PS3 comes and goes at Costco.com

I checked Costco.com last night for the PS3 and it wasn't there. This morning, I should have checked earlier, but came across a link from dealnews.com that Costco would start selling the PS3 online at 8 AM PST. It was already 8:25 when I saw it. I was able to get online and see the price -- $699 for the PS3 with 60 GB drive & wireless model, 1 game, and 1 additional controller. A better deal than the $1079 bundle at Fry's which comes with 8 games. Anyway, I tried for a while but was never able to place an order and soon after costco.com became inaccessible. After about an hour, they were sold out. I guess we could try to find one at the local Costco, but I have no way of knowing if they actually have any and I think at this point I'd rather wait until there are plenty of them and the price isn't inflated.
