Mikay D Is Angry

Man I went to my local game stop and they are out of ps3' s. So I go home and call around but to no avail they are all out of them man this sucks.

Well, I always thought there would be MILLIONS of PS3' s available! So I didn' t
reserve mine, but man, based on the luck you' re having, I think I might do
that.. Wouldn' t want to assume Sony had too many launch units available.

Tiz, could you not have used a font that actually showed the sacasm dripping for that post?

***flyingsaucersdisguisedasmushrooms***
***mushroomsinvadingfromouterspace***

Hehe..

What sarcasm?

Are the different fonts disabled or something?

You could almost process that sarcasm and sell it on the black market!

Oh teh noes! None of the pro-Sony Kikizo users will have PS3' s bfore 2007, while us 360 owners will be playing tons of next-gen digital goodness like Gears of War and Rainbow Six...

Mikay, maybe you can pick up a Wii instead.

Might have something to do with the PS3 not having been released yet. But keep trying! I hear 7-11 has them, and Circle K is making a big comeback soon.

lmao i love your posts

NiGHTS into Dreamcast

I got mine pre-ordered.

Sony' s launch is gonna be messed up for various reasons. I' ll list a few:

A) 500,000 units world-wide.
B) Gamestop has been reporting that initial shipments will be 4 or 5 units per store.
C) Pre-orders are gonna be sh*tty on a greater scale than the 360 was (considering they had more units available at launch and people were STILL getting pre-orders filled in March of the next year!)
D) A rep at Gamestop told me that if a person is not there to pick up their system right away (he says he doesn' t know how many hours we' re talking about, but it will be measured in HOURS) then they will sell their units.

Considering the " 4 or 5 units per store" , I think it' s CRAZY for anyone to believe that anybody other than store employees or their close friends are gonna get those units. If you' ve pre-ordered, don' t be surprised when they say, " Sorry" when you show up to get your console.

I' ll wait until they work out the bugs in the hardware. Sony consoles always have bugs at the beginning. You' re lucky if you get one that keeps on working. The Xbox360 was the same way.

Also, the " short supply" is a tactic used to create a larger demand for the product. The harder it is to get, the more people want it and the more media attention it creates. More people talk about it, the media reports how it always sells out within seconds of being stocked, casual people think this is the biggest thing to happen on the planet EVAR, and Sony is pleased. Worked with the Xbox360.

After all of the warnings about poor availability, did you really think it' d be that easy to get one? Very very few people will have a PS3 this Christmas. The rest will have to just Wii/360 it.

I think it' s CRAZY for anyone to believe that anybody other than store employees or their close friends are gonna get those units.

I think you' re exactly right about that. I called a couple of locations to no avail. I only wanted one to re-sell it, so no luck for my devious scalping plans.

Yeah i don' t know if anyone has seen this but some fool has been selling his preorder reciept for US$1,000,000 - the reciept! which has only paid US$100 of and the docket doesn' t clearly show the ps3 as the object being pre ordered.

It has begun!!

Actually, I' m not allowed to buy a launch PS3 from my store....

That' s when Gamestop employees team up with, ummm, Gamecrazy employees (I guess... don' t know of any other game store in existence but EB and they ARE Gamestop) and buy each other' s PS3 stocks.

I went to my store and asked to preorder a PS3, and then he told me it would be availeble in march, and i say like WHAT? Thats like 5 months? not 5 days after the the USA launch?

So I preordered GoW instead

I get that but i' m not sure others will.

As for the PS3 pre-orders - GameStop sold out quickly, claimed quicker than 360 which is pretty obvious as Sony have far less units available. GameStop and EB got on average 8 machines per store, 2 of which could be sold to staff and the rest will obviously go to the people they have made arrangements for.

I' m pretty sure that there are no machines left to pre order so if you didn' t get yours reserved then you' re sh!t out of luck.

Chances of you getting one before February/March = Nil

Well im in Europe, so it is Nil no matter what ;)

And im not getting one, it was a sarcasm post ;)

Majik hasn' t heard about his yet. It' s paid for in full too so if he gets f**ked over he won' t be happy...

Its not impossible that even people who payed in full get screwed as well, I remember when I prepaid for the PSP core pack I recieved a phone call informing me that I had to buy the Gretski pack (a special torture that only Canadians had because we all love hockey so much).

the fact is they simply do not know for certain how many PS3s they' ll get. Numbers change, but Gamespot do not have the decency to let that stop them from taking pre-orders.

I ordered mine from AudioCubes.com within minutes of them starting their pre-orders. When you go there now you get THIS

So as long as i was in the first 150 i may be ok. Ofcourse, i knew the risk but i did do it when they started taking pre-orders last month. I' ll be [bPISSED if they screw me though, even if it wouldn' t enough to stop be importing through them.

I was expecting confirmation now the pre-orders are oficial but i haven' t had anything since i got the " Your order has been recieved" email the same day i put it through, but sure enough, they charged my card for £400 so whether i get it in November or not, it' s paid for and i' ll have it before the European launch. Hopefully.

How come your preordering it? Why not wait for European release and have the kinks worked out?

My launch 360 didn' t have any problems. Plus, i will sell it to some unsuspecting fool before the European launch (like 2 weeks before) and he' ll think it' s awesome that he can have it before anybody else. I' ll sell it so some idiot on my course (and there are a few) and charge him over the odds.

Mikay i feel your pain man but im sure you will find one, whereas i have to wait a good 5months maybe even more.

Just dont let the anger and hate consume you because that leads to you becoming a HEARTLESS and i cant have my boss becoming mad.

SORA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

ill help you SORA!!!!!!!!!

How do you even know who Anita is?!

As for GRAW, ...you will get raped and cry so i' d suggest getting a few people together to help you. In fact, why don' t you find 2 people and play Tiz, Quez and myself?! I' ll even record the match from my viewpoint and upload it for everybody to download...

How do you even know who Anita is?!

Because Tiz rang me saying

" Ed are you Anita?"

i replied saying

" What the fuck are you talking about and calling him a bastard"

Its not the first time when Tiz accused me of being someone else, Z.O.E for exmaple i am used to it NOW.

But seriously i will take your FACE in GRAW.

You can' t blame us, i mean, you do have a strange gender bending obsession with wanting to come accross as female... And you do formulate your posts alike, ...both CAPSing random words. But hey, it' s not like we really care, we' re only playing with you. No need to take it seriously.

I' m not sure what " take your FACE.." means but should the match ever happen i will be sure to start a thread and upload the video showing you getting your ass handed to you while we all laugh at your girly grenade throws...

id admit i am not a girl i was just playing with ya, yeh and the caps thing ive been doing that ever since i was 10. THAT still doesnt justify me being Anita.

When i finish with you in GRAW you will be bleeding through your eyes.

My GAMERTAG is Rusanagi

Rest in PEACE Cetra and GANGSTA you guys will be missed..........

You don' t have GRAW yet?!

So just add me unless your scared.

I can understand why the sheer presence of that name is quite frightening.
