I can remember like it was yesterday....I tried to get mine on release date which i believe was november 6th 2006..well since i work i was unable to wait in line so i was hoping that i could get 1 from my local walmart since where i live just seems like a likable choice to get it on release day cause hardly anyone plays video games that i know of in my town but this was a failed attemp. So i was in super walmart in the next city up from mine and i was christmas shopping with my girlfriend..christmas was like 2 or 3 weeks away i believe..this was also in 2006. So we walk back to the electronics and this 1 guy was stocking sees me wearing a heavy metal t shirt..king diamond to be exact and he says hey dude cool shirt haven't heard those guys in years so we talk metal music awhile and i don't think video games were even mentioned. So i walk on then when we are about to checkout i see this guy again and he says hey dude not sure if you are into video games but i was just in the backroom and a truck just brought in 1 of those hot off the market 60GB ps3s...and man my eyes lit up like probably never before but i thought he was joking and he said if you want it you better hurry up cause we only got 1 in..So i rush back to the electronic area and i see this other guy carrying the 60gb ps3 about to put it in the glass shelf thing and i said hey mr.. i'll take that and he holds it up and says ok..and almost everyone back there starts looking and saying the new ps3 and stuff like that. Well after i get it i think the next day or so i go and buy madden 07 and the ps3 fun begins!!! anyone else care to share their story?

NO. I don't care to share my story. It is very personal and emotional. I choose to keep it strickly between my self and my PS3 console. :P

What is it with Walmart and metal lol. My friend had a Slayer shirt on and an employee went on and on about he saw them "back in the day" and we got to hear more how the past was SO much better.

I struck a deal to get my friends launch PS3 since he had 2 and 1 he never played. I picked it up almost a year ago. Just 12 more days then its been with me a full year. Anyways since launch system was being replaced witht he newer striped down versions he said I will sell you mine with Ninja Gaiden and Blazing Angels for $500. So I said sure and he brought it all the way fromt op of alberta to the bottom of BC when passing through. I bought it for 2 reasons.

1. The orignal PS3 was being taken out

2. Die hard MGS fan and was excited for MGS4

Unfortuntly I am a major gamer. So I split my time up between 12 consoles I got hooked up right now. PS3 has been out of action for awhile since PS2 has been hogging the glory of front stage with the orignal Rock band I got for $100. But when rock band 2 comes out I will buy the PS3 version and download the old free songs. Since I no longer support paid digital download.

pretty cool story bro... As for me...

I was at work and my brother called me there telling me that he was at Best Buy after they just stocked a few in there. He grabbed one hoping that I would buy it and after arranging a loan with my dad I got it... Never even had to leave work to do it! but woulda been more exciting if I had been there

i got mine in march of 07 i think, i had planned to go and get one for a while, but this was back when ps3's were still pretty in demand, i already had the 800 bucks taken out of my account to go up and get it, i checked online and the site said that the store had some on stock, so i got in my car and drove to the biggest city close to me (45 minutes away) i picked it up and decided to go and look over at the wallmart which is pretty much right beside it to see if they had any ps3's, they didnt have a single one, but i decided that i was going to be needing a game, need for speed carbon was the game i picked up, grabbed some mcdonalds before i left and ended up catching up to my dad who was also on his way home, i followed him all of the way home and he never knew it was me, great day :)

It was a day or two after launch and I was at Wal-mart buying my 4th flat screen ( I love Having HD everywhere ), when a lady comes out the back with the 60 gig PS3, now I wasnt even thinking about buying 1, since I had a 360 since launch and just bought a Wii, but I'm a gamer and like being able to play all the games. I ask her if anyone was buying it she said no, so I asked her to bring it to the counter, she said do you know how much this cost? Granted I just had on a plain white T, sweat pants and slippers, so maybe she thought I was broke. I shot her a puzzled look and pulled out over $15,000 in rubber banded 20's, 50's and 100's and told her I dont care what it cost, me, my homie and the lady ringing me out at the register started laughing.

I remember getting it on Dec. 25th 2006. I hooked it up, turned it on, and expected Megadeth's Symphany of Destruction to start playing.
