Just got the PS3... as a result, I've sat in front of my t.v. with a couple of games (and watched the BluRay disc that came with it, Talladega Nights: Legend of Ricky Bobby).

My whole day is gone. It's after six, I've done nothing productive!



Yeah, it was a good day off after all!!!

I really did just luck out... I went to BestBuy to get a tv I had seen advertised, and noticed them placing PS3s on the floor surrounded by tables and games. You couldn't reach them, a guy was watching them and placing them where they needed to go. I asked, "Hey, are those for sale?" He said, "Yeah".

I couldn't believe it. These things are the hardest fucking things to get, and if you find one on EBay, of which there are many, they are at least $1500! I asked for one, he put my name on it on a sticky, and I was escorted to the checkout area. I asked if I could get two, he said one per customer. I was able to talk this kid into being a "customer", and I got another one!

Can you believe this shit?

please tell me you're smart enough to throw that joint on ebay?

jerseykrs said:

I would, but, one is for me, and the other is for my two boys who are just going to virtually explode when they open up their X-Mas present! It'll be a great day for them - I can hardly wait to give it to them! They have no clue!

June7 said:

alright, you def. get a pass for them then. What games??

Well, like I said, I comes with the Talladega Nights BluRay disc, and I got them the Gengi game.

For myself, I got the Need for Speed Carbon game, Resistance: Fall of Man, and EA Sports' Fight Night Round 3.

June7 said:

aaaaarghghhhhh

one minute im convinced im getting a 360 then i see a PS3 thread
and my life goes back to a turmoil.
I am soooo undecided its not fair.

how much fun are you having?

June7 said:

They're not going for anything on eBay. I bought 2 of them, along with a Wii, to resell on eBay. The Wii sold for about $700 (a $450 profit), but the PS3s aren't going for much more than I paid for them. I'm probably just going to take them back.

muirdo said:

360 is the way to go right now. Wait till summer for the PS3. The prices for the PS3 consoles will NOT drop (Sony is already losing money on them at $600), but they'll be many more games and blue-ray movies to choose from.
I'm waiting for Final Fantasy XIII.

How did you do it? Jack Bauer-style?

I gave him $10!!!

June7 said:

gooooo bribery.

PS3 is way over-hyped...

Bluray aint going nowhere and the games are all available on 360, and in some cases look better than the Ps3 versions...

Sony has sold you a lemon that aint going nowhere fast...360 and esp Wii is kicking its ass...

y do u think they dont go for much more on ebay? I see this going the way of the PSP, dead in a year or less.

I really should wipe that layer of dust off my 360...mmm nah i'll keep playing Wii!

To each his own... I'm enjoying mine. Oh, but one interesting thing about your post: Oh, there wasn't one. Nevermind.

Has anyone got a link for a SNES thread? That's the last one I bought...

xperience319 said:

Yeah, right. PS3 will be around a while, and it'll kick major ass in 6-8 months or so. It's the same exact thing that happened with the 360 last year. They're rushing it to market. I'll have a PS3, but only when there are more games available. When the 360 came out, there were only 2-3 games I was interested in playing. Now there are more than 100 360 games.
And my boyfriend is in line to get us a Wii right now, bless him.

Xagain said:

in about one year time, the numbers will show why Sony hasn't missed with the PS1, 2, or now the 3.

xperience319 said:

the PSP is anything but dead dude.

jerseykrs said:

uh huh dont trust someone who works in the industry and sees the figures day in and day out...

its dead...about to be buried...

i'd respect sony if they didnt rip every good idea Sega/Nintendo & M$ have had over the last 10 years...and then call it "new" and have the casuals fall for it..

Its like somebody saying "Oh i like that NEW song, 'when doves cry' by X cover artist"...when the original is oh-so superior...

Sony gaming is like McGaming for the masses...and im suprised to see Prince fans playing such cr*p...i spose we arent all looking for something diffrent and original then...

ZOMG the same game i played 10years ago looks better now! sheesh...

i think im going to wait for the PS3.
I'll stick with the company i know and trust.
Why do people with X-Boxes hate Sony so much?

xperience319 said:

Actually, the PSP is more powerful than the Nintendo DS.
And the PS3 is the most powerful of the 3 systems.


The reason why I prefer the DS is the game titles, and the way Nintendo approached the DS. Instead of emulating their console, they understood it was a portable, and thus needed to provide a different experience from what you get on the main system. Games like Suduko, their various brain builders, and the like round off the DS in ways that the PSP's silly movie feature can't.

As for main consoles, my main disapproval of the PS3 is the insane price. 599 is way way too much for a game system IMO. Sure, there are going to be plenty of folks who are willing to pay for it, but there are also plenty of people more pragmatic and not willing to shell out that much money on a gaming console. However, in Sony's defense, being able to play a blue ray movie on the system for hundreds less than other blue ray players on the market is kind of cool I guess.
