Re: Thoughts on the PS3?

I'm starting to notice Stoke being the majestic cow in the guild. If you catch what I'm saying.

Re: Thoughts on the PS3?

FROM VARIOUS NEWS SOURCES:

With shortages resulting from production problems, many had camped out for days without knowing if they'd be going home empty-handed. At some stores, the crowds got rowdy and stampeded for the shelves, injuring a man in Wisconsin and forcing authorities to shut down a Wal-Mart store in California.

In Connecticut, two armed thugs who got wise to the PS3's high price and tried to rob a line of people waiting outside a Putnam Wal-Mart store at 3 a.m. One person who refused to give up the money was shot, state police said. In Lexington, Kentucky, four people waiting outside a Best Buy were hit by BB pellets, though none was seriously injured, according to television station WKYT, whose own reporter was hit as she interviewed buyers.

In Palmdale, California, authorities shut down a Super Wal-Mart after some shoppers got rowdy late Wednesday. In West Bend, Wisconsin, a 19-year-old man ran into a pole and struck his head racing with 50 others for one of 10 spots outside a Wal-Mart.

Even a volunteer for former Sen. John Edwards of North Carolina asked for help in getting a PS3 -- from Wal-Mart Stores Inc., which the potential 2008 presidential candidate frequently criticizes. Edwards said the volunteer "feels terrible" about seeking the console from Wal-Mart a day after his boss criticized the retail giant, saying it doesn't treat its employees fairly. Wal-Mart accused Edwards, the Democrats' vice presidential candidate in 2004, of not wanting to wait his turn.

I've heard of all those happenings. However, you missed out on one that I have also heard of.

I think it was at a Best Buy or something. The manager of the store played a game with the customers in line. The said store apparently were only getting 10 units of PS3's. So the manager decided to play a little game. He set out 10 chairs; there were about 50-80 customers; the stairs were lined up next to the sliding doors entering the store; he ordered the customers who decided to play to back up to 50 yards away from the chairs; on his mark, the "players" would have to sprint towards the chairs and the 10 people who would get to a seat would be the ones who would be eligible to purchase a PS3. In the result of this so-called game, however, 3 people were trampled and nearly 10 were injured.

I'm pretty sure that d****e was fired don't you?

Re: Thoughts on the PS3?

Haha. There is this too:

Quote:
HARTFORD, Conn. - Two armed thugs tried to rob a line of people waiting for the new PlayStation 3 game system to go on sale in Putnam early Friday and shot one man who refused to give up his money, authorities said.

About 30 miles away, another shopper was beaten and robbed of his new PlayStation 3 just minutes after he bought it at a store in Manchester, police said.

Re: Thoughts on the PS3?

PS3 is a funny marketing failure for Sony, System is hard to program for, the current games suck, and the Ace in the Hole game, may end up on the 360 (metal gear).

On that note, I scored a Wii. And i have been playing w/ my Wii, alot. Gives your arm quite a work out.

But seriously, Wii Sports looks like shit, but is probably the most addictive game i've played in a while. Even my farther of 54, ****ing loved the wii when i brought it home for the Turkey Day.


PS. We need to play some Gears of War you bitches. that game is the sex on live.
