Toy retail giant Toys "R" Us is apparently gearing up for PlayStation 3 and Revolution preorders. A mole working at a Canadian store informed us that starting this Friday, consumers could reserve either the Nintendo or Sony console for a $50 CDN deposit. There's no official word on price for either system — the store's supplier jokingly said close to one grand for the PlayStation 3, however. The release dates are also up in the air, but Toys "R" Us has penciled in December 26th. "Probably a BS placeholder date," our mole says. The PS3 will be bundled with unannounced two games and an extra controller. If this is true and Toys "R" Us Canada is starting pre-orders this Friday, does that mean the same for the States? Stay tuned.
