Playstation 3 Console Review

[TIm]

I hope I am not doing anything wrong and if I am please delete.


All those who are getting the PS3 tonight or 12:01am rather, Please give your honest review of the PS3 system. What are your early thoughts, What are your feelings about Sony's next gen system, and was it worth the 600 bones.

I know there is a Ps3 discussion but I would like to see Console reviews.
Thanks

Re: Playstation 3 Console Review

With prices like this being commanded on eBay, who's going to be stupid enough to keep their PS3 if they get one?

Majority of the bids are 0 or negative. And the winning bidder could just be a buddy bumping the price or something. Prices will drop tomorrow night once eBay is flooded with these. Than by Christmas it will rise again.

As of now two grand is where it's at... which is still a lot.

I agree. I think prices will go up after the 1st wave when people are awaiting the 2nd shipment. That's when prices will be much higher.

PlayStation 3 fetching mostly ho-hum prices on Japan Net auctions

http://www.iht.com/articles/ap/2006/...layStation.php

I almost see the same thing happening here, but not to this degree. One buddy of mine went to Best Buy today on his way to work to just see how many people were out camping, and there were about 15 people. He asked how many people were keeping the PS3, and 2 out of the 15 said were keeping the console and the rest were ebaying them. Now, what if the ebay market gets flooded with PS3's tomorrow? I just don't see these selling really high like everyone anticipates.

That's why if you sell yours today your good to go. Or you take the risk and sell right before Christmas and score big... or get nothing at all.

PS Fight Shuts Down Wal-Mart

A fight broke out at the Super Wal-Mart broke out in Palmdale in California when store employees decide to move the line from inside to outside.

According to a television station, a group of PS3 line-waiters got angry when they were told they could no longer wait inside a Wal-Mart for the PS3 and would have to go outside instead. The group ran through the store knocking everyone and everything in their path over.

Sheriff's deputies were called and the store temporarily shut down to restore order.

Man Hurt Trying to Get Play Station 3 in West Bend

http://www.620wtmj.com/_content/news/story_5427.asp

West Bend police say a 19-year-old man had to go to the hospital after hurting himself while trying to get in line for a Playstation 3 at a Wal-Mart on Paradise Dr.

According to a statement from police, about 50 people were lined up outside the Wal-Mart. At 7:00 this morning an Assistant Manager announced to the customers that the store would only be getting ten of the new game consoles.

The manager set up ten chairs outside the store and then moved the crowd to a different location. The manager told people the first 10 people to get to the chairs would be the only ones to get a playstation at the store.

The manager gave a signal to the crowd and had everyone run to the chairs. Police say the 19-year-old ran into a pole while trying to get to the chairs, hurting his head.

Managers at the store in West Bend are not commenting. Wal-Mart's corporate offices have issued a statement that says for the past two weeks the company has made customers aware that it would only be getting a limited number of Playstation 3 consoles and that a line would form at 7 in the morning. The company claims that when the appointed time came, some customers became unruly and one was hurt. The statement makes no mention of a manager having people race to the chairs.

If the manager really did that he should be fired. What a fool. If that kid got hurt bad enough though he'll likely get some money out of it, enough for his eventual PS3.

Thanks for the link, Candy. I didn't see this and reported it in the PS3 thread at the top. I didn't have the link, though, just saw it on our local news.

No problem. This is just crazy with people getting hurt or mugged, and I feel we haven't heard the worst yet. People are nuts.

Most of the people interviewed on the news were ebaying the PS3.

Greed is good.

Re: Playstation 3 Console Review

The third customer remained in line, telling WKYT "I'd do it again, even if I get shot again."

LOL what an idiot.
