Did anyone here get a PS3 when it was released? I find it a bit rediculous that someone would spend $600 for a gaming system.
Although I think if someone wanted to buy one for profit, that's just pure genius. I know of someone who got offered a car for their PS3. That's just insane. That's also crazy people are willing to spend $2,000+ for a gaming system. That's like half of my car payment for a year. Insane.
There was an article in the paper here stating that people here waited in line from Monday until yesterday for the new PS3.
Thoughts?

I agree - The PS3 is so insanely expensive! I can't believe that so many people are buying it now.
I guess for some people it is that important :P I would never wait in line for three days... for anything! Nevermind a horribly over priced game!
I can think of 2 thousand ways to better spend that money...

I think if you are very fond of video games especially of sony video games : you are willing to do whatever it is possible to get the new PLAYSTATION 3 even spending a lot of money . moreover , this console is said to be very powerful : the pictures are beautiful, they seem to be real

Sony said that the PS3 was going to be a generational leap, but it doesnt seem like that to me. Look at the graphics compared to the Xbox 360, its basically the same thing. The SIXAXIS controller bugs out on its own, plus you have to keep plugin it in to the system and take it out to use the wireless feature every time you turn it on. Plus it has 8 freaking CPU's but it cannot multitask, not even custom tracks.
The Wii seemd really fun, but you need money inorder to actually have fun with it. The batteries only last 20 hours max. The classic controller connects to the Wii-mote and contribute to the battery power life. The graphics arent that much big, but u can expect that from Nintendo. They could have atleast made it a little more detailed, only a handfull of games look clean. Most of the games are inresponsive to the wii-mote and that makes the game boring. There is no online multiplayer and wont be any for quite sum time.
The 360 has been out for a year now and i've seen tons of games that are good for it. personally I would get that if you do not own it already. The controller is better, the graphics are clean, the frame rate is generally good for most games, good backwards compatibility, the best online multiplayer availible, and what more can I say. The Xbox 360 has my vote.

I agree. The pricing is ridiculous, and nobody is going to buy a PS3 probably until 2008, when (and if) it gets cheaper.
