New site? Maybe some day.
|
this thing is coming out in three days... i was able to play it at best buy up in salem and i must say it is the craziest thing i have ever come across.
but is anyone going to spend the $600 for one and then the $60-$80 for the games? |
|
I just saw one in the store, but I don't think it was real |
|
I won't be spending the cash on this. I do, however, want the new Nintendo Wii |
|

oh it was there was a note saying non working store demo but i picked up the controller and played a bit of nba live |
|
i'll wait for PS4 to come out, then by PS3 at a yardsale or something |
|
yeah i'll wait until the glitches are worked out and then buy one used for 100 bucks on ebay. |

A friend of mine is getting both! |
|
As for me... nope. Last console I had was a Sega Genisis and that was fucking ages ago.
... wait, no, I lied. I did have an N64 in my house but it was more my sisters.
I think I might just end up getting a PS2 for super cheap or something. |
|
I can't wait 3 days. I'm freezing myself until then. Someone please make sure you thaw me out in time. |
|
so you are gonna be camping out?
and ps2 is like $100 used now |
|
ps2 will be 100 new after xmas |
|
poop said: ps2 will be 100 new after xmas |
$ 129 new at EB in Concord, I think that was what I saw when I was there |
|
the lines for this have already started |
|
I played the PS3 yesterday. ridiculous fun. |
|
the graphix on it were insane. HD quality from a polygon videogame? can I get a wutwut? |
|
yeah they are but i would rather wait a while so the price drops and the excitement goes down |
|
yeah but i heard that it is only about 2% of the enitire ps2 disco....
and well yeah i would rather wait a bit so they can get all the bugs out of it....
even though for the $600 price tag there should be no bugs in it at all |
|
just wait for the news stories tomorrow, all these dumbshits that camped out since Tuesday to get one are gonna try to sell them for a few thousand bucks and then get robbed. Same thing happened with PS2, people don't learn. |
|
the price on the PS3 isn't coming down any time soon. |
|
1080p, with Blu-ray, and 1080i in video game mode.....that fucking rules.
My TV is 1080p.
Im ready. |
|
Don't believe the hype hahah. EB in concord already has their 16 reserved units, they came in tues,They have one set up in the back room , I wouldn't pay $600 for that, They have all the games that are out at launch too |
|
ha I cound'nt find his pic, not that I looked hard,Just thought that quote fit the situation |
|
i just saw a bunch of pathetic gamers camped out in front of best buy. it's slightly less gay than camping out for the first day of a new star wars movie. |
|
think starwars but all the talk is about final fanasty and metal gear solid |
|
i work at target in somerville, and kids started camping out at 7pm last night. we're only going to get 8 in stock. |

You might as well tell everyone there is no Easter Bunny once you get done ruining Christmas. |
|
you know what's funny? It's raining out. Not just a light sprinkle but a cats-and-dogs downpour. there's a best buy and a gamestop a few miles down the road from here. I'm not enough of a loser to go out of my way finding out if people are actually camping out, but I'd bet there's a few people there in tents. |
|
most BB's are getting only 4 |
|
the_reverend said: most BB's are getting only 4 |
lies. the minimum qty for the sales ad is 20 units just for the 60gb. If you have less than that whn you open the store the day of you can be fined and piss a lot of people off. |
|
It's not worth picking up yet, there is only one awesome game (Resistance which is from a great studio). I'll get mine in the spring. |
|
ditto.
nDug: someone who works there told that to carina. |
|
Can someone make a valid argument on why someone should buy a PS3 over the Xbox 360 this Christmas? I honestly can't think of anything.
|
|
"In West Bend, Wisconsin, a 19-year-old man ran into a pole and struck his head racing with 50 others for one of 10 spots outside a Wal-Mart."
I would have waitin in line just to see that. What a fucking retard. |
|

|
to sell it for 3000+ on ebay? |
|
Anyone that buys it now is stupid, it'll be 200 bucks by March. |
|
yeah,right pam. 1/3 price in 6 months.
seeing as the ps2 took what, 6 1/2 years to drop that much? |
|
i think its pretty funny that people are waiting in line. i would do that if i cared enough about it. i walked by some people at the Target in Worcester last night and i commented "thats awesome" to them waiting, and some kid was like "wow we got a thats awesome instead of you're stupid" |
|

shit dawg. I thought I worked there too. I must be crazy. I run the inventory department in the Cambridge store.
was it a NH store? their ads might be different, as in qty's differ state to state. but in MA the minimum qty for the 60gb was 20 units on hand and 6 of the 20gb as stated right on the flyer. |
|
damn 8000 on ebay... people are going nuts
fires in cali
people shot in conn.
can't people wait a few months |
|
i wish i had invested in one and sold it on ebay. shell out 600 but pull in 8000. |
|
they aren't going for that much.
and you would also have to sit infront of BB for a week.
and do you dodge bullets? |
|
haha smartest thing here is to preorder something like this then just walk into the small preorder line |
|

