I got my PS3!!!

[Sledgstone]

No, just kidding. :meh: but did anyone wait outside the stores for the midnight launch?

[Eppy]

sucks for all the people in line after 15...cause thats about the amount every store got :-p

[DeathscytheX]

nope, amazon didn't even get any. I tired to camp out over night, and as soon as i went to bed in the earily hours of this morning they all went on sale at places like KBtoys.com and Sonystyle.com. pisses me off.

[Godgrave]

Isn't it like really expensive >_>' ?

[Strider Hiryu]

I was going to go camp out at Best Buy but I said screw it. Had to work this morning and thats a little more important. I'll just end up getting one next year when they have more 60 gigs on the market.

Plus you know over half the bastards that were in line to get one are going to put them on eBay for like $2000. I really hate people like that, getting something that all they want to do is sell it while those of us who want it can't get it.

Yeah, they had a news report about that last night. Most of the people they interviewed were going to sell it online.

You know, you'd think the manufacturers would realize this and make more. After all, they're losing money that way. If they'd just make more and release more systems, there wouldn't be near as many scalpers making money off it.

vgcats already made fun of sony vs the wii release numbers....was funny as hell XD http://www.vgcats.com/comics/?strip_id=212

I don't really see the point of camping out for the PS3 when there aren't any good games out for it. I am thinking of getting an 360 because Amazon is selling them for $100 next week. I really want to play Dead Rising, Gears of War, and Call of Duty 3.

[Strider Hiryu]

Dude, you do know MSG: Crossfire was a launch title right? That is so worth a PS3 (imo). That and Resistance looks like a sweet ass game.

Meh, I'll probably head the same route and buy a 360. Really want to get my hands on Mobile Ops when it's released and get a couple of games I like for the system (Enchanted Arms, Perfect Dark Zero, etc).

[CabbitGirl]

some kid camped out with his cousin (who didnt want a ps3) and got 2 so he could sell one on ebay and keep one for himself. dunno if he got one or not yet, but ya... i almost had to camp out for one... had to camp out with my friend alex last year for an xbox 360 haha woo that was fun >_>

LOL, that is F*ing hilarious man. Its that much funnier because its true! hahah, sad world... sad world....

About people camping out for PS3s I was playing Socom3 (ps2) and some guy was talking about he and his freands were buying 5 and selling on ebay. I find that anoying for those who want to buy one for themselves and not rip other people off.

Also teh guy who wanted to play Call of Duty three, its onm Ps2 too, I didn't try it yet but man do I want too :P

I am not going to buy a ps3 for a while, I am freakin poor anyways :D my ps2 suits me well I am saving up to buy Socom: combined assault. :P

Cheers

[Hell_Cat_18]

Nope, not here either...:(

I did see on the news however that they are being listed on E-Bay for $3000 and up.-_-;

[DeathscytheX]

YES!! BOOYA!! I GOT MY PS3. Sonystyle.com has been slowly making them available at random. I clicked it at the right time and got my 60gig PS3! woot!

[Godgrave]

Whoa congrats man ! How soon before they can ship it to you / you collect it from the store ?!

[gokuDX7]

This kid wasted allot http://www.planetboredom.net/video.php?id=2944

[Godgrave]

Wow, what a waste indeed. But it also just goes to show you how strong the shell is ... I mean after all that jumping and hammer-hits, it still looked like a console X'D

[DeathscytheX]

Whoa congrats man ! How soon before they can ship it to you / you collect it from the store ?!


estimated to ship the 22nd. hopefully it ships Monday insted.

[Godgrave]

You better take some special extra glossy pictures of it on your SonyEric 2MP cam :happy: ! The console looks sleek, and all shiny.

[Smiley.rp]

Nice a ps3. I hoe its what it was all hyped up to be :P. it would really stink if it wasn't that great lol.

And you do know how much I hate you now don't you? Bah, j/k. Grats man. I want some pics of the bad boy when you get it.

