Well now selling the PS3 may not be worth it for some since they usually only seem to go from $200 to $400 over their price now, but this idea is nice: http://cgi.ebay.com/Sony-Play-Station-3-EMPTY-BOX-ONLY_W0QQitemZ280050475643QQihZ018QQcategoryZ62054QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

If you are talking about Motor Storm then I have to say I had a somewhat different impression of it. The graphics looked insanely awesome apart from the bushes and stuff which looked added rather than natural, but the reflection mapping on the vehicles, the particle effects, and the clearness of it all was pretty damn amazing. There were some problems with anti-aliasing, and the environment I played in was somewhat drab, but it still looked insane. Also if you crash to hard into something your car explodes and you can see every part in the air, and then it does a freeze frame and does a matrix style effect around all the parts (really awesome). It may not be the best for the PS3, but I don't think the graphics can be easily dissed. Also, I thought the motion controlling was even better than the analog stick, and that it was really badass, but maybe you were playing another game. Also, everyone should see this game in action. Watch one of the gameplay videos on IGN. This is the actual gameplay, and I can't believe how close they were able to come to their E3 demo video (and this is a launch title!). http://media.ps3.ign.com/media/748/748488/vids_1.html

Lol, while I was calling KBtoys to ask them when they were selling the PS3 online they had just put it up for sale, and the representative says it sold out in two minutes. I wouldn't have bought it there anyway since they have a retarded $1000 bundle pack that doesn't even include Resistance .

Most of the people camping are resellers. Yeah, there are like 100,000 or so available in US I think, so I'm not going to be surprised if there's at least 10,000 of them up on ebay by the weekend. If I wasn't broke I would just get a Wii this weekend, but it looks like I'll have to wait awhile for that. 10,000? I'm willing to bet 50% of the launch or more are going to be ebayed. And for those who want confirmation on the Costco thing, here ya go (you need to get a forum membership to see but it's well worth it). Thank you for the tip Bahamut Anybody have a Costco membership card number I can use... Please? If not I will just have to sit and wait to see if KBtoys does anything, but Costco sounds like a good bet if I click fast (Just need a membership number) http://www.kbtoys.com/vgames/PLTPS3.html If not I guess it is back to waiting again

I doubt it will be defective since I wouldn't expect Sony to screw up another console; there are currently only a few lemons in Japan. It really depends how much you care about the money, and if you will be able to afford another PS3 later. If you have a good income then selling it would be somewhat pointless. Of course I think the PS3 will be an awesome console, so I would keep it personally, but that is just me.

Well I went to a target at 8:00 AM, and after a about five or six hours of waiting their I discovered there were only eight PS3 units at the target I went to and I happened to be number nine in line... I was actually number seven but two dicks were "reserving" spots for someone else who hadn't been there the whole day. Unfortunately the manager wouldn't do anything about it since the people made some retarded excuses saying that their cousin had to go to school; though I didn't expect the Target manager to do anything since Target sucks (Which is why I went there since I was much more likely to get one there and could have if I came the night before). Whatever I guess I have to wait. It doesn't matter too much, but it would have been nice to get one. I did however get to play the display model for about an hour and was really great (I played Motor Storm). I will tell you things I know now from having played it: -Really badass and extremely precise motion control (at least it was in the driving game I played; it looks like they put much more effort into making the motion controller good than I would have thought.) -The triggers on the back of the controller are even better than they look, I would say they are 98% as good as the triggers on the Xbox 360. -The D-pad is actually much better. It is much less slippery and hard than a Playstation 2 controller, and it has a nice slight texture on it that adheres your thumb to the pad. It may seem like a small difference to some, but I was impressed. -The game I played, Motor Storm had extremely awesome looking graphics, but it seemed to lack anti-aliasing which made things still pretty jaggy. I am guessing that this is the developers fault since I'm sure the PS3 can put up with a little bit of anti-aliasing. One thing that stood out in the game it the fact that when you crash, your vehicle explodes, and you see all of the parts in the air; then it freezes fram and does a matrix effect around every miniscule part, it was great. Anyhow, I wonder when the next shipment will be... January?

