More like just shock and people not budging. Theres over 100 people at Circuit City in Union Square already.

Thanks for trying your best to keep up with the low standards btw.

You do realize that this makes no sense? A joke isn't acceptable but pure gloating is? Dude, whatever. You need to learn that everything posted here isn't going to be run past you for approval. Get over it.

you guys know the answer to the 7 controller issue, yet you still try to pass it off as something astonishing and something outrageous!

7 controllers, its what bluetooth does. 4 controllers for 4 person play on 1 screen. Room for bluetooth keyboard, mouse, headsets, maybe even the new eyetoy goes through bluetooth, ect. ect. ect.

its 4 game controllers and 3 for accessories. Next there willbe "oh but then what if the 4th person wants a headset! boo-urns!" Well then person 4 can either go fuck themselves or plug in their game controller and go wireless with the headset.

I can't believe they didn't even put in a component cable for the $600 package. That's some shit right there.

Dude. The Wii is the ONLY new system I'm psyched about.

The jist of what I was saying:

All 3 "next gen" systems are overwhelmingly tiny steps better than the original Xbox in terms of what I'm seeing them throw up on the screen.

Sony and MS seem to think they have magical uber hardware and are charging 100 bazillion dollars for the same damn stuff our old Xbox can do. But with more lines of resolution. Wheeeee!!!!

Nintendo at least is not pricing it like it's magical uber hardware and throwing a new controller at us.

Not this shit again. There is no way in hell the xbox could produce anything near the quality that 360 has producing as of late. Look at GoW, Splinter Cell, Rainbow Six, Viva, Oblivion, Dead Rising, GRAW... the list goes on.

Yeah. When there's a fifth player, the first and fourth light will be lit. Six would be acknowledged by the second and fourth and the seventh by the first, second and fourth. I haven't fooled around with those extra ports just yet (damn thing has something for everything.)

I was thinking about stopping by to put my name in the drawing tomorrow night after work (9:30 pm), since its right on my way home. I'm certainly not going to buy the system now, but hey, if I can maybe get one for free, I'd give that a shot, no matter what the odds. But if there is a ridiculous amount of people there already, I'm having second thoughts. Anyone going to check it out tomorrow night?

How are they doing the drawing for the free systems? Do you just drop your name in a box, or submit it through someone there? The less time spent there, the better.

And those of you looking to heckle, we should print out flyers that just have that one posting that Icarusfall made (about getting shanked, all for resistance) and pass it to everyone in line. Just tell them "important information about the playstation 3 launch."

Im kind of confused with the Union Square situation. CC said that each store is getting 100 systems only. So the first 100 people are getting it. But they also said that 100 PS3s are going to be given away at the Union Square location and 5 at the other CCs. Now, if CC is getting 100 and they're giving away 100, that means their getting 200 and not 100.

Then again, I could just be stupid or its their wording.

Thats the impression I got, is that they are selling 100, then giving away 100 additional systems to people in a drawing. Is anyone close, that they can find out whats happening, by stopping by? If not, I'll stop by on the way home tonight (7pm) and find out what the deal is.

If we can put our names in anytime, anyone down for submitting our names, going to grab a drink or two, then heading back there at midnight to see if we won? Depending on the drawing system, I think this is what I will do, since I dont want to hang out around that crowd. I know Toys R Us in Times Square did this last year with the 360, giving out systems based on a drawing.
