I've also noticed that the polls assume you don't own one. They asked you if you were going to get one on one poll, but there were no "I already own one" answers.instantdeath999

Well, there is one.
"Can I retroactively return my $599 PS3? I feel kind of gypped."
Which basically makes it even worse. There is an option if you got a PS3 and are unhappy, but not one if you're happy with it.

And then they complain about people making "GS is anti-PS3" posts..

Game stories, with the possible exception of graphic-text adventures, are inferior to novels and will likely never match the storytelling capabilities of the novel. I say this because video game stories are limited by the gameplay structure.Boomarley

Your logic is flawed. That's like saying novels are inferior to video games because you can't interact with novels, or because a picture says more than a thousand words, and well games display 30-60 pictures per second =)

I don't understand what you're suggesting. Yes, a lot of games follow a formula, but there are also examples of deep and complicated stories in games. What is the other option? Running around and gunning people down aimlessly for no appearent reason sounds very boring in single player. That's what MP is for.

Yeah, your parents might help you out if you cant buy it on your own.
If my kid wanted to invest his money in something valuable as a ps3, instead wasting money on candy and drugs, or whatever it is kids buy these days, I'd give him a little push =)

Edit: wrote that before I saw your last post =)

Try to explain to your folks that the PS2 and Xbox are getting old and soon there wont be any new games on those systems. And PS3 is a good investment since it will last many years, the earlier you buy it, the longer it will last =)

I really don't see the big problem..

..when I present my copy to the clerk, he pulls a game disc from their storage area and inserts into the case thatI gave them. I paid $60 bucks for what feels like a used copy as it was not sealed.jeffbase33

..found the rare Baldur's Gate 2 DA! Then my smile sank when I saw the price. Fifty clams for a used title. What a ripoff. All their used PS3 games are only five bucks cheap than brand new.jeffbase33

When the hell is it coming HERE!!! I want to buy it NOW..... I need FIFA 08 or I will die....... If the 80gb gets reduced to $500, I'll by that, if not, I'll pick up the 40gb at $400Macri

Just don't f@h.

It goes from your pocket straight to someone else's. Don't believe that Standford Uni does all that research just to help humanity, it's all about profit. And they probably got more money than the average PS3 player, so I don't see why I should give my money to them.
