IGN have an article about the PS3 launch in london, it brags that there are only 2 people queuing..

Hello IGN wake up, perhaps its because you dont have to wait to get your hands on a PS3 like its competition because sony are supplying us with 3 times more of them for launch day! Xbox = 100,000 launch day PS3 = 300,000 launch day (not precise figures). Why would I queue up when I can preorder it today and pick it up anytime after 12pm thursday night!

 Sorry but I just had to get that off my chest!! IGN are haters.

I know!! sony said a bunch of times that they  were making enough so that anyone who wanted one could pick a PS3 up on launch day, sad isn't it that when a company finally makes enough consoles for there not to be a shortage they automatically think that no one wants it. :(

I never thought we Europeans were the kind of people who queue up for 2 days, especially because it's still friggin' winter. On Friday morning, I'll get up at 7, have breakfast, drive to the store and pick up my PS3. Not having read that article, I can't judge on IGN though.

Just because a site or magazine has a different opinion about PS3 doesn't mean they're "anti-PS3". So many of you guys are quick to say this site and others are anti-PS3 when really it's their opiions. Quit with your whinning and stop acting like a bunch of school girls in front of a 16 magazine. As long as PS3 is good in your eyes then that's all that matters. An opinion is an opinion.

LMAO!!! I can't believe it... And anyways: 2 or 3 people already waiting in line in the UK is quite something, even though it may look silly to most of you people (from the US), While it's fairly common over there to camp out for something days in advance (consoles, movies), you really don't see that happening in Europe. So, if there already a few people even just starting a line two whole days before launch, then that's something!

IGN are for the most part pretty impartial to me. Considering the number of pre-orders and the fact that there's still 2 days left until launch I don't really see anything negative.

Why is it that everyone says that every site is anti-PS3? Maybe you should just save space and start posting about pro-PS3 sites.

Seriously PS3 fan boys have to be the worst.  You think every website is anti PS.  Maybe they are telling you a clue.  Now its not just Gamespot, its IGN, Gameinformer, etc.  You need to really wonder why they are hating on the PS so much, especially after praising the PS2 and remember they are actually in the industry and we hardly know anything.  All I know is that the PS3 has got some of the worst new I have ever seen.  Why, I dont know because I dont have one, but I can not see anything that bad since games will soon arrive.  All I can say is that the price is too high for gaming especially in europe and other countries.

I was being sarcastic. It's dumb to think that EVERYBODY is biased against you. Unless, of course, you've actually done something to warrant this much negativity. (By "you," I refer to Sony, not to Sony fans.)

Who cares if 2 or 3 people have started lining up already....them people are as thick as s*** in my eyes!

Are people's live's that sad and pathetic, that the only thing that matters, is to get a console AS SOON as its released?

Just pre-order the damn thing or just go to the shop the next day and buy one. If there sold out, then phone up later that week and ask if theres any in stock!

Jesus! who knows they might line up for 3 days, go in shop, purchase one, leave shop and in all their orgasmic glory, step into the road and get mowed down by a bloody bus!

I cant wait to get a PS3, but i'll be ****ed if i'm gonna queue outside a shop for a quick buzz

Lets get one thing straight, I havent said all sites hate PS3 I have said IGN do so I dont know why people reply with "you think everyone hates PS3". Yes they are just reporting the news but it is the way they execute it, the headline reads "Euro Gamers Queue For PS3" and underneath is their punchline "all 2 of them". That there tells me that the "all 2 of them" is a cheap shot at the PS3 and that punchline is not needed. Why not have a punchline saying "2 days early"? Its not just this that leads me to their biased opinion of the PS3, if you ever listen to their podcasts they are always talking badly about it. Plus what bugs me the most is everyone main complaint is pricing, so if you cant afford it, then you can afford it, you get what you pay for trust me it works the same with everything. People dont start complaining that a true 1080p HDTV is too expensive because they cant afford it so why does it give them to right to complain about the PS3s price, especially when they are selling it at a lost to them!

Yeah, I am probably the only one out of anybody that I know who wants a PS3. The way I see it, you cant go wrong with the PS3. PS1 = great games. PS2 = a masterpiece of a gaming console. And I expect the PS3 to follow once it starts picking up.

You don't have to line up to get your system. Everyone has Preordered theirs. The only reason for lining up is for winning something for being first in the queue.

 

I'm sure not lining up here in sweden (still freaking cold). Mine is getting delivered to me.

 

PS: stop calling a gamesite biased for just reporting in on the launch. You want them to lie to us and say that there are X people in the line already.

ive always found ign to be unbiased. they have given fair reviews for each system over the past couple generations(i only say couple because i never read reviews for games before that). and their articles dont have that condescending touch that gs likes to add.

What they are reporting on is how not very many people are waiting in line like people did here in the US.  Thats all they are saying.  It just means more people pre-ordered it and are planning to pick it up on another day, unlike the many of people that couldn't pre-order here and had to wait outside for one.  Look, I left GS because I really felt they weren't being fair and giving PS3 a fair shake.  I went to IGN because every article I read was truthful to FACTS.  Rairly did I hear opinions on what they thought about the console unless they are reviewing something.  And even then, they dont dock a game a whole point because of a lack of ONLINE PLAY!  Stop listening to others opinions and make your own.  I have this idea that is coming to a head and it will be a gaming site with NO POINT VALUES!  Amazing isn't it?  Gamers would just go online, write a review and say if its worth playing or not.  We need to stop being such points NAZI's and make our own decisions on games.  Either play it or don't and if you think its cool, F*$& everyone else, because those are the decisions we make in life, and we have to stick to them.  IGN is by far the best reviewers out there, and if you have a problem with them, I suggest just not even bothering checking gaming websites anymore, besides, all they do is get the blood-a-boilin.  SO please, stop your wining and make your own decisions!

IGN are one of the Best Reviewers out there. They hardly insult the Ps3, but they do tell facts about its flaws.
