Nobody's taking pre-orders yet. Everyone got burned by taking speculative pre-orders for the Xbox 360, so this time around they're waiting for confirmed allotments from Sony before opening up the pre-orders. Since Sony has had problems with actually manufacturing PS3s, I wouldn't expect them to know store allotments until a week or two before ship.
If you really must have a PS3, your best bet is to camp out in line. However keep in mind that Sony is only bringing 400,000 consoles to North America (that's both US and Canada), so I wouldn't expect to see more than 30-40 consoles per store in larger areas, maybe 5-10 consoles per store in less populated areas, and 0-5 in remote areas.
My suggestion? Wait it out. Come summer of 2007, you'll surely be able to buy PS3s everywhere (though the price will still be outrageous at $500/600). There's nothing compelling enough for me to spend a weekend in line at a Best Buy, especially in the winter (rainy, cold).

Undetermined at the moment.
It has been said by the Sony Press Release that the 20GB(or was that 30GB) would be cheaper in Japan.
