Official PlayStation 3 Thread

So if I don't care, who are all these people that do?

People who aren't you, basically.

Seriously though, Sony has built up a ton of customer loyalty over the years. The Playstation brand has been king for so long that most people just accept that it's the way to go. New Sony PS3?, they think. More of what I love only prettier? Sign me up!

You'll note that critical thought doesn't enter the process at any point.

-edit- Forgot to mention- the first PS3 games hit stores this week. Marvel Ultimate Alliance and Tony Hawk's Project 8 are now available to buy. Wheee...?

Games are a HUGE part of my life. I work in the industry. I spend the vast majority of my throw-away money on games and game-related stuff. Any time I have a day off, my first instinct is to spend it doing nothing but playing games. And you know what I think about the PS3?

Nothing, really. I just don't care at all. I'll lol if it falls flat on its face because of how arrogant Sony has become, but beyond that, I'm very ambivalent. This is the first console where I can remember feeling that way which tells me Sony's really messed up this time. I'll buy one eventually for the few exclusives (FFXIII if nothing else), but that's not saying much, as I buy every new system eventually.

So if I don't care, who are all these people that do?

You are such a nerd.

The Best Buy by my job has their demo system in. Well, a non-working mock-up, anyway. If you look in the vents the system appears to be empty and the plugs and on/off switch on the back are just stickers.

That aside, the system isn't THAT big. It's certainly no Xbox. Not as ugly in person either, through I still think it could have been designed better.

You are such a nerd.

Confirmed.

It's certainly no Xbox.

Its bigger than a 360.

[Rumpy]

It's bigger than the original. Some added pounds in there too.

[Josh]

ITS TOO BIG FOR LITTLE JAP HOUSES!

[Dolemite]

Its bigger than a 360.

Yeah, but I just said a regular Xbox, not a 360.

[Schlep]

It's bigger than they are.

[Josh]

Yeah, but I just said a regular Xbox, not a 360.
