we want your oil!
sony said there's no other way of launching a product. that's bullshit, they just want the publicity. now there's kids getting attacked and robbed in the streets.Originally Posted by ram82082
they could have done it mail order only and it would have sold out as quick. just wouldn't have got stories about people fighting for playstations in the news

lol, i've did my share of shooting pistols and rifles while in the military. i'm pretty confident in my shooting skillz so i'd just conceal my .45 while i wait in line for the gay3 (not that i'd wait for a console). oops, be4 someone gets angry... ps3. sure, i don't wanna die, but if someone pulls a weapon, u'd better use it be4 i do. go XBOX360!

I didn't read all that you said, but the first line. That is exactly what the topic of this thread is about, them being lame for stay in line for 3-4 days to get a system. Any system I don't care, I want a PS3 myself, but I will not stay in line for 4 days to get one. Get a a life you toad.

they could've avoided the shortage (and the ridiculous retail price) by leaving out the blu-ray drive & just using standard dvd-rom. that blu-ray drive is expensive as fuck to manufacture, and has been very difficult to manufacture in large enough quantity. the videogames don't even need it... sony just wanted to use PS3 to beat toshiba's hd-dvd in the movie format battle.
good god.
i don't dislike sony any more than the other videogame companies. alright, i do have a place in my heart for sega. but i'm willing to acknowledge they all do their share of bad & stupid. sony, however. sony, however. the playstation brand name is so strong that it will easily beat xbox360 & wii, but damn, sony sure did spend the past year trying to sabotage the PS3's launch every way they could. the horrible, boring, ridiculous press conferences. 600 DOLLARS. GIANT ENEMY CRAB JUST LIKE IN JAPAN HISTORY. suing hong kong export sites (see: lik-sang.com) out of existence. etc etc. completely foolish arrogance. then the day comes when they're finally supposed to release the PS3, and they release fewer than a half-million PS3s to a huge country where people have been queued up outside of stores for a week. what a way to completely bungle the launch. they squandered a whole lot of customer excitement in the past year, just did everything they could to rain on their own parade... then when the product is supposed to fill the store shelves, there isn't enough of it to actually fill the store shelves.
i believe that most game consoles have a very poor selection of games for approx the first year. first year of PS2, the games looked worse than dreamcast. first year of xbox360, the games were just not very exciting or unique. okay, so... the games available for PS3 right now are prolly not very good... but nobody really knows for sure (not from first-hand experience, anyway) because hardly anybody who wants to PLAY PS3 actually owns one. the PS3s are all sitting un-played on ebay.
good grief.
sony themselves should've just auctioned the PS3s directly on ebay. cut out the middlemen. supply the mailman with a gun, so he can shoot the customer when he delivers the PS3. all the benefits of living in front of walmart for a week (getting a PS3, getting shot), none of the hassle (spending a week outdoors in the cold).
Use Logic Or STFU!
Yeah if Sony had eBayed the PS3s they'd have recouped their manufacturing cost easily, that's for sure.
They'd be in the black right now.
