I'm just gonna wait a good year til the bugs are worked out, melting cables are replaced and a nice library of games is released til i buy ps3. I haven't even got through half the games on my ps2 yet. in the end alot of people will have the ps3s and who's gonna give a damn about a the person who got the first ps3. didn't someone once say patience is a virtue?

It's a rough gig getting a Playstation 3. As if it weren't bad enough that the machine will set you back over 500 bucks and Sony, due to a "blue diode shortage" in the game console's Blu-Ray drive is way under delivering on this initial shipment, but you also just might get your ass kicked getting one.

Multiple reports are surfacing today of PS3 line violence. In West Bend, Wisconsin, the 60 people waiting for the 10 available units went berserk jostling for line position, requiring police and and ambulance to be dispatched to the scene.

A Palmdale, California Wal-Mart's PS3 line was a chaotic mess as police had to move the line from inside the store to the parking lot, causing angry line waiters to wreck everything in their path in the process.

In Lexington Kentucky, three people and a local news reporter were the victims of a drive-by BB shooting. Since no one lost an eye or anything though, this is actually pretty funny.

Did anyone mention to these Mensa members that the PS3 will have almost no games available at launch (at midnight tonight) and will cost 500 plus bucks?

Ahh, the joys of natural selection.

If you really want to find out how few PS3's will be available in your area, try this tracker.



People this obsessed with a fucking video game console shouldn't be allowed to reproduce! That's my story and I'm sticking to it! The phrase "Get a fucking life!" comes to mind..

what i find most amusing is that besides the obvious issue of first generation consoles generally being defect prone guineapigs the PS3 is missing half the features people expect it to have because sony simply couldn't make it work.

I mean backwards compatible, blue ray movies and all that, just forget about it, doesn't work, sony couldn't get it to work and it's not even certain it'll ever work.

read up on the thing and not just the hype before you start talking about a dreammachine, so far the actual developers i've heard talking about it described it as a bug ridden, piece of shit, prone to breaking down, that's missing half the features sony promised over the past year, and has trouble even running a piece of software for any length of time, never mind trying to run smooth games.

I've never been a fan of microsoft or xbox but at least the 360 works and pretty much does what it promises which is more than sony managed.

THere was a report in ATOS on G4 that a dentist paid interns to sit in line for 8 hour shifts son he could get 15 Ps3's one for each of his grandkids nesies and nephews.

this poor guy droped over $9000 for the most over-hyped system to date
and thats just for the system that dosen't include paying the temps warrinties games and controllers

for the same price he could have gotten a Wii 7 games and 3 controllers and have almost enough left over for the taxes

On the same page Gears of war the game microsofts whole counter wii/ps3 strategy lies with is BITCHEN the first time you bisect a locust with the main weapons chain saw you will be hooked

Also i work for none of these companys evrything in the above statement is viral advertiseing (just for the record)

Actually a bunch of people were pressed up against the doors and the glass cracked. Nobody went through it. There was a lot of yelling and the police did show up. No rubber bullets were fired.
