[l]T[/l][sc]oday was the first and last day you could pre-order the PS3 at GameStop![/sc]

Aparently "Due to high demand" they have finished taking pre-orders for the most awesome-est console in the world of console-ness. Who pre-ordered today?

On a side note since im a G.A.P. member I could have gone to an party with Sony up in New York for playing i before everyone else got a chance but im not friggin 18 yet! Which pisses me off since NY is just a state over from me…

iDev you ask? Well not much progress was made today… I finished up a couple small things and fixed a couple GUI components. I'm really not looking foward to the Loading tab… Should be a pain in the ass to do…

In more random news im probably going to get a 40gig HD for linux, and get back on Windows eventually…

Well, my sister wants one just because the "good" Sonic games are being made for it. Big big big mistake, and she lost hope once I told her the price.

Kinda noticed… Aparently they (the wii lovers) are either:

A. Too cheap to dish out the dough for the console

OR

B. Idiots. In which case you dont deserve a PS3.

Deserve it? Haha, ok. And no, i'm just not stupid enough to pay hundreds of dollars for entertainment.

A youtube link is proof that everyone hates the PS3?

Hey guess what? The pre-orders SOLD OUT COMPLETELY within a couple hours.

However i happen to like variety, and graphics, so the PS3 is great for me.

If you're looking for variety the PS3 is THE worst console to get. All they have is generic genres (sports games, racing games, GTA-like games, fantasy RPGs) done to death over and over again. But hey, if you're all for shallow games with nice graphics, go ahead, spend $1000+ on the PS3.

Oh and by the way, don't come complaining when the Blu-ray magically has a bigass bug and you're screwed all of a sudden. I mean, they're already having problems with it, it's just a matter of time.

You know why? Because there are so few PS3s being shipped to the USA and places. I'm guessing because they are way to expensive. But you know smarttart62? I'm sure tons of people may have money to buy everything needed to play a PS3, and some may only need to pay less (by having a high-def TV right away), but I'm sure MANY are unwilling to pay a good $80 to play a crappy FPS or a nothing new sports game? The PS3 is offering nothing new. NOTHING NEW! And isn't a game console ment for, well, GAMES??? The PS3 has way to much multimedia to be concidered a game console, and why would I want to pay thousands and thousands for just a DVD player that plays crappy games? I can understand playing music. Sure, fine, what ever. I may not fully understand it playing DVDs, but sure, fine, what ever. Can't a DVD player do that? And don't those cost… what? A good one for over $100? I don't know, I haven't done my research on DVD player prices. But if your in it for multimedia, get a fricken computer!

Something I can't stand is people who simply say "I'll buy this console because..err….err…dunno, shut up!"

when I ask an straightforward answer, I want an straightforward answer.

When I start a debate I want to do it against people who can think, not a million years old australophitecus.

@Smart: Yes, it is, very much.

Omg, pre-orders, what happened with the 64? What happened with the Gamecube? What happened with the DS? What happened with the ps2? Hours……Matter of hours, it's all because of its next gen. What do you think the 64 was? Next gen, because of 3D. Whats gonna happen in 5 years. Next gen Playstation console. Everyone's gonna say, "PS4 OWNS NINTENDO, NINTENDO SUCKS!!!". Its all going to happen again. So everyone really needs to lay off the "Who's best" or "Who sucks", because after the PS2….it got old. Playstation does nothing but steal shit. They steal ideas from Microsoft and Nintendo. So, as i said before, fuck playstation. If your gonna start the war on "Next Gen Console" , then go ahead. Your just starting retarded comments like these. So, this blog is kinda pointless, we've all heard it.

@Sk8

Lol, I feel your pain.
