[PS3] PlayStation 3 Discussion Thread

I have it I have it I have it! XD

IT'S A PLAYSTATION THREEEEEEEE!!!! *pump his punch in the air like a crazy boy*

*cough *cough* well seriously the thing is HUGE!!! XD but so beautiful XD lol well I didn't play much on it I just finish configuring my wireless connection and I'm already download the first software update XD

and my EBgames was giving a free blu-ray disk too (not the one that come in the box, another one) and I got "the Fifth Element" sweet XD

I'll be back with more new ^^ (god the remote is even lighter than I though it would be XD)

How ya doing, buddy?

Grats on being the second NA owner on GFF (that's posted, anyway).

Right now the system is downloading the update file. I'm just glad that it works (I had some trouble figuring out how to turn it on; I found the little button, and it lit up before my finger even touched it. neat). 28% right now.



There's nowhere I can't reach.

heh heh... could not resist.

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

Why is it comin later to Europe, than the other countrys?!?!?!?!?

I was speaking idiomatically.

Ahaha. Treasure it? Come on now. PORTS ARE FUN.

Oh well, unless eBay prices drop off there is no way that keeping this thing to play Tony Hawk and EA Sports titles is going to be worth the price of admission.

Honestly now. The games available right this second are making me not want to keep this thing. You guys have the next 5 posts to convince me to not sell it.

(I'll be making another line waiting entry shortly. 32 hours is FUN.)

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Glad the Penny Arcade sword cuts both ways... I really enjoyed reading the news post accompaning this comic, as it took the words right of my mouth regarding the BIG game franchises that will hit the system SOME day. Any FF or MGS fanboy who pays 600 bucks now, for the first (apparently flawed) edition of the console and then waits a year or so for the titles he's made this purchase for ... I don't know, I think that's pretty detached to say the least.

FELIPE NO

Just finished setting up my Playstation Store account. Took a long while inputting all my information without a usb keyboard (which I could hook up, but I didn't want to spend too much time figuring out how to install new accessories). Setting up my IP address was ridiculously easy though.

I couldn't resist, so I'm downloading the Motorstorm demo right now. 7% done.

This common reasoning is based on the notion that the launch systems are flawed. I'm not denying it's a possibility (although things are working fine right now), but assuming it runs flawlessly, I don't see what the problem is in buying a pricey system now versus one you'll buy later on anyway. I personally wanted to see what Sony had in store for PS3, even if it was just a fraction of what the system had to offer. Just messing around with the extra features (Blu Ray, Online games, etc) was enough incentive for me while waiting for the "real" PS3 games to arrive.

Speaking of which, I believe the games will follow the same pattern that the PS2 did, with the first stellar titles hitting around March (Motorstorm), to the really good games hitting summer (DMC4, White Knight Story), and then the first true next gen game around fall or winter (MGS4).

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

so apparently a friennd of mine works at a video game store and they got NO ps3s. people who already reserved one are shit-out-of-luck, and will get one later of course, but still...after the release date. D:

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Also, I can't wait to see what comes out of the "Other OS Install" feature. QJ.net has a link to a downloadable DVD of Linux, but they mentioned to be cautious with the download. I'll wait until some brave soul gives it a try before I start downloading things into my new system.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

well I finished all configuring my ps3 like I want it and will wait a little before downloading a demo (it take still some time to download them XD)

only thing that could bothers me is that the ps3 seem hot right now... I just hope it will not cause over-heating problem...

well it's not the ps3 itself that is hot, but just the air that she's blowing out XD

Most amazing jew boots

It's supposed to be like that, based on what I read. That's just the heat blowing out of the top vent. This is to prevent overheating, apparently.

Motorstorm is at 32% right now. I should've done this download during lunch or something. I have no interest in purchasing either of the online games right now, unless impressions are favorable.

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

well, congrats to those who did get one, I hope you do enjoy it, but please, I just hope you're not like this loser who's quote I just read:

Nathaniel Lord, who camped out for three nights at a Best Buy in West Hollywood, Calif., spent more than $700 on a console and a game.

"I thought about going home to shower first because I haven't showered in three days, but I think I'm just going to get another energy drink, log on and get started," said Lord, a recent graduate of California Institute of the Arts.

How ya doing, buddy?

For the record, if I couldn't reserve this system ahead of time like I did, I absolutely would never camp out like these other people. If you have the time and dedication to do something like that (even if your chances are still slim), then I admire your strong will as much I am certain that I don't have it.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

I had one reserved so I didn't had to wait in line XD anyway there was no line so I just enter paid and return home with my new ps3 XD

but yeah I would probably not have camped out for it...

Most amazing jew boots

I won't lie; a part of me feels pretty proud and smug that I managed to nab a system without putting up with what most of the other people are going through, and I also feel pretty smug being one of an extremely few who owns the system now (I feel like Marty when he went to the future to nab that sports almanac and took it back to the past).

But I do feel bad for the people who just wanted to buy this system to actually keep and play it. I feel bad for the GS employee who sold me the system today, mentioning how he was pissed that his reserve was canceled. I'm truly grateful that the simplest option worked out for me, and grateful to my sister for reserving it for me while I was at work.

57%. If there isn't an option to do other things on the PS3 while downloading, then I hope Sony updates that soon.

How ya doing, buddy?

The real thing I wanted to see is the Riots for the PS3. I'm so gonna take a day off of work to go see the riots at Best Buy etc.. Yeah, I might get one not on release date, but maybe later on when the fire dies down.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Hopefully the reports of 100k units each week hold true. I remember reading a similar claim for the PS2, but I don't remember if they actually held that promise. I really want these poor bastards to be able to buy a system soon, if only so I'll have more competition online. I have a feeling I'll be lucky to find even 5 people to play with in Resistence. :/

The download finally finished, it's installing now. I'm pretty excited to try this out.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

I know the launch of the PS3 has already past, but these guys are just assholes

Seriously, So the Best Buy has 26 PS3s goin on sale, only 4 of them are keeping their PS3. The remaining 22? Going straight on eBay. Seriously, I hope nobody buys their shit. What an asshole-like thing to do.

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

If you think that's bad smashmyps3.com has just put up that they have got their PS3 and smashed. Video's and pics will be up within this week.

Well yeah, but that's just 1. When the majority of the PS3s at Best Buy are going on eBay, that's a different story. I think the percentage was like 85% being resold.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Yeah, it sure is an asshole thing to do alright! Shame on you for taking advantage of capitalism and turning a quick profit by exploiting stupid soccer moms who bend to the every whim of their aggrivating 8 year old. You should let that 8 year old play his expensive Tony Hawk port! Kick ASS.

FELIPE NO

I really have to wonder if anyone will even buy those ebayed PS3s. So many tried doing that in Japan and it hasn't been going so well. The same could happen over here..

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

a friend of mine sold his preorder and got his 2200 bucks on paypal the next day.

So I'd say that yeah, they are selling.
