Yay for PS3-age!

[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…

If someone could list more actual good things about ps3 than wii i would be amazed.

I got a ps2 last year and a ps1 s years before =/ probably the only sony game systems I will ever own.

Worst? Re-phrase that. It has one of the hugest collections of games built up over the year IN EVERY SINGLE GENRE.

Blu-ray bugs? It's called waranty.

Name one thing (besides the obvious price one which i can counter anyways) that makes the Wii so… great. I mean come on? The game cube was a piece of shit. The Wii is better, yes, but it still lacks what im looking for in a console.

Hey guess what? The pre-orders SOLD OUT COMPLETELY within a couple hours.
aeach store got what? 4 consoles? and I bet half are being bought just to sell on ebay.

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.
Ok so im either poor or an idiot eh?

I dont prefer wii because its nintendo, because it has a new controller, or because of any single series on the system. I prefer it because it has a great lineup of games for the next year and, like the ds, is unique.

And you still fail to answer my question, you've only dedicated to bash the wii and its predecesor the Gamecube, which honestly sucked balls.

so, why would you buy a Ps3 rather than something else?

So what? EA games makes the "hugest collection" of football games which happen to be crappy clones of each other every single year.

Quality > Quantity

One thing that makes the Wii so great….hm…let me crack my head for that one…

The controller. Innovative gameplay. One step closer to virtual reality.

No s*** Sherlock!

Lets see here…

New ways to interact with the game (a BIG pro there)

Great graphics (not Hi-Def, but still great)

Best connectivity of the 3 (wireless stuff all around, as well as 24-7 connection to the internet for updates and stuff)

No need to go out and buy extra parts just to play it

Interesting games (all game consoles have their bad games and their good games. Wii is no different, but I expect more good than bad)

FREE INTERNET MULTIPLAYER

and all the good stuff from previous consoles. Like 3D, hand held connectivity, etc.

Funny how nobdoy's even MENTIONED the 360 yet [:P]

Um… because the 360 sucked?

My reasoning for buying the PS3 you ask?

1. Excellent graphics.

2. Incoporates brand new technology (IE, Blu Ray)

3. Backwards Compatibility

4. Excellent Processor

5. Huge variety of games, PS1, PS2, PS3.

6. Because i've been a PlayStation fan.

7. Free internet

8. High Def

9. Connectivity (Wireless, ethernet, bluetooth)

10. No need to go out and buy… yadda yadda.

11. All wireless blue tooth, 24/7 connection to internets…
