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…

Arc had a great idea, selling the ps3 on ebay… O_O

Ebay's like Playstation….unreliable, and just plain gay.

You dont have to wave your arms around to play the wii. A small flick of the wrist could do many movements (they just advertise people waving their arms =p)

As Steve already knows, I don't like the name iDev. I think gFlex is better.

The only thing you guys have said for arguments are:

1. The awesome motion sensitivy (Don't get me wrong, its an excellent feature of the Wii, but we also see Sony has incorporated it as well).

2. Ammount of units being produced (Yes yes… The Wii will have more units at launch).

3. Cost (You pay for features. The PS3 didn't need to incorporate Blu Ray, but remember back to the PS2. Sony introduced the DVD player more so).

@MrPacman wtf are you talking about? PS3 started the blu ray thing. Microsoft, if it has HD-DVD which i didn't think so, stole the idea from them.

Yes, they did start it, but it was to "rival" Microsoft's HD-DVD, they knew they would probably borrow tons from Microsoft, so they used the blu-ray instead of the HD-DVD

Smarttart62, your not much better at giving good reasons to get a PS3. Basicly you've said

"Lyk! OMG! Teh Ps# hs LYK teh BST GPHKS EVR! U $$$lss We fns sck! U ALL SCK! Oly Ppr gmers lyk me hve teh $$$ t gt teh PS#!!! U sck Ninshitho!1! U sck Ninshitho fns! STOP TALKING TO ME! Im rght u wrong!"

As for DS's comment

Sure, all those games are fun and dandy, but, hmmm… whats this? Half-Life 2? Warcraft III? Metroid Prime? Resident Evil 4? 2 of these are FPS, 1 has been done way to many times, and 1 I could care less about, and all ALL of these are not the first of their kind (2? 3? 4? And Metroid Prime isn't the first Metroid game at all). Sure I enjoyed playing the first Half Life (I haven't got around to the second one, mostly because of my crappy computer), I enjoy playing my RTSes, and I play Metroid Prime Hunters more often then not (as for RE4, I'm not much of a fan of Zombie smashing games, as there are too many out, and to many coming out), but none of these has made me want to play as much as ZeldaOOT (and sure, OOT wasn't the first Zelda game, but it was the first game of its kind) did. A++ story line, A+ graphics for its time, A+++ game play, and so on. I have not played another game like it. That is my opinion, not yours.

This is a pathetic argument that i blame on Nintendo Fanboy's. I said that i was getting it, not that the Wii was gay or whatever and i get "Ps3 is teh dumb. Wii all the way fag".

Wow! People actually have their own opinions on 64Digits!? Holy shit!

And for that matter i will throw in the towel by saying that yes, the Wii has a ton of nice features, but is it really all that great? Sure the controller is a nice idea, but how about Games? It seems like the only real Nintendo game is Mario (Super mario bros, mario party, mario kart, etc…) I'm a playstation fan. I've had every console since the original PlayStation: PlayStation, PSone, PS2, PS2 Slim, and i will be getting the PS3.

I'll buy whatever ends up coming out with more TBSs and RPGs. So far, PS and PS2 have pwned in that department, especially TBS, so I'll most likely get PS3 before any other.

The only reason I even consider Wii is for anything in Zelda or Metroid.

Nintendo has a habit of releasing great systems, but then barely any games I'd even consider. Even if the PS3 games market bombs, as a player of just my PS1 titles it'd be of more use than any of the other systems.

Thank god i finally have someone who thinks my way.
