Very good news indeed, however, I told myself that I wouldn't buy one until 2007, so until Monday, I'm not buying one.

I had a PS3....yesterday. I was one of the lucky few to get it off amazon.com. I was very proud about it since I've been searching for a PS3 for weeks now, but just like a fisherman who catches that elusive big fish he always wanted, once I caught one I....decided to let it back into the wild.

Yes, I canceled my PS3 order on amazon 30 minutes after I ordered it. I'm probably the only person who did it. I said to myself, "do you really need this right now just to own all three consoles?" and I told myself no, especially since I could use the $600 towards my classes next semester and I need that cash.

And besides, PS3s just aren't going for what they used to on Ebay and I just felt it wasn't worth it. And there is only one game on the PS3 that I really want to play right now (Resistance) and I don't want to spend $600 right now just to play it. I feel sort of hollow inside, but that's how it goes. *sigh*.

Maybe in a couple of months though.....

And they are so much fun that you have to post here in this forum denigrating the ps3 instead of playing the 360 and the wii?

I know how you feel, I decided to spend my money towards a new guitar and some guitar supplies instead of getting a PS3, I figure I might as well be a producer instead of a consumer, and also I really don't think the PS3 is worth it until next year when some really good games hit stores, and a possible price drop would be icing on the cake.

Interesting to see if there is a line when they open.  I came across 4 60gig at walmart Saturday and about 20 at bestbuy on christmas eve.  No one seems interested anymore.  If bestbuys do not sale out before the new year sony has a long road ahead of them.  Pretty funny to see people on craigslist still trying to get over retail.

Same here.  I actually got a 20gig 3 weeks ago but I feel like I do not need it right now.  The funny part is that I picked up a 60gig to replace the 20gig but after seeing people walk pass 4 available units at a different walmart it might not be worth it at the moment until better games come out and when the bugs are worked out.   There was a stretch of 4 days when I did not even turn it on.   
  • Theres only one game worth having at the moment.
  • I'm not into buying or renting blu-ray movies. 
  • The online plan needs work.
  • The final straw was the GT demo which felt not worthy of being called next gen.  Sure it looks good but thats it. If you hit a barrier with people a foot away you would expect people to run backwards or show some form of life.  The models just stand there looking.  Heck, the models in crazy taxi for the dreamcast jumped out of your way if you got to close.  I thought the cell processor was capable of handling such code without a performance hit.

It's advertised in the Sunday ad (bought on Saturday). They have 25 minimum per store. 2 hours should be enough time.

it is a demo and not the actual game. Why woudl they work so hard for something they wont get paid for?

its like you getting a job at best buy. They pay u 9$/h if u slack off or if your employee of the month. they didnt care what you did. What would you do?
slack off n smoke pot obviously

same with these guys. They dont care what people think because they have millions of fans. they'll still sell no matter how much the demo sucked. (the demo was great btw)

I'm really on the fence right now about a ps3.  I'm pretty happy with the games I have for 360 right now though and am feeling more and more like I'm wanting to impluse buy the ps3 just to have one.  from what i can gather, Resistance is the only really show stopping game for the console right now.

I just don't see enough on the horizon to make me want to buy one just yet...but it's getting harder and harder.

i rode by my best buy to see if anyone had lined up and to my surprise, no one, not one person was outside. so i figure i call best buy the next day and they had quite a few remaining, they oinly had a few people show up and get tickets, i think $600 is just way too much for a console and unproven blu ray

LOL, my area bestbuy had at least 25 60gigs left 4 hours after the store opened.  And this is Gurnee Mills; one of the largest shopping areas in Illinois.  Sony is going to have to do a complete 360 to get back on track. Wii can only hope.

I am sure Sony will do well in the long run but the high price and lack of games makes it hard to justify getting one atm. I have played Resistance at a friends and it is good but nothing special. it's certainly not worth $600...I plan to wait till all the great games (hope they will be) come out and then make my decision...would be nice if the price dropped a little also.