Because you should have bought the Xbox 360 last Christmas? Or at least earlier this year? It's been out for a year...honestly, for any hardcore gamer, this should not be an issue. They already bought one long ago. You could have already had the 360 for awhile and accrued the disposal income for another system or two by now.
(This next bit is not in response to Egon):
Another thing that's pissing me off lately, everyone is comparing Gears of War to the PS3 games. Gears of War is NOT a first generation 360 game, the system has been out for a year. So they've had a year to refine that, and it's a great game. Not to mention it's from the studio that did UT-UT2004, the last of which was one of the best computer games ever. So it's no surprise.
On the flipside, PS3 just came out today, so all we've got so far is launch titles. Obviously they won't all be hits, they're just trying to get some out the door (like the previous PS1 and PS2 launches). Judging by the fact that it's already got 3-4 games rated in the 8s and 9s/10, BY THE FIRST DAY, I'd say that bodes well for the PS3. |

well even 5100 was the last one i saw. i'll take 5100. |
|
i would have gotten a 360 if i had an HD tv...otherwise its fucking pointless. and an HD tv cost so much ....bah. |
|
Mostly black people want this. |

FuckIsMySignature said: i would have gotten a 360 if i had an HD tv...otherwise its fucking pointless. and an HD tv cost so much ....bah. |
circuit city was requiring you to buy an hd tv if you wanted to get the ps3...
and i see all this ebay stuff pointless [for the buyer's] because i remember when the ps2 came out it came out around the same time as this and i remember going to toys r us and they had them in stock the day after christmas |

the ps3 is also the least expensive blue ray disk player which is another reason to buy it
|
|
i heard from someone who stood and waited at gamestop last night that they gave him a slip saying that if he didn't have one by tuesday they would give him a free one... but i dought it |
|
people were camped out in front of sears this morning waiting even though sears had plastered all over the windows that they weren't carrying the PS3. People are dumb. |
|
i could see if you were going to re-sell it....
when else can you get makes thousands of dollars in a matter of hours or days (other than selling drugs) |

psPEE
anywayssssssss... so how 'bout sony losing 250 bucks for every ps3 made? |
|
that's funny..
now I don't know what games to get! |

They lost money on every PS2 at first, that didn't stop them from achieving an install base of 100 Million systems. Microsoft lost money on both the XBOX and XBOX 360 at first too.
They'll make it back in software. That's what it all comes down to. PS3 will suck until the software comes out, just like the 360 sucked until software came out, et infinity. If they can't put out games that people want, they fail. |
|
ok, I used the PS2 (same as the PS3, but all the PS3 ones are sold out) component cables and it looks awesome. I got it running at 480i, 720p, and 1080i. 1080p isn't supported by my TV.
Looks freaking awesome. |
|
how do you tell the PS3 to go to standby. |
|
the_reverend said: how do you tell the PS3 to go to standby. |
break out the sledge hammer?
oh, wait, no that would send Carina into cardiac arrest...
speaking of Carina, tell her that she has e-mail |
|
I told her. I'm unable to get it to go into sleep mode. I'm copy my PS2 card to the PS3.. $14 adapter can suck my dick. |
|
wow.. I'm downloading 578MB demos |
|
downloading motorstorm now.
this freaking rules.
I'm downloading all the demos I can now. |
|
I just don't like how you can't download and do other things at the same time. good thing I can play the Wii while the ps3 downloads things |
|
the only place i would guess is Toys r Us.
cause thats where i found the ps2 the day after xmas when it came out.
unless it was a gift if so the rev is very lucky |
|
it was a gift.
best buy in portsmouth had plenty of PS3s yesterday. both 20 and 60GB |
|
They seem to be readily available and will remain in stock until they actually have some good games to buy besides Resistance. |
|
yeah... i could have bought one today... on the other hand, Wii's are impossible to find |
|
its funny how the days after xmas the ps3's come out from hiding |
|
i guess they had some at the best buy this morning but since it was in the flyer im too lazy to go down there |
|
I was just at best buy in portsmouth and they had a pile of 60gbs. probably 7 of them. |
|
i got aaron's ps3 at circuit city
then i got another one from BB for his brother's girlfriend because she asked me to help her find one.
all bb's supposedly got a bunch of ps3's for sale today |
|
xanonymousx said:
yes I am lucky |
|
my brother's keeps shutting down.

|
yeah, the fan is broken on his unit so it overheats wicked quickly. they are over nighting him a replacement. awesome! |

Not content with the fact it already plays games, Blu-ray discs, old PlayStation stuff and music, Sony's New Zealand sales and marketing manager Warwick Light says that next year the PlayStation 3 is set to become a TV recorder rather like Sky+ or TiVo.
Speaking to New Zealand newspaper The Press, Light said: "We're also hoping next year - about the same time that Freeview launches its terrestrial broadcasting service (expected to be in March) - to release a digital tuner for the PS3, turning it into a programmable TV recorder."
Unfortunately Sony UK refused to comment on Light's statement. |
