Darth_Rob Posted November 16, 2006 Share Posted November 16, 2006 For those of you who don't know, Sony's PS3 releases on Friday. I just wanted to say how there were sick and mentally insane people sitting outside retailers yesterday. I went grocery shopping at Walmart, and there was a line in front of the store of 14 people who were sitting in lawn chairs waiting for Friday to get a PS3. That is the most disgusting thing in the world. Who can sit outside for 3 days just to get a freakin video game system that will be available to everyone in the world at a reduced price 3 months from now???

SOCL Posted November 16, 2006 Share Posted November 16, 2006 Sony knows market strategy. They put out a few, and I mean very few of the PlayStation3, driving the market crazy until the full release. At the time of the full release, all the people who wanted one, and a good portion of those who didn't, will go out and buy one. But now you have people (I know at least three individuals) sitting outside of electronics stores and the like to buy one of these limited early versions to then turn around, go on eBay, and sell them for double or triple, maybe even more. It's really not a bad idea, but I see one major problem, namely that a lot of these nutcases are carrying pistols to protect themselves. Well, I'm sure there's going to be at least one diehard fan who's going to get a little pissed off when he doesn't get his copy...and then the police get involved, and then the news arrive, and then... Has anyone read Jennifer Government by Max Barry? It's actually rather relevant in this moment...despite hvaing been written as a satire.

Mad78 Posted November 16, 2006 Share Posted November 16, 2006 The PS3 is way to expensive for what it is... Wait two years and then get it. http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a359/Mad78/Palpycard.gifhttp://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a359/Mad78/Spamkinguserbarcopy.jpgCLICK HERE IT IS VERY IMPORTANT!!!Click here is you like Trance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarthTofu Posted November 16, 2006 Share Posted November 16, 2006 According to a friend of my family, their son was paid $400 to get out of line for purchasing a PS3 so that the fellow behind him could move up. 12/14/07Nu kyr'adyc, shi taab'echaaj'la Not gone, merely marching far away Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JediHunter Posted November 17, 2006 Share Posted November 17, 2006 The American public really is stupid. I mean, do you have to have something that bad?? Really?? Like that whole "Tickle Me Elmo" thing that went down when it first came out.. mothers scraping at each other ready to beat each other down just to get an elmo for their kid..

Darth_Rob Posted November 17, 2006 Author Share Posted November 17, 2006 Now that was ridiculous. Paying freakin hundreds of dollars for a stupid stuffed animal. Im kinda scared cause this year the Tickle Me Elmo Extreme is out... Here is the most recent auction on ebay Your feeble skills are no match for the power of the Dark Side!

Mad78 Posted November 18, 2006 Share Posted November 18, 2006 3800$!!!! That is just mad. What a stupid way to waste your money.

Aenivae_Ikeda Posted November 18, 2006 Share Posted November 18, 2006 3800$!!!! That is just mad. What a stupid way to waste your money. EDIT: Was it really worth it? Good god, that's absurd... Not to be cliche but: "Videogames made me do it!" Seriously though, what's the point? There aren't that many good launch-games so why "kill" someone for something that isn't even very good yet.

SOCL Posted November 18, 2006 Share Posted November 18, 2006 I knew it! I knew it! I'd been saying it, "Someone's going to get shot over the PS3" and look...it happened. Sometimes I hate being right. Everyone needs to read Jennifer Government by Max Barry. Nearly every damn thing he has predicted concerning captialism has come true, including people shooting each other over some rare item...

SOCL Posted November 18, 2006 Share Posted November 18, 2006 Where can i find the book?Amazon search for Jennifer Government. The book has been printed in many different languages, so you may be interested in looking for one of those. In any event, Max predicted nearly all of this recent nonsense (shooting people over something, tatoo company adverts on ones body, blah), so I think it's time everyone started arming themselves with knowledge. If this trend continues, soon companies like Nike and Coca-Cola will control the world... Read the book.

Mad78 Posted November 19, 2006 Share Posted November 19, 2006 I may get the Wii before the PS3. I am interessted by its innovative controls. http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a359/Mad78/Palpycard.gifhttp://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a359/Mad78/Spamkinguserbarcopy.jpgCLICK HERE IT IS VERY IMPORTANT!!!Click here is you like Trance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth_Rob Posted November 19, 2006 Author Share Posted November 19, 2006 I fear the release of the Wii more than the release of the PS3. The Wii retails for soooo much cheaper, so more people are going to be inclined to snag one. I think that the release of the Wii may cause the Apocolapse and the second coming of Hannibal...

Mad78 Posted November 19, 2006 Share Posted November 19, 2006 But my guess is that they shall be releasing more units. http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a359/Mad78/Palpycard.gifhttp://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a359/Mad78/Spamkinguserbarcopy.jpgCLICK HERE IT IS VERY IMPORTANT!!!Click here is you like Trance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which Hannibal? Hannibal the Canibal or Hannibal the "I'm going to crush Rome by going through the alps with a bunch of elephants, but in reality I'm going to get my head handed to me and wind up screwing over Carthage?" 'Cause the second one we can deffinately deal with if he tries the same strategy. And if we can't, hey, it's just Italy. All they have are cows and pizza.

Darth_Rob Posted November 20, 2006 Author Share Posted November 20, 2006 For one thing, I was referring to the Carthagian general. And secondly, a true Italian pizza is NOTHING like an Americanized one. Your feeble skills are no match for the power of the Dark Side!

And what in the world are cowboys doing ... roundin' up cats? FLASHBACK. Well, you know what I mean Finally, after years of hard work I am the Supreme Sith Warlord! Muwhahahaha!! What??

That tells you how ridiculous people can be. It's just a freaking console. You can get more later in the year.. who cares if you dont have it for christmas.. like its really that important?.. and like AI said.. there are no decent games out for it yet!.. and wow.. 3800 dollars?!?! for a reserved PS3!?!.. how stupid..
