Playstation 3 and Nintendo Wii PREORDER discussion

Man that's a rip even with 12 games, 2 controllers and 2 movies. They are piling on. The funny thing so far with the PS3 is their attach rate is 0.98 per system so most of the systems are being resold which is bad for Sony and the publishers who made games for it.

Sony is taking another beating if no one's buying games for the system.

wasn't the 360's attach rate almost 4?

Might be even a little higher than 4 right now which is damn impressive.

It probably is, but I was just talking about launch.

LAMO at Walmart's PS3 "Customer's Choice" Bundle for the low low price of $1,421.98.

Who cares. Someone will eventually keep the system. It's not like people are buying the system then throwing the damn thing in the river.

That statistic is something for blowhards to brag about. Big whoop.

There are diehards that will be keeping the system and they can care less if they can make a profit. Some people need to remember that the Playstation crowd has been waiting with delay after delay on the release of the PS3. The diehards are going to keep the system, it's only going to be the ones selling that either have a 360 so they can wait for the PS3 or the ones that are just looking at this as an opportunity to make money. Again, this is only my opinion.

I just checked out the kiosk at Target. It had a 26 or 32 inch LCD screen.

They had to reset it because it was locked behind a shelf with glass doors. The girl said they do that several times because there's no air circulation back there.

Anyways, tried Motorstorm. Looked okay, a bit floaty and you have to build up acceleration to get a sense of speed. In the flyover before the race, you saw smearing or motion artifacts as it panned over the course. That's probably more to do with the LCD though. But during the race, I didn't notice it at all.

Wary about the overheating, especially if you put it in an AV cabinet with other components generating their own heat.

Re: Playstation 3 and Nintendo Wii PREORDER discussion

I know this doesn't have anything to do with the system itself and is more of a problem associated with the store itself, but I don't understand why they would store the PS3 or 360 in plastic boxes without having at least a couple holes for ventilation.

For the people waiting in line... What time are you leaving and when do you think most people are going to leave to get in line at places like Best Buy and CC??
