I don't think MS anticipated this amount of traffic. I expect it will improve greatly in a short period of time.
I like the idea of renting hi-def movies, but I want them quicker. At most it should be an overnight deal.
If Sony underdelivered on their PS3's...why are they selling so cheaply on Ebay?
How hard was this guy bowling? Looks like he might have broken a sweat. You could hurt yourself.
The problem with a lot of the comments here is they come off sounding fanboyish. MS rocks, Sony blew it...let's take the other consoles out of the conversation.
This is not a good launch for Sony. The games are lackluster, and there's not much on the immediate horizon to alleviate that. I go to Gamefly and most of the dates for games I want to play are "to be determined".
The problem is one of disappointing your core audience. Sony's hyped this cons...
Let's face it, long lines of sleep deprived people create a hostile environment. Sony should pay for the cops.
I'm putting mine in the local classifieds over Thanksgiving weekend. I don't want to pay fees or face the perils of shipping it.
I was one of the many who had a console in their cart, and couldn't get to checkout. Four hours of back and forth, praying it would go through. No such luck. Oh well, better than standing out in the cold for three days.
Dj, please look at software sales. I'm not arguing that Sony sold that many consoles, just that there's not that many Sony owners.
A lot of people bought it to sell it. Look at Ebay, right now 35,000 are on the auction block, and I don't know how many have sold already. In my line of 8 people at Gamestop, half were planning to sell.
I was told a future shipment in 2-3 weeks, and that was the last they were expecting. And that makes sense to me.
Sony is flying these things in, not shipping them. They need to send a lot of them to be cost effective, and so that there's less sporadic results. Really the same thing happened with the 360, so I'm not sure why you're tearing into Xgamer.
Question is what games would you pick?
My three right now would be Gears of War, Viva Pinata, and Burnout.
I just got this from Gamefly today. Played it for ten minutes then bought it off the website. The graphics are gorgeous and from just a small taste of gameplay I know this one's a keeper.
I had thought it was turn-based, for some reason. Certainly looking good.
I need two for my office. (=
I will never walk through Compusa's doors again.
I don't know why Sony would want to pull themselves off of newsstands...so it becomes a magazine only, is that so horrible?
Less units = higher prices.
So he didn't want the OS and Dell refunded the money for the OS....is this a story? I returned some socks the other day, maybe I should have alerted the media.
That's where my money is commercials that show Halo3, Gears of War, Viva Pinata, etc. 'Tis the season.
Let's just say millions of ps2 owners out there, okay? Game sales are a pretty decent indicator of how many consoles are out there, in my opinion. I mean, during the lifespan of the ps2 I owned two of them, not to mention all the people that ran out to buy the slimline version.
But camping for ten days...and you plan on keeping it too? You have to be out of your friggin' mind. I figured the last Star Wars movies would have weeded this type of behavior out. "I waited i...
I hope both formats die a painful death.
