[PS3] PlayStation 3 Discussion Thread

Those Burbank losers got kicked out. They deserve it too, because they are examples of what is wrong with the video game world. People have become too hooked on video games anymore. Those are the type of losers that kill themselves when someone steals their special weapons in an MMORPG.

Quit your job over a video game system? Learn your frickin priorities. What losers.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

I called my local stores and they won't give me jack on how many total units they are getting and the premium to core ratio.

Any idea how to get something out of them or do they really not know?

Don't all stores have them in the back by now?

It is important I know, because I'm not going to go to a store if I can only get a core.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Sigh... I can't compete with these losers. I called a local Best Buy and the guy said the same 4 cars were parked in the parking lot since sunday. He said he wasn't sure but he's guessing that they are waiting in their cars until they see people start to go set up shop, then they will get their spot.

Oh well, if you can't compete with em, you gotta cheat. I'm going up there to scout later tonight and if there are people in their cars waiting then I'm just going to have to cut in line. Sounds like an asshole thing to do but let's face it. It is every man for themselves.

I agree. Not everyone here is going to agree with our methods, but I don't care. I want a PS3 bottom line, and I'm not going to let some loser who has no life and can sit out there in their car for 8 days outdo me because they have no priorities. The lines aren't official until tickets are given out anyway.

I'll cut in line if I have to. Every man for themselves.

I was speaking idiomatically.

Need your guys help in a decision about the PS3. I have a connect who might be able to get me a PS3. For $600 of course, but he might be able to get his hands on one for me. In short, my cousin works with a company(big big company) who Best Buy is the official sponser of and asked someone high up in the company to contact Best Buy and ask them to put one of their premiums aside for him so he could give it to me.

But the thing is he told my cousin that he won't know until sometime late thursday night whether or not they can do it. He contacted someone in the Best Buy chain and they said they'd get back to him. By then it will be too late to head out and get one myself because the lines will be packed.

So, should I wait it out? Do you think the Best Buy people would pull strings for a man high up in a company that Best Buy sponsors?

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

What a frickin disgrace. All stores here from Best Buy to Target have 30 people outside them. I won't be getting one looks like because I can't compete with these losers who are skipping SCHOOL to get a god damn video system.

It is sickening what society has turned into. It is no wonder people kill themselves over video games. People have become too reliant on this stuff. It runs their god damn lives.

They did a special on the local news and some 15 year old kid was out there with his mother since tuesday, letting him skip an entire week of school for a video game system. Horrible parent. Absolute disgrace.

It just sickens me to see what this world is turning into and makes me insanely angry that people are willing to quit their jobs, and drop out of school for video games. Where the hell are these kid's parents? Hurting their future so they can brag online that they got a launch PS3.

FELIPE NO

I care a whole heck of a lot. Because it tells me what the priorities in this country are today. People don't care about education or the state of the things that really matter in this country. All they care about are video games and their little toys. Do I care about the individuals? No. But you can't deny what it means in the bigger picture of today's society.

Seriously, just think about it. Kids are willing to fail college exams and fail an entire class, just to get a PS3. Does that not say bad things about this society? If it were only a few people in line then it wouldn't matter, but there are thousands of people in line all over the country. People quitting jobs, skipping school. Not only that but their parents are letting them.

And people wonder why kids grow up to be such nutjobs. It all goes back to the parents. Would you let your kid skip an entire week of school to get a video game system? Hurting his or her future for a toy? Again, it isn't the waiting in line that annoys me, it is what people are sacrificing to do it. I'd never think anyone would quit their jobs for a PS3 until I read that Burbank story. I never thought someone would flunk an entire class in college until I heard this local news report.

Ha. It would be funny I'd say that. But it is going to pour here tonight through tomorrow anyway, so looks like they'll be getting soaked anyway.

But to wait outside for 3 or 4 days you risk getting fired from your job or may have to quit which makes the short-term profit good, but dreadful long-term.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Are they fixing these issues with the second shipment?

There's nowhere I can't reach.

I believe the correct phrase is lost in translation. Just kidding, but that is my favorite movie nonetheless.

Campers, stores are getting robbed of PS3s and money for PS3s all across america. As long as people aren't getting hurt, I'm loving it. Nothing like some nerd waiting outside for 3 days and not being able to get one.

Haha, suckers.

I know, I'm an asshole.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

Smashmyps3.com is the best. The reason I love it is because of that loser who waited in line and got nothing. Priceless. Good job wasting 18 hours of your life and walking away with nothing. On second thought... if you can afford to waste 18 hours of your life, your time must be worthless to begin with.

WOOOOOOOOOOO

I was speaking idiomatically.

Anyone here work at an EB or a Gamestop by any chance?

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Nevermind, I no longer need to ask the question.

I got myself a PS3 today though. A 60 giger. Didn't hook it up yet but looking forward to it.

FELIPE NO

Ugh I was looking at my PS3 box today and a section of the bottom is all scrunched in and it tore a bit so I can see the inside of the box slightly. I have a feeling the damn system isn't even going to work when I hook it up. I can't hook it up yet because I have to organize and move some things around but it looks like something rammed up on the botton of the box. Or a section of it anyway.

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

Slayer X: I attached some pics. Maybe it is just me, you tell me or not. I do have a slight case of OCD so I get paranoid about this stuff sometimes.





Those are two pics I took with my low budget camera.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

I hooked up my PS3 and boy does that thing get fingerprints and stuff on it very easily.

Resistance is very cool though.

I couldn't find a Resistance thread anywhere, but I was wondering if anyone played it online. I just started a week or so ago but it would be cool if I could play with some of you guys. I do good in close quarters combat matches, but I suck bad at sniping.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.
