local PS retailer (Electronics Boutique) for an hour like the kid behind the counter told me the day before.
When I got to the front of the queue I was told I couldn't put my name on the Sony list if I wasn't on their list which was started in January. So I have no idea when I'll get my hands on one, but I'm damned sure it won't come from Electronics Boutique.
The question has been raised by a few gaming friends of mine as to whether Sony was, as they say, trying to avoid the situation they had in Japan where retailers had queues of people disappointed or whether it's just a way to delay the launch and create a bigger demand among a hotly contested and valuable market sector (second hand Dreamcast anyone?).
