PS3 Preordering

4 High · #1 10-10-2006, 10:52 AM

Anyone else go out and preorder one this morning? I got to my gamestop at 9am one hour before opening i was 10th in line. I had heard they were getting 16 so i was happy, but others heard 10, either way i should be ok. Folks were nice. Talked to a hardcore chick whos in a top clan that goes to E3 and such every year, people were cool. I ended up ordering PS3 Special Edition (AKA not the crapbox) Rainbow Six 3 Vegas and Call of Duty 3. All told not too bad. Ill gladly take 1 hour on a nice day in October rather then 12 plus hours in freezing night in Novemeber at best buy.

a] I thought no one was taking preorders for the PS3

b] I can't imagine spending well over $700 at launch for a system +other stuff

I'm curious as to why you want a PS3 over any of the other next-gen consoles.

I don't get it either. It's massively overpriced and it will be only slightly better than the 360 in hardware terms, whatever Sonys propagandists would have you believe. For me, buying a console is always wanting to get my hands on a specific game. What specific killer apps are going to be PS3 only then?

I have two reserved through EB (had someone else go and put one in their name too). I'll be putting them both up on the Bay.

If at a later time I decide I want one, then I can just use the profits from one of the sales to pick it up.

4,

I have purchased or recieved as a Gift almost every kind of system since a Vic 20 (atari, commodores, NES, SNES etc etc Sega consoles whatever [ok no Dreamcast but that thing sucked)

I have intrest in this system, only to see it but I'm not going to buy it anytime soon. At just about a 1k start up cost it just aint worth it yet.

When the price gets slashed 30% I'll think about it
