After the PS3 launch in Japan today the PS3 is starting to look more and more promising.

A couple of examples

It seems that you'll be able to install any OS you'd like, atleast that's how i understood this o_O

And the firmware of the PS3 is supporting Homebrew.

The PS3 will also recognize a whole lot of HD's, though it has to be 3,5" model to fit inside it. The 20gb version seems all the more compelling now

The PS3 also supports unlimited and unrestricted video viewing at HD quality.

And much more will surely come in due time, it havent really been out for a long time so ;p

I think I'll get a Wii and wait on the PS3.

There's supposed to be some big Nintendo-sponsored event over in Universal city next Saturday at Midnight (or is midnight the beginning of Sunday? meh...)

I'm thinkin of headin up there and try to snag myself a wii while i'm at it.

The people camping out at my store started yesterday morning. One of my friends is camping out and told me some people did a drive by with water balloons. Was also funny when I got to work this morning at 7 and jumped on his and his friends tent to wake up.

Wow, Mexico sure has it pretty!! At least here in the city, we'll be getting the Wii - but not the games. Har har, what a nice joke.

Oh wait, I think we DO get the Sponge Bob game!

Zelda, however, will be out three or four days after the system hits the stores. Classy, ain't it? Well, I guess that gives me three more days to work on my final essays...

[Psyke]

PS3's out where I live but it costs way too much now, so most probably I'll only get one when MSG4 gets released together with perfect scores to tempt me into parting with hard earned money. Nintendo doesn't get much attention here, but there's still a strong crowd following. Can't say the same for the Xbox 360 though.

[BioAlien]

i wish i could see the face of those who were waiting outside the store, and then the employee tell them there is no more ps3 left.
lol

[masamuneehs]

i have decided to get the Wii after reading some articles on how inexpensive it will be for developers to make games for it. That and I won't be able to get a ps3 for some time and it's too expensive.

besides, i'm so intrigued about the new interface that I don't care if it does flop. i'm pretty confident it wont

A lot of PS3 online auctions will be boicotted by bitter gamers with no PlayStation.

Not that I blame them. It's just frustrating to see the PS3 just there, while there are some people who would actually want to play it. I kinda hope they'll continue pushing the prices like that.

Seriously, anyone seen the news posted lately at http://www.evilavatar.com? Now it seems two teens tried to rob a PS3 and actually shot the vendor. If that actually happened and isn't just some made up story by sony haters, the hype is getting out of hand.

Just finished gears of war.. good game bit short though.. the multiplayer is just brutal...

It was not made up. I saw that news on CNN.com

They also a video of a human "avalanche" when a WalMart announced they had 10 free spots (I think).

Like you said, the hype is out of hand. I want one, but not now, nor through the next year. Until a big RPG comes out I won't get one.

Or until all major hardware failures have been smoothed out.

I fnally got to hookup and play the demo unit in my store. Was cool but the darn thing locked up and went back to the main menu when I reached the 4th quarter of NBA 07. The demo units are playing the demo's from the hard drive so they seem to have problems running them. People playing the unit for hrs today didn't seem to care though.

The auction was cancelled but I'm guessing it was about 8k??? That was the highest I saw. I told my friend to wait before he put his up since I knew this was gonna happen. Plus with the like 1900 systems up there his it's easy to miss his till it reaches like the last hr.

it was something more like 80 million.
I saw ones that were up for 90k. Doesn't mean anyone will buy them though.

[ChaosK]

I saw one with a red cross pic for some reason around 45k.

Oh and I couldn't resist laughing at this comic about camping out on PS3s.

i'll just agree with what most people already said. it's fucked up and getting out of hand.

Manchester, CT - Five men surround a new Playstation 3 owner as he exits a store with his purchase, beat him, and drive off with his console. As they escape they push one of their own out of the car, a 17 year-old male now being charged with multiple crimes.

i believe this one took the cake.

Hmm I found the 1st link more entertaining than the 2nd except the fact that people actually bidded on it and the price reached 99,999,999.00 unless it's himself or his friends bidding for the hell of it.
