The funny part is when people pitch tents outside of stores and stay there for more than one day. I can't believe people actually do that. I don't claim to have the most action-packed life, nor would I want an action-packed life. I'm actually quite reserved and low key. But I don't have that kind of free time to sit outside a store for 2 days in a fucking tent. I have a job to work, I have things to do, etc. Maybe if it was something like a pair of Superbowl tickets I could do it. But the PS3 reships every few weeks. You'll eventually get one.
I never understood the frenzy to have to get things RIGHT away. That isn't even including people who resell them. The people who don't resell them, sometimes get the system and don't even buy games for it. They just want it to brag to their online friends, and have it just to have it. Again, maybe it's just me. I've always been patient with things like that. I'd understand if it is a kid, but when you see these 35 year olds waiting in tents, I lose respect for society. Just imagine your dad or someone of that age waiting outside of a store for 2 days in a tent for a video game system. To me it is disgraceful. People need to seriously grow up. There's nowhere I can't reach.

People boycotting auctions??? How are people not bidding on your thing going to prevent you from selling to the ones that will?
This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

No, you don't understand. People will boycott the auctions by bidding on them with recently created ebay accounts to high prices. It really isn't difficult to understand what's going to happen here. People will simply bid with absolutely no intention on purchasing the product listed, just to ruin the PS3 auctions for others.
It happened for the 360. I'm just assuming it'll happen again, except there's so much hype for the PS3, it's just bound to happen. Also: http://cgi.ebay.com/Playstation-3-Pr...QQcmdZViewItem I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

I hope Sony do everything they can to prevent the reselling of PS3s on Ebay. It's morally a pretty low thing to do but I'm even more surprised there aren't some sort of laws in place that prohibit this practice. I'm not certain but I mean I don't think it's legal to say round up as many PS3s as you can on launch day and then sell them out the back of your van downtown with a 500% markup. I just feel bad for the honest parents hoping to put a PS3 under the christmas tree and having to pay some shithead who's too lazy to work for a living like the rest of world.
I was speaking idiomatically.  You're staring at me like I just asked you what the fucking square root of something. |

  Anyone else as impressed by the first sets of boxart as I am? I'm digging the higher quality fonts and extra space at the top. I can't wait to see what some of the bigger games will pull (MGS, FF). I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

The Motorstorm box art is pretty cool, it's certainly going to catch the eye more than the Japanese one. The Ridge Racer one fits really well with the side bar, but it just seems so depressing for a game that's about impossible powerslides, helicopters at every single turn and goofy announcers talking about rolling in jelly or whatever for no reason when you pull into the lead.
There's also NBA with its useless huge 1080p logo. I hope this doesn't become standard, leave that shit for the back of the box. =\  I was speaking idiomatically. |

Oh god please dont let the PS3 be all about sport and driving sims like the XBOX360 is. My housemates both have 360's and I constantly have to sit and watch them play Tiger Woods or stupid Table Tennis on them. I hate sports sims!!!! I REALLY HATE THEM! If we wanted to play sports, we would go outside and play them damn it.
On a different note, I think the PS3 has shot itself in the foot by charging so much and putting the release back again. By that point, christmas is gone and people have either bought 360's or Wii's. No money left for the P£3. Its too expensive, and its too late. Oh and I have yet to see a release game that looks at all appealing. Sony really have dropped the ball this time, lets juat hope there are enough fan boys to keep the system afloat, because I smell some serious trouble for the Sony guys, I think Bill Gates may have won this round, as the 360 is just alot more successful, hell even im considering buying one, and I hated the X-Box. I am hoping for something good to come out of the release of the PS3, but at the moment, Sony arent getting my loyalty, because im not spending £60 on a game, that borders on insane. Sorry Sony, you lose for now. Most amazing jew boots  |

Did you just wake up after a month-long coma? Every EB/GS store in America sold out of pre-orders day one. And if it's $60 a game for the 360, what makes you think software sales will be any worse for the PS3? They're charging the same amount, you know.
The 360 can't techincally be considered a success yet, because it hasn't had any next-gen competition.

Remember, things in UK and US are slightly different. Most 360 games are £34.99 here in places like Game and Gamestation.
Oh and my buddy who works in a big Game store in Birmingham said that when they announced pre-orders for the PS3, they didnt sign one up until 4 days after it was started, and to this day they are still in single figures. Its a matter of opinion though dude, I didnt mean to sound offensive or anything, just stating my thoughts on the console. Do you honestly think that the PS3 is going to do as well as the 360? Look at the way it has gone thus far, it is still difficult to get hold of 360's because more and more people are falling for its charm, where as the PS3 just hasnt got the hype it needs. Only people who are really really interested in the console know about it, but the general joe public dont even know there is another Playstation coming out. I think that Sony have failed on many accounts with the PS3, the price, the advertising and the release titles, nothing seems to be tempting enough to pull in the average joe. How ya doing, buddy? |

The 360 hasn't really even had a next gen game yet. DOA4, Saint's Row... what bullshit. The things barely look better then current gen and the stupid white brick can still barely handle them.
On the PS3 front at launch or launch window titles are; Resistance Ridge Racer Full Auto 2 Genji 2 Assasin's Creed MotorStorm WarHawk Non of which are sports sims (which I also hate with passion), and all of which are superior to any 360 game to date. Then further down the road you have; MGS4 8 Days Coded Arms UnrealTournament 2007 Final Fantasy XIII/VS XIII Virtua Fighter 5 KillZone Heavenly Sword Tekken 6 Mercenaries 2 White Knight's Story No... Sony hasn't lost it. And if you break it down, yes you are paying more for a PS3, but believe me. When you look at what you pay to what you get between the three systems, you get more with Sony, so it's not like you're not getting what you're paying for. Also further on the 360 front, after spring '07 you're not going to be seeing much for the 360 other then maybe Halo 3 in November... at best. I'm afraid that Microsoft has put all their eggs in one basket. Sure it might look to have more interesting titles around the Wii & PS3 launch, but if I've learned anything it's that some things are simply as they seem, and from here Microsoft just hasn't payed enough mind to the future and are going to be releasing everything around the same time. Jam it back in, in the dark.

??? Thoes arn't sports sims!!!
Ridge Racer is futuristic cars doing physically impossible drifts. Full Auto 2 is racing with guns, do I need to explain this one? MotorStorm is possible, too bad it's not a sim, but an arcade racer. Man, learn how to read before you go bashing something that you either don't understand or can't comprehend. This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it. |

Anyway, I guess it's just going to come down to me buying a PS3 when Metal Gear comes out. Damnit. I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?
Love it.

The 360 has sports titles as well. Granted, I wasn't impressed either. But most console launches these days also come with a couple of sports titles. It's just the way it goes. I was speaking idiomatically. |

I think "sims" was the word in question he was defending. Arcade style versus Simulator style. The line between the two these days is becoming a tad bit thin though. But you can still tell the difference between Gran Tourismo and Ridge Racer. Or, say, Pangya Golf or WiiSports Golf versus Tiger Woods Golf.
