PS3
 

I sold my old computer for $800 a week ago, I'm going to take $600 and buy the new PS3.

I read online that each store is only going to have 10 - 15 PS3s? If this is true, I'm never going to get one, considering there's already a line outside my local Target and Best Buy of people camping out to be the first people to get it. When do we get the next shipment?

If you havn't preordered it, good luck getting it before new years.

It's called ebay! :p

I was really hoping Sony would lose money off this because they're fucking tossers. But people keep feeding them their hard earned (who are we kidding) cash.

He said he sold his computer for only 800, not 2,500 :rolleyes:

I wish you the best of luck!

The latest figures for the first shipment are around 200,000 for NA.

Next shipment will probably be first week of December, and every two weeks afterwards.

Levon, Ebay is for people who have money.

Anyone who buys a PS3 and sells it on Ebay is also what we call a "wanka".

Dar_Win, almost forgot.

Post piccytures! Of the console, pad, games, disks, PS Store, XBM, anything!

And please tell us what your first impressions are when you get it. :)

Speaking of ps3, I had a dream last night that I drove my works forklift to a best buy and went to some display that was full of the lower edition of the ps3. There were at least 20 systems there. Then the manager staff came and took the forklift back, so I went up to the front where there was a long long long line to order the ps3, and I looked near where the xbox and nintendo shit was for the high end one. No luck.

Then I woke up, and now I have a headache.

The way to make that dream better would be:

a) Be at the front of the line
b) Have the PS3
c) Wake up and STILL have the PS3.

The thing you need to worry about is dreaming of the PS3 for a week straight... and doing so every single week until March.

THEN complain of the headache.

Some buddys of mine are 15th in line at the local Best Buy. The best buy is getting 40. I'm gona run over tonight at 2:00 AM and stand in line with them.


(The said the line is wrapped around the store twice it's so long.)

Jaysus.

Best wishes to you.

If you manage to get a PS3 then you will be my God!!

Any idea which games you might buy with it?

Definitely Madden '07.

Any suggestions?

Gimme a mo. I've got to find the list of launch titles. :p No point recommending what isn't out.

Let's see...

If you like FPS', then definitely Resistance.
RR7 looks like a good game, if you're interested in racing games.
And Project 8 is supposed to be very entertaining... but, again, only if you're into the genre.

Here's what you can choose from, btw:

- Mobile Suit Gundam: Crossfire
- Tiger Woods PGA Tour 07
- Call of Duty 3
- NHL 2k7
- Genji 2: Days of the Blade
- Untold Legends: Dark Kingdom
- Madden NFL 2007
- Marvel Ultimate Alliance
- NBA '07
- NBA 2k7
- Resistance: Fall of Man
- Ridge Racer 7
- Tony Hawk’s Project 8

I fucking hate Best Buy.....

I wasted hours upon hours infront of that stupid fuck store, then at the last mother fucking minute, they decide not to release it.

Why the hell would they do that?!

rofl. did it cause riots

In reply to shipments:

They expect there to be 4 or 5 shipments before the end of the year.

As there are only 6 weeks left until 2007, that's about 1 shipment per 1.5 weeks.

God, you lucky bastards.

I got one...Not that great IMO maddens way better looking on the 360

Don't forget that that's a launch title for a console that's just released. The 360 has been out for a year next Wednesday, which means developers have been able to tap some of the power of the console.

2007 is when it all happens for the PS3 - Assassin's Creed, Warhawk, MGS4, Motorstorm, Lair.

Well done for getting one.

Pix? :)

I saw one (in a display case) in the nearest Walmart.

My impression was that it is big, really big. Might as well just get an actual computer.

If you turn it on its side it looks like a scanner

Personally I prefer the George Forman grill look...

Did you get any other games?

Talking about the grill.... anyone for Tacos?

If I want a PS3 I'll pick one up in Japan made custom to take english games or even better order it although, I was thinking on buying their PS3 consoles for cheap yen in Japan and then selling them here for big bucks, after all isn't that the way the americans made their economy?

Why do you need to customise it for English games?

Two points:

- Where games are concerned, the console AND all the games are region free
- They're on Blu-Ray discs so the developer can stick all languages on the one disc and still have space to work out Pi to 32 million places.

The games don't have regions. Apparently, the movie player does, however.

I don't see the point in making a new thread for this, so:

A group of "dedicated fans" have got XP running via some emulation on Fedora Core 5 Linux.

I'm guessing they used Wine. I know this program allows you to use Windows based prohgrams on Linux, so it's probably just a varient program.

If you actually read the article, you'll notice that it shows the XP startup screen, which would imply that they are using a PC emulator to run real XP software, whereas wine only emulates the Windows environment. Really, for XP to be usefull on the PS3, they have to, since noone compiles Windows software for the Cell Broadband Engine.

Yea, thats why I siad it was something like a varient of wine. I couldnt think of it, so I used wine as an idea ground since it emulates programs.

Ima have to see what it may be, so i'll post/edit later.

It's nothing like wine. Wine is a layer to make Windows apps work as part of X. What they are doing is like Virtual PC, which emulates the processor and BIOS.

WIn4Lin or WMware?

Something like that maybe?
