| BROOKLYN BROOK-erm, LEXINGTON LEXINGTON
Police are investigating a drive-by shooting involving people waiting in line for a video game. Dozens of people camped out in front the Best Buy store on Nicholasville Road. They're hoping to get their hands on a Sony PlayStation 3 console. But the wait turned serious when someone drove by and fired shots at people waiting in line. Four people were hit by the BB pellets, including 27 NEWSFIRST reporter Elizabeth Dorsett. She was interviewing someone in line at the time. None of them were seriously hurt. Police came to the store to investigate. They're still looking for a suspect. Lexington Police say they'll stay at the Best Buy to make sure people in line stay safe. The PlayStation 3 goes on sale Friday morning at eight. The consoles are selling for more than $600 a piece. I'm sorry, but is a PS3 really worth a fuckin' DRIVE-BY? (Although it was with a BB gun, so this story is, technically, a comedy.) |

Originally posted by Alastor the Stylish Simple, really. Make it hard for people to get. If people can't get it, they will have to wait with anticipation to get it. So far, its working for most people. Everyone I know is saying that the PS3 is going to be good because... well, its expensive and it is another Playstation. I asked for other reasons and they did not give me reasons. Then I asked what games and they have no idea what games are going to be available except all of EA's sports games.  This is overhyped. That is all. |

| The only games that I'm really looking forward to is the new Metal Gear game and the Final Fantasy games. And since they're not going to be out for a while, I can wait. I have enough systems and games to keep me busy for a while. Besides, I want to get a X360 this season and then next year or whenever the games that I want come out, then I can worry about the Ps3. | |||

| If Sega had offered the Saturn at a cheaper price and if they didn't piss off some major retailers, then who knows? Bad move but it was a gamble and they at least took a chance on it. | |||

Stop knocking the Saturn.  It gave us Fighting Vipers and NiGHTS. Now that's the game worth getting a Wii for...to play a new version of NiGHTS. 
I really don't wanna go to work tomorrow. In a way, I'm glad my boss'll be there, but still....is it March yet?  |

| I'm not knocking IT, I'm just saying that Sega made a few mistakes. :\
Not as many as Sony, mind you, but still. |

| Ha, it really was expected that the PS3 would come short in terms of numbers and the mounting(in Japan) numbers of malfunctioning units. CheapyD(of CheapAssGamer fame) has a video of some odd glitch on his ps3.
Problems will continue to increase in the near future. There are few games coming for the PS3 that make it a console and not a PC. I would really like to see a price drop in games and the system itself but I would also need to buy an HDTV(one that is in the compatible range, that is) when I could just upgrade my computer for a fraction of that. I am thinking there is a greater chance that for a graphical upgrade/addon for the wii than a reasonable price set for the ps3. It's nice to see with what few reviews are up on some sites that the ps3 does not have too much of an edge as a more powerful system.

| Yeah, after seeing numerous PS3's in stores today (playable), I can't say I'm all that impressed really. Especially when my friends and I were at Best Buy and the PS3 was displayed right next to the 360. With the past demonstrations by Sony and whatnot I was in the belief for most of the time here, that the PS3 would be a little step beyond other systems, but I'm taking that back now.
Oh, and the system is pretty big if you ask me, and the shape is ... downright weird. Wonder how you get a grip on it. |

Originally posted by Plus Sign Abomination I'll see your bid and raise you ONE HUNDRED MILLION US DOLLARS. Of course it's a joke/sabotage, but that fucking scalper got what he deserved. He'll get $100,000+ in eBay fees, have to wait at least a week or two (possibly more) to file his nonpaying bidder complaint, get a refund from eBay and relist the item. Fun stuff!

| Yeah, this whole thing is soooo stupid. Paying that much is ridiculous. It is a pity my mom, grandma, and others didn't take up my offer of using my hard earned money this summer to buy pre-orders across the area and pick them up for resale. Damn, damn, damn. I just bought a collection of books for school on some stuff (you'd laugh if you knew) that is completely PWNING my wallet. Let me just say that if I didn't have to buy them for next semester...I'd have a fucking Wii right now. And a DS. (edited by Plus Sign Abomination on 11-17-06 02:59 AM) |

The system itself is freaking heavy!!! Yet cool to the touch. 
So yea, the original XBox is no longer the paper weight, Ps3 is. And the box it comes in, it has a handle on it!! Hmm...gonna tone up my arms today picking that damn thing up. |

| I just checked out E-bay for PS3's. My guess-timate for how many are being sold is 16,500 PS3's for sale. This includes the fake adds and such but thats what I got from 330 pages containing 50 on each page. | |||

| That's how many auctions are up NOW and some people might wait until the weekend or later today to put theirs up. Plus some will show up on sites other than eBay.
Apparently at least three PS3 auctions were won with a bid of $15,000 - if that's NOT a joke bid, then someone just hit the jackpot. |

Originally posted by Luigi-San I hope your right, but I believe I've heard much more people praise the PS3 than the Wii. They're all ignorant. Almost every one of them says they want PS3 because of the Wii contoller. The controller will make or brake the Wii. |
