Bundling in any low-grade rubbish then. That's why bundles suck - you get games you'd never buy ordinarily.
Ummm. It's less than 10 hours old.Maybe a bit of a rush to judgement there?
Where'd you get the 200k number from?
All over the place. IGN, retailer repors, even the CFO of EA said that Sony would only ship around half of what they promised.
And regarding the bundles, I suspect Sony is thrilled to have them considering retailers like EB/Gamestop probably only sold 1 or 2 games for every 10 systems, since all of the rest were headed to Ebay.
Oh, I'd guess that'll be gone before Christmas. Just shaking down the bleeding edge early adopters for everything they can get away with. God bless early adopters, taking a bullet for the rest of us.

Innovators! Not early adopters!
Very nice. And what textbook did you get that out of? And did they use "innovators" because "pigeons" sounded a little too insulting?
Yes. Don't you dare play it all day and night now!! Your job is to write here. You are allowed 10-minute playign sessions, followed by a detailed report here after each session.
You'll do us a tremendous favor if you can share your experiences with us online as much as possible! Same goes for others here who get one ... clue us in!
Well theres not much to say, I'm having a great time right now.
You guys pretty much know everything there is to know.
As for personal things, I really hope sony allows us to multi-task downloads in the next firmware upgrade. Not really stressing it because IIRC the xbox did something similar till it's update.
As I said before, the thing is big and shiny. I figured it would be quiet, but not this quiet. I'm standing like a foot away from it and I cant hear a thing.
Happy to say my bluetooth headsets Motorola HS850 & HS820 work perfectly fine. Me and my cousin (hes in another state with his ps3) were trying out the quality and its pretty good.
Swing me some questions and I'll be happy to answer. Can't think of anything right now, back to resistance.
What length of USB cable comes in the box for charging/using the controller? Is it a good few metres long and suitable for wired play? Or do you have to wait for it to charge?

Its pretty short, I'm using it for charging up the spare controller but I'd rather use my other usb cable (10 foot) for actually play and charging at the same time. Kinda sucks the controller didnt come with another cable, luckly I have about 4 from all types of devices.
But wireless is pretty good, has really good range and no delay at all from what I can tell.
I don't recall much mention of it in the last year or so but can anyone remember the UK PS2 launch, the way I got mine on launch day (i'm a bit fuzzy it was a while ago so this may not be exactly right) was that Sony put up a websiter a few months before launch where you could register to buy one, there was a bit of internet frenzy to register but basically everybody that was interested got the same chance and if you registered before the cut off you got sent some kind of voucher that you could take to your favourite store to pre-order, the stores then got allocated PS2's based on the number of registered customers that had ordered and as far asI know that's what they received.
End result only one registration per address (ok I am sure some scalpers registered at relatives etc, but they had to be quick) but a fairly orderly ordering process, you get to pick up on launch, high street stores got people through the door on launch day to buy extras that they could make some money on and everyone was happy and no ugly scenes
I thought it was great, hope they repeat again when they launch PS3 in UK.
got my ps3 in, it sure is big and shiny.
Congrats dude!
Pretty decent review, though it still has a few errors - evidently they didn't discover the triangle yet for browsing iPods and such, they have 32 rather than 40 for Resistance's multiplayer, they make a mess of the sixaxis motion sensing, but all in all it's a competent review. They may also be mistaken about the whole faceplate thing, but that's forgiven - until someone figured out how easy the top slides off, nobody had a clue.
The Wii has 512MB of Flash memory, not sure what all it can be used for.
Edit: Actually those specs list is rather comical. The Wii has a joystick type controller? Lol, I guess the nunchuck could count as that, but what the hell about the Wiimote?
