Remember the fiasco for PS2? Long lines, overnight campouts, news crews interviewing PS2 nut huggers, riots in Paris, theives grabbing PS2 boxes from beaming PS2 owners and the after math : eBay customers paying $200 for an empty PS2 box?
Well......what about the PS3???
-
Ah....100% YES! I thought so. Thank you. :p
-
I never have / will camp out for a console. The smart people reserve one early.
-
not a chance in hell
-
Good answers dewbs.
-
no need for camping out as we all know we won\'t see that tremendous leap from this generation to the next..only thing that scares me is that sony is still going with the same technology as ps2. y\'know hard to program for etc. i think it might hurt them a little bit this time around. i don\'t think people are going to want to hear "just wait a few years when they REALLY learn how to get the most from those processors!"
just make it easy to program for right outa the box cause you know that\'s how nin. & the box are going to be.
-
I work in retail so if I want one I will just grab one from stock and have it before the official release. :D
*laughs at the suckers camping out*
-
Ppl won\'t have to camp out ; ppl who place an order for PS3 (and pay for it) will receive a small mail delivered package @ home which contains :
- 1 PS3 "Cell" chip which is to be attached to your microwave oven, tv set top box, fridge etc. The "Cell-Clamp and thumbscrews come included.
- 1 dualshock2/dualshock3 docking port which offers 2 slots.
(multi-tap 3 sold seperately)
- 1 dualshock3 controlpad
Game discs will load into the Sony DVD player which you already have of course :nerd:
-
Wont need to, Im the only nerd in Kalmar.. ;)
-
I\'ll reserve one, and if I think there\'s going to be a shortage/rush again I\'ll buy 2 or 3. I paid for my PS2 last time completely from my pre-xmas sale of a second PS2 I lined up for. When you work it out, that was like 40 bucks an hour I made for lining up for that second one.
-
Ive never reserved something. It always seemed that many people that did would often times not recieve w/e it is on the sale date.
I barely camped for my ps2. Just rode my bike up at about 6:30 in the morning waited a while and got one after waiting 2-3 hours.
Thank god for raffles. :D
-
Nah doubt it...that\'s just sad. May pre-order one, but the chances are I\'ll wait till at least some decent games come out for it. Knowing SONY, they\'ll release the console without any good launch games...for the third time.
-
Will I stand in line for a PS3 togheter with 200 other people for 14 hours just to get the PS3??
HELL YES
-
No.
Most likely, I\'ll import one when it comes out in Japan, then I\'ll reserve one for the US. All depends on launch games. My days of reserving it and then still standing in line for 5 hours is over.
-
the real question is, who will camp out for the xbox 2?
:laughing:
-
^^ *ugh*
Remember these pics I posted when I waited outside for the PS2?

I\'ll just reserve one this time. I did the same with the PS2 and it came about a month after release. Ebayed that one for $450. ;)

Hey! Tha Asian chick in the top right column has huge tits! :eek: Can I see a better pic of that rack?
-
I\'ll be smart this time and not get the first batch of units... Don\'t want no stupid faulty unit again.
-
if i did not know any one in the retail business hell yeah.
I ended up paying more for my ps2 than i wanted because of the damn rush. PS2 launch was the biggest thing I have seen for any console ever. Man the lines and lines of ppl I saw.
I am glad my cousin can just save me one:D

Nope, I already said, that\'s just sad. I\'m the patient type.
Who said I\'m going to get XBox 2? If it\'s shit, I won\'t, if it\'s good, I will. I don\'t care who it\'s made by. I base my decision on a number of merits; what are the launch games like? how many controllers will it take? is it online? does it have a hard drive? whats the copy protection like? will it play DVDs? how many developers are programming for it? are the games fun? does it support dolby 5.1? what\'s the price of it?
-
Easy there tiger, it was a joke.
-
nope, plus i work in a store where they will get sold, so ill make it imone of the first if im dying to have one

Stupid reasons to buy a console. I guess this is why you got an xbox right?

Lol. I\'m guessing jfwu means Just Fu*king With U? Well anyway; Hard Drive - I like...music, saves, updates, mods, etc. DVD player, yes, that\'s a nice plus point...especially if I\'m trying to save space. Oh, and as for my comment about copy protection....um, yes, that was stupid.
-
Well at least we can agree on one thing.
-
pirating games is lame and is nothing but a poor kid\'s reason to buy a console. Bottom lines are:
- does the system have good games, 3rd party support
- price!!
- if these are relativtely the same as the competition then it can come down to extra features and dare I say brand loyalty!?
I think I\'ll be pre-orderong an X2 if Halo x is a launch title. My days (and nights) of waiting in line for videogames are over.
-
No way. In fact, I\'ll buy it after its first price drop.
-
I won\'t camp out for ps3 as i didn\'t camp out for ps2.
Will I buy PS3? Well, that\'s a better question. The answer is not sure, depends what PS3 have and how much its cost. what I want to know if it plays Blu Ray HD-DVD and does it have HDMI or the sort connection. I know next generation graphics will kick ass but i just hope it could be true to gameplay.
-
I didn\'t for the PS2, but maybe I will this time around...I\'ll probably just be wasting my time that day anyway...

That could be 2 years wow u can wait that long
I bet is that you\'ll crack the first year.
-
nope, I\'ll just steal one from some dweeb who waited in line for two weeks.