I honestly don't see how Resistance's graphics are better then the ones in Gears of War. And that's my second biggest gripe with the machine. First is the price, which means I won't even get one until like 4 years after launch, but we've been through that. The second is that the main selling point of the machine is the fact their games look prettier then everyone else's. But so far, they look pretty much the same as some of the 360 games. The price difference is huge here, and their clear-cut advantage disappears when comparing certain games? The graphics aren't better than GOW, but GOW came in an entire year after the Xbox 360 was released. I really don't think any other Xbox 360 games compare in terms of graphics; though even if you did think so I would have to point out that this game stays at a solid 30 fps even with 40 player multiplayer. And, the power still left unharnessed on the PS3 is an insane amount; these are only launch games that are looking this awesome. You'd think with all that space they have they could afford some decent anti-aliasing. That does not, however, apply to Resistance. That game looks truly kick arse. To be honest, I would expect nothing less from a $600 console. Yeah, in those screens Lair seems to be suffering a little bit from jaggies, but the game isn't a launch title and they have plenty of time to fix that. Even if it did stay that way the the videos of the game make it look so awesomely fun that I must get it whenever it comes out (as long as it gets good reviews which I am pretty damn sure it will.). You should watch the developer interview though, it sound like the controls on the game are going to utilize the six axis controller VERY nicely. I'm so excited . Resistance, for example, uses 16GB I think. Wow, what makes it so huge though? I mean, it looks like an FPS on a PC and those use DVDs. Indeed. Even gargantuan fps like UT2k4 and farcry don't take that much, I smell inflation in those numbers. The game seems good and has tons of stuff, but I don't think they crammed so much different stuff to have to use 16 gb of space, even moreso by seeing in videos and images the same enemies over and over. The format offers more than five times the storage capacity of traditional DVDs and can hold up to 25GB on a single-layer disc and 50GB on a dual-layer disc. http://www.neowin.net/index.php?act=view&id=34764 I haven't played the game so I don't know how all of this game so I don't know just how everything is utilized, but with 40 player multiplayer, massive environments, a 15 hour single player campaign, Insanely awesome normal mapping... etc I can see them using up around this much space; Though I really assume that much of the space was used up because they had the space and didn't feel like compressing things which is usually done with large DVD games. I'm pretty sure leaving it uncompressed also speeds up the game alot since the data doesn't need to be uncompressed, this may be one of the reasons why it the frame rate never hiccups throughout the entire game. Just speculation though.

Yeah, or trying to say that it couldn't possibly look like that in-game. Also, I like the start of Resistance Review on IGN:

Here is what IGN said about Resistance's frame rate:

Look at the awesomeness of the games. Screw everything else for now. One launch game and one game that will probably come out sometime within a few months of launch that look fucking badass: Lair - Video - http://media.ps3.ign.com/media/761/761161/vids_1.html Resistance: Fall of Man - Video - http://media.ps3.ign.com/media/748/748483/vids_1.html We get a KILLER APP day ONE. Also another game I might consider picking up at launch: Untold Legends: Dark Kingdom - Video - http://media.ps3.ign.com/media/814/814614/vids_1.html

If the line is greater than like...5 people, probably not. Yeah, I know that. I am just curious if it will be.

My friend and I plan on camping out on Thursday, but not this early... Do we have a chance?

The only case I have that even closely resembles that is the tin that Serenity came in, and even then a normal DVD case was inside. That won't stick out further when put on a shelf with normal games/DVDs, will it? I hope not... It looks kind of squat so maybe it's the same height as a regular DVD case. There is enough wasted space in regular DVD cases as it is that I sure hope they don't make them bigger. I guess the blue part is supposed to indicate it's a Blu-Ray game, but if there are DVD games for the PS3 will they be in regular cases? It would suck to have more than one type of case. I'm totally into having my games looking neat on a shelf. I don't have a source, but I am positive I read in one of my gaming magazines (Game Informer or PSM) that Sony has decided that ALL PS3 games are going to be on Blu-Ray disks, no mix of Blue-ray and DVD.

Wow, that is really interesting; I wish I could read it though. Wow looks just like the insides of a ps2 conrtoller. well except for the battery pack and the leds. Similar, but there actually quite a few differences. http://www.takeitapart.net/archives/ps2-controller/

Wow, that is really interesting; I wish I could read it though.

Well, ethics towards their customers is extremely important; but I have never had any problems with Sony.

Since when have I become the representative of Sony? I couldn't care less what the company does. Kill off small businesses? Do I give a shit? No. All I care about is the games. Everything else is just politics, and extremely stupid politics at that. If you are going to get up in arms about something, there are many more pressing matters in the world today. Video games are not that important. Damn right. QFE.

And the Cell processors are formed from the tears of a thousand weeping rape victims. Each. And the vibration in the controllers? They were made by vibrating fairies. WHICH ARE NOW EXTINCT. Wow, awesome.

Well, it is hard to resist making so much money by doing so little. I want a PS3 extremely bad, but if I did get my hands on one, even I might sell it for the insane prices that they are going for on Ebay. I just have to wait for the second shipment to arrive. I do think it will be more than worth it's original $600 price tag when I do get it though.

I want to buy one of the shirts, but I am not sure how problematic the static of it's material will be. I have several pets (and live in an extremely dry area), and have purchased several shirts that are unwearable because of they are way too static-attrative. So, how are these shirts regarding static?

When I saw the trailer yesterday I was in awe. I have nothing important to say about it; All I will say is, "Wow.". Also, I wonder if it supports uploading the stats and trophies from the GC SSMB -- I spent so much time playing that game.

I have only posted in one other remix review. I only post in ones that I think are extremely good, and this song is flawless, I love it. Excellent job, can't wait to hear more from you, Trenthian.

I hardly post here, mostly just download songs, but damn that was awesome. I love your style Protricity.That was the one song in Zombies Ate my Neighbors that needed a remix, and you more that covered it. More please...
