Wow...those graphics look like your basic X-box game.

 

 

Best part about that screenshot: You can see how one of the player's arms is clipping right through the other one's body.

Holy fucking shit.

I wonder which bid will actually end up being the winning bid on that first auction.

[EricMM 0]

So come on.

 

Did anyone get one?

 

Stories!

damn, some of these bids are crazy. Virtually all of them are hitting $2,000+

We only got 10 at my Target. One guy line cut and was chased off with a baseball bat

Best Buy strikes again. The ad in the paper said tickets would be handed out at 7am, but they handed them out last night around midnight. Much to the dismay of many people waiting outside the store at 7am.

After seeing all this ugliness first hand, I'd have to say the human race is not only officially retarded, but also I'd like to declare myself as disowning said species. I look forward to our benevolent otter overlords making some changes.

 

If Sony could pull another shipment out of their ass, they should sell 20 gigs for $900 bucks and 60s for $1000. There are clearly idiots willing to pay, and they could advertise it as a conscious, temporary effort to do away with ebay scalping.

 

If you keep the console for 90 days then you're eligible for a partial refund of the rest of the collateral. You'd have to access the Playstation Store with the console to get it.

They will break the PS3's on their tummies!!

 

 

Eh, couldn't find a picture of the SP otters in 30 seconds of looking.

It's like that episode of the Simpsons "You could have used the money you would have made working to get tickets from a scalper." Granted, you probably can't make $600 in the 12 hours or so it takes to stand in line, but geez, get a life already. You're freezing your BUTT off in line to possibly get to buy an overpriced video game system with hardly any good games out for it. Is your PS2 really so outdated that you have to get the next thing already?

 

Anyone else hear the story out today about the brilliant Wal-Mart manager who set up ten chairs, and had people RUN for the chairs in order to get to buy a PS3? One guy ran into a pillar and had to get stitches. Kind of serves him right, but I'm sure the manager is going to get fired over that one, too.

Got my bundle from Zellers. They didn't have the games they made me buy with it though

[Craig Th 0]

Soo does anyone else have it? How is it?

[Aero 0]

I did a preorder at FYE last June, but they didn't even get a single system in. As of yesterday, they have no idea when to expect any.

Ok that sucks but you got to wonder how funny that had to look.

I hope you don't take this as a PS3 flame. It's just funny:

The 2nd top selling Japanese PS3 game....!

 

Sucks!

HARD!

 

Bandai fails to even live up to their current pathetic standards of game quality.

I've never attempted to go one of these stores when the hot new system comes out, but what if you want to buy some answering machine cassettes or maybe a copy of 9 1/2 Weeks 2? Do you have to wait in line still?

 

And what about EB or Gamestop in the mall? Do the lines stretch throughout the mall, blocking the Lady Foot Locker and Pretzel Time?

[EricMM 0]

Not Auntie Anne's!!!

[Red Baron 0]

Nope, they still have to wait outside, and usually Mall Security will escort or have checkpoints to the EB or Gamestop location.

[bobobrazil1984 0]

looks like Resistance: Fall of Man is the only launch game worth a damn. I admit i didnt pay too much attention to it since it is a FPS, but looking at some screens/reviews I have to admit it does look pretty cool.

Um, what are you talking about?

 

There are no EB/Gamestop lines. They took the peoples' preorders, and the the folks who preordered picked them up/will pick them up at their convenience, except for the ones whose preorders weren't able to be filled because of supply cuts.

somehow I dont think Smashing a W!! will be as cool though, I mean, X Play tried to smash a Gamecube to death and the damn thing still worked way after the X Box and PS2 gave up. Nintendo builds smash-proof consoles! HAR!

[AndrewTS 0]

The GC is quite smashable; there was a Youtube vid (I think posted here) where a guy switched out his little brother's Gamecube with a broken one, then shortly afterwards smashed to bits but throwing it on a paved driveway and stomping on it. After the kid cried he told him it wasn't really his GC.

 

The Wii appears to be more fragile than the cube; of course, you'd think the DS is more fragile than it actually is, but it stands up to punishment well.

What?

 

I was just answering his question.

[Guest Hotbutter Spoontoaster]

- After today's PS3 launch in USA, president of SCEA Kaz Hirai said subsequent deliveries of PS3 consoles will be made to retailers in weekly basis.

 

- The PlayStation Network portal for US PlayStation was launched yesterday. Currently users can download 8 Blu-Ray movie trailers, 9 PS3 game trailers and 6 game demos from the network, and buy two e-Distribution games Blast Factor ($7.99) and Cash Guns Chaos DLX ($9.99).

 

- Two armed thugs attempted to rob a person in the PS3 waiting line at 3AM, in front of Walmart in Connecticut, USA. The victim refused to give up the money and the two men shot at the patron. The two robbers fled and the victim was taken to medical center in Worcester, and he was in good condition. Police were searching for the suspects.

 

- EB Games reported that two men stole five new PS3s console from the store in Englewood, USA, and fled the store. Police are searching for the suspects. Palmdale Super Walmart store was forced to shut down the store after a crowd of 75 - 100 PS3 seekers camped out got rowdy, in order to disperse the crowd who started running around inside the store. The customers began camping outside the story since Wednesday, one and a half days prior the launch.

I wonder if he still got the PS3.

I wonder if Sony would give him one if he didn't.

When JR says they're "Taken to a local medical facility" you know it's a fake injury...

[Lil' Bitch 0]

I'll wait for a game that I want, and the inevitable recalls to finish as well as a massive price drop since that's already a month's worth of rent money!
