Gamestop has just detailed their instore PS3 pre-orders. They expected, because of the extreme shortage, that there would only be 8 consoles per store, 16 if there was a big store. In order to preorder, you would have to pay 100 dollars in trade-ins, cash, check, or credit card. (A little questionable about the credit card though) That really must suck for the die-hard Sony fans that vowed to get a PS3 at launch day. That is definitely not going to be the same case for Wii. Nintendo has already reported that 2 million Wii units are ready for sale. If 4 million were headed to the US, that means each store would get approximately 80 Wii systems, 160 if it is possible. I, however, am not getting a PS3, so I really am not worried. Though I am watching very carefully about Wii Pre-orders. I have made sure that I will pre-order one somehow and get it at launch day.
^lol
^ lol at hobo
I'll be getting a PS3.
Playstation is the best game systemPS3 sucks, but they each have their markey. XBox aims for a more mature audience, while Nintendo goes for the lil'uns. Sony goes for people who like every game to be made with the same shitty graphics and engine over and over again. Thats just how it plays out.
PS3 is gonna suck more balls than Paris Hilton. I think the Wii is gonna be the winner for "Gaming Experience" , and thats what I aim for in games. Not graphics or anything like that, just how awesome or how real it feelse to play it. I don't know how many times blogs like this have been brought up, but I always say, Screw graphics (even though its cool to see how good they can make then), gameplay is where people should be paying attention to, and if they are, than go for the Wii.
lol… from what i believe, it's not the console, but the GAMES that will make all the difference in this battle, and from what i see, I haven't seen any games for he PS3 that are going to be addictiver, and even if the graphics are insane, just to make one game with those kinds of graphics would just take masses of time to release, which in my case, is BAD. but nintendo has it down, it's not graphics that the world revolves around, it's hardcore gameplay that makes the player (us) want to play it over and over and over again IE super smash bros melee! so i believe that the WII might win the compitition here with it's lower prices and most likely to be better gaming experience! for i too am getting a WII. =P
I have something to say about that.
Hehe…hehehe…WIIIIIIIII! HA-HAHA!Why I am getting a PS3: Experimental games like flOw, cinematic games like Heavy Rain, old favorites like Gran Turismo, showcases of computing power like Lair, and whatever the hell you'd call Afrika.
