GutZ Posted November 17, 2006 Share Posted November 17, 2006 F$*% that! Who in there right mind would spend that much, the lack of self control is FRICKEN INSANE! Is their life so incomplete that they would spend 9000$ dollars on a *shouting profanities* video game system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EvoN1020v Posted November 17, 2006 Share Posted November 17, 2006 People with no patience have a big issue. This weekend, Futureshop here in my area is selling PS3 for 1/2 the price. There'll be a lot of people waiting in the line. I never have the time to play video consoles because I'm too busy with university. But one of my friend is going to buy Nintendo Wii, and I can't wait for that. I'm particularly excitied about the new game - Zelda: The Twilight Princess.

jeremyhfht Posted November 18, 2006 Share Posted November 18, 2006 I find those that do that so very sad. If I ever buy a game console, I'll wait until it's dirt cheap. The games will still be around, and THEY will be dirt cheap. Sort of like waiting until the PS3 is out to buy a PS2. In the end, only you benefit, and the market can screw itself. P.S: This is why patience is a virtue. Haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gilded Posted November 18, 2006 Share Posted November 18, 2006 Considering bascule pasted the one of $9,100 I'm left with no choice but to paste this: http://vegetawantsps3.ytmnd.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I waited in line for Halo 2, and beat most of the game before school the next morning Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5614 Posted November 18, 2006 Share Posted November 18, 2006 I'm not going to because of the money, and besides, I'd prefer to spend money on upgrading my computer. However I think the PS3 is the best console out there and I wish it the best of luck with its blu-ray disk and I can't wait until The Cell (the processor inside the PS3) is reverse engineered for PCs.

The_simpsons Posted November 18, 2006 Share Posted November 18, 2006 Yepp, im gonna buy it. But im gonna have to wait until mars (because i live in Europe). Unless it gets delayed a fourth time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pangloss Posted November 18, 2006 Share Posted November 18, 2006 Nobody is buying PS3s. Haven't you all heard? The economy is in the crapper, the world is just about out of oil, government corruption is rampant, nobody has any healthcare except the "privileged elite", creation is being taught over evolution, the entire next generation is dying in Iraq, and the government was behind 9/11. Sony won't sell a single unit! (Phi whispers in Pangloss' ear.) Oh, um, er, right... That's the online reality. Sorry about that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Krz Posted November 20, 2006 Share Posted November 20, 2006 all the new consoles suck. SNES and N64 is where it's at. Nothing beats Zelda : A Link to the Past, Super Mario, Super Metroid and Megaman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JesuBungle Posted November 20, 2006 Share Posted November 20, 2006 I'm still stuck on Perfect Dark myself. Love that game. But yeah, I just sold my 360 this weekend and used the money on a bodykit for my car. Now I can go cruisin for ladies:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dak Posted November 20, 2006 Share Posted November 20, 2006 im with jeremyhfht: the release of the ps3 is an omen, indicating that the time to buy a ps2 is nearly upon us. dirt cheap console, with dirt cheap games. it also, in theory, marks the point at which people stop caring enough about ps1 games that d/l'ing the roms from the net will become as quasi-legal as d/l'ing snes roms. hopefully.

blike Posted November 20, 2006 Share Posted November 20, 2006 I'm leaning heavily towards the Wii at this moment -- if only for price reasons (and the ability to download NES / SNES games for $5; and the neat controller idea). I'll likely end up getting a PS3 when the price drops significantly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bascule Posted November 24, 2006 Share Posted November 24, 2006 Technically speaking you could. The PS3 can run Linux. I think when the price drops a little more you'll see an overzealous sysadmin building a scientific computing cluster out of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genecks Posted November 24, 2006 Share Posted November 24, 2006 I can think of many other things I can do with $600 USD. Hmm, let me name a few: 1. Buy clothes and some new shoes. $150 USD - Money left: $450 2. Buy a reprographic copy stand. $150 USD. - Money left: $300 3. Talk to a pretty lady and buy her dinner. $300 USD. - Money left: $0. Might I remind you that we had a great dinner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
