I'm going to camp out at target...They are building targets all over out in the boonies where I live. Friend works there and is setting a few aside so we can purchase at least 5 and then sell them before x-mas gets here.

The sad part is, you can probably find people stupid enough to give you a profit.

darklordsarumon9 · 11-9-2006, 07:10 PM

Hey Joe.
Don't call me stupid =)
Hehe.

acknerr · 11-9-2006, 10:45 PM

good luck with your friend, so long as putting items aside won't get his ass fired. however, if your friend is puuting a few aside for you, why would you camp out? (in the booines no less?!) oh well, more power to ya

By the way, you'd better get camping.

Some kids in California set the bar rather high by starting their PS3 camp-out two days ago.

Edit: Rofl.

Those kids in line? Turns out there were 20 by today. Turns out the cops showed up and kicked them out.

You can't play Guitar Hero on PS3. Rofl rofl rofl rofl rofl.

acknerr · 11-10-2006, 10:13 PM

good for the cops on that one. FYI, I wasn't the one planning the campout for it. I'll probably have to wait until Jan. or Feb. for one anyways

Supposively the installation times are about 4-8 minutes and, when installed, the load times are really fast. R7, which doesn't have installation, has so-so load times but it's not as slow as people made it out to be. Also no overheating.

The biggest problem is that it's really loud when it starts up. Also, the PS3 currently doesn't .avi which is pretty stupid.

Just what I've heard from someone who has it.

nforcer06164 · 11-11-2006, 07:59 PM

I was at Game Crazy today. They told me that, apparently, 75% of American PS3 systems that have been shipped are already being called back because of defects. I don't have a concrete source, but I believe it. GG Sony.

carbo, remember the first 360s? Not every system was bad, but a lot of them were. This means that there will likely be good PS3s. Bad PS3s, though? I say, yes. Most definitely. They couldn't fix the horrible Blu-Ray problems in less than three months. Hell no. That's why they've been saying that there aren't any problems.

**Squeek** · 11-11-2006, 08:16 PM

It gets worse than that.

There's a story on Kotaku.

http://kotaku.com/gaming/top/foreign...ide-214130.php

Basically, in Japan, some people were paid off to buy PS3s for some guy/company for auctioning later.

By "some", I mean "almost everyone who got one".

Yeah.

Grandiagod · 11-13-2006, 12:02 AM

I was going to get one from my friend at EB games.

But even HE can't get one. Bleh.

Hahaha, oh, wow.

Maybe Sony will find some sort of way to capitalize on this for their future console launches...Have another company hire people to buy all the consoles on day one and auction them off, then send the profits back to Sony! By doing this, Sony will make even more money, and they have something extra to stroke their gigantic egos with. That's like killing two birds with one stone! HUZZAH!!!

Tsk. Tsk. Tsk.

Cool thing to do four days before launch.

orly101 · 11-13-2006, 04:36 PM

OK, ITS EITHER GET THE PS3 OR THE WII

tsugomaru · 11-13-2006, 05:20 PM

Or more like get the Wii since you won't be able to find a PS3 anywhere when it releases.

~Tsugomaru

nforcer06164 · 11-13-2006, 05:56 PM

I am nforcer and I approve the message of the above poster. The PS3 is most certainly NOT here.

**Squeek** · 11-14-2006, 09:12 AM

http://www.kotaku.com/gaming/ps3/tal...s3s-214543.php

Total PS3 Consoles Sold: 88,400
•20GB Model Sold: 33,800
•60GB Model Sold: 54,600

Biggest Selling Games
•Ridge Racer 7: 30,300
•Gundam: Target In Sight: 30,000
•Resistance: 15,700

"And note that less than one game was purchased per system. Forget the games, how many of those consoles were bought to be sold?"

Further proof that most of the PS3s at launch were simply purchased to be re-sold.

Edit: First of all, assume that the people who actually bought games might've bought more than one.

Second of all, http://www.kotaku.com/gaming/ridge-r...ces-214519.php

RR7 < RR6. Another blow to Sony.

Grandiagod · 11-14-2006, 01:49 PM

Lol, that's because the demand is high squeek.

Don't blame Sony because some people are greedy.

**Squeek** · 11-14-2006, 01:54 PM

Why not?

If Sony hadn't butchered the production of their units, there wouldn't have been a shortage and people would not have had any kind of problems with this.

Just watch how the Wii launches and you'll see how a company should do a launch.
