My dad wants to go back at about 3am and rob the *******, he figured at least half of them are carrying cash.


Did you hear on the news that 2 men robbed the Target line at gun point and some guy got shot in the chest for not giving up his PS3 money HAHAHA

The wii is pretty much awesome. If you goto any of the Eb's or game stops, they should have a wii setup to play. Give it a shot, the controller is really fun and very original for consoles. Id for sure go with the wii over the ps3. **** play station.

I got pissed at sony for reasons other then their ps3 launch, but i still decided to wait, only one thing really pushed me to the xbox. I like my ps2, but i really only play online, i rarely even play an offline game. Sony's online for the ps2 was ****, the whole setup was left to the game manufacturer and in many cases didn't ever happen, like gran turismo ( i tested the online and it still aint out). So when they said the ps3 online was going to managed the same way I said **** it and bought the 360.



That aside, I think sony will see a much smaller market share mainly due to their insistance on their blue ray crap that no one buying a playstation gives a **** about, but are forced to pay for it. microsoft and sony will share the market that sony has dominated in the past.



Nintendo is going to tap a whole different market, one i think neither sony or microsoft have tapped or really even attempted to tap and I think they will do quite well. I think they are going to get a market that in the past had little interest in a dedicated gaming system and i think due to their pricing and innovative design they will grab people who either already have the xbox or ps. i see a very limited number of people owning both an 360 and a ps3

This time around, Sony tried pulling their "We didn't make enough, sorry guys" routine to create a "shortage" in order for more people to demand the product. Unfortunate thing for them this time around though is that the 360 is no longer in high demand and Nintendo's shipping tons of Wiis out as fast as possible. In other words, when people realize that their preorder is no longer valid, they'll more than likely say **** it and get either the 360 or Wii (or both, since it'd cost the same.) As for me, I'm going to definitely wait until the PS3 demand is down and they have an awesome game out. Wii's got Zelda, 360's got Gears.

The Wii was launched today up here.



Some homeless guys in Toronto staked out a store to get several of the front places for PS3 and sold their place in line. Amazing that they continue to be homeless, yet have the smarts to do that.