Yes Hellcat they've been going on eBay for $2000 starting bids, I've been keeping track. Hell one sold for $3100 on Thursday night before the PS3 even hit the market.

[Hell_Cat_18]

Damn! O_O

Okay I can understand maybe paying a couple hundred extra, but $3100? That just screams "I have a gaming problem".

[Smiley.rp]

LOL, true. If some people want to go ahead and waste that much money just to have something sooner is kinda lame. Sure I want the PS3 but I'm not going to spend like 3000$ on it.

Hell, I can't even afford a PS1 :P Hehe my financial state is left to be desired of.....

[DeathscytheX]

If you have time and dedication they are still doing it at sonystyle.com Sony is smart and they are not allowing tens of thousands of people to crash their site's store by trying to buy them. You just have to press the "put in cart" button over and over again until it appears. Its really random, I went there about 20-40 times and finally hit gold at 1:30am. You also have to type your info very fast. Amazon is rumored to sell them close to midnight tonight, they haven't sold any yet. Screw EBay sellers.

I will take some pics ;) I gotta go to gamestop and use my store credit to get Resistance and an extra controller.

[Sledgstone]

Congrats on securing your PS3! ^_^ What games are you going to pick up over the next couple months? And are you going to buy any blueray movies to test out the quality of the player? ^_^

[Hell_Cat_18]

You know, the PS3 isn't that bad of deal with having the Blueray and all. Around here Blueray players just by themselves are running $900 and up. I really want to see one in action though...I've "heard" they're amazing.

[Strider Hiryu]

I've heard mixed feelings about the PS3 from people who were lucky enough to get one and it's making me wonder.

For one it's not fully backwards compatible like it was supposed to be (people are having problems playing PS2 games on it), it likes to overheat itself, etc. I'm beginning to think my idea of waiting for one was a good one. Have to wait and see what others say about it first (and get DX's impression of it).

[GundamFreakX]

Yeah, I'll judge after our wonderful DX gets his hand around it and makes the call. I didn't want to be any of the suckers taht waited in that line with the smashmyps3.com ppl. It was a waste of time, like seeing the Borat movie.

[Moon Doggie]

I'm still going to get me one (even though I have to pay half as an agreement to my mum) I don't know if it's worth it, by the time I get enough to pay half there is probably going to be some other new game thingy out *cries*.

Indeed the PS3 has had reported overheating issues... however all of these that I have read, had the PS3 in a cramp or enclosed area. I have not seen any major reports from any of the big sites however. And while that is an issue, i don't plan on keeping mine in an inclosed area anyways.

As far as blueray goes, I really dont care too much for the movies, my real interest is the data transfer and capacities of the discs. 2-3 disc games can now easily fit into one with room to spare. The size of actual games can spread to a whole new level.

As for games. Once i get my tracking number im going to gamestop to pick up Resistance, a second controller, and perhaps another game. over the course of the next 6-10 months i plan on getting:
Sonic
MGS4
Assassin's Creed
Dark Sector
Lair
Heavenly Sword
Warhawk
Armored Core 4
Ratchet & Clank
Gradius PS3

And in between that I must obtain a Wii before May when Smash Bros. Brawl comes out... other than that all i want for it currently is Zelda and Mario Galaxy.

[DeathscytheX]

Crossfire got an Abysmal rating, how do you like it?

[Gundam-Ranger-X]

All Gundam games get abismal ratings...

Anyways, I might get my PS3 today. Of course I won't have much time to play it until Sunday night...

[DeathscytheX]

Yeah I know, and they all pretty much suck too after the sega/snes era. I figured since they teamed up with namco they would put out a superior product, but i guess it hasn't happened yet. From what I read, the game is pretty buggy. I'm pretty disappointed.

[Wraith1969]

Has anyone played NFS Carbon and if you have, is it worth buying?

[DeathscytheX]

NFS stopped being worth anything when Carbon started in my opinion. It peaked at NFS 3: Hot Pursuit. I use to be an avid NFS fan.

[BlitzZ]

Got mine today. LOVE IT!
