We Got PS3′s Here!

Submitted by Richard Windsor on January 10, 2007 – 7:49 pm9 Comments

I think by now everyone knows that PS3′s are readily availible for purchase at almost every outlet, but when I saw the sign above at my local Best Buy I just had to speak with them to find out how they are selling.

I spoke with with a bright young man who told me that they had gotten a shipment of 15 PS3′s a week after Xmas. He said that of those 15, 13 still remain in stock. He said that it was the reason for putting up the sign in the entryway. He said the sign had been up for 2 days yet still no takers. I asked him if he was planning to buy one and he said as soon as it’s worth it he might consider it. I really hope this pattern does not keep up because even though I prefer the Xbox 360 as a gaming platform I do want a PS3 in the future, but if the damn thing doesn’t start to sell you never know what could happen.

Do you guys want a PS3 and are just waiting for a price drop or are you waiting for that one killer app before taking the plunge? Let us know in the comments.

I’m not aware of a single PS3 game on the horizon for which I have any interest whatsoever. I hope it stays that way, too, as I’d rather spend the cash on games for my 360 than more hardware.

Why should I get a PS3? I dont have space for another console, and It doesnt offer anything the X360 cant give me! Even if the PS3 drops to $200 I still dont see the point, Id rather use that money to buy more games for my 360!

The 360 has a better controller, better online service, better exclusives, Overall the 360 is a better choice for me! What others think.. I dont know, nor care!

I won’t buy one until I see a half dozen good games.

I guess it depends on what games you want to play. I’m all in for Devil May Cry and MGS. Lots of the multi-platform titles look good too. I like the sony controller design about as much as the xbox, maybe more because I’m used to it.

There are 2 reasons I don’t have a ps3 at this moment (I’d be playing Resistance or Blazing Angels now instead of writing):

1. College costs. Lots of 18-24 year olds, which I am smack in the middle of, have to get cash together for that higher education that everyone thinks is important. I’ve got to drop 1600 on a semester of housing. I can’t afford -any- system let alone the one I want. Wiis are much more parent-wallet friendly.

2. I can’t find one. Even if I could afford it, I couldn’t buy it. Bestbuy, walmart, gamestop, game crazy, shopko, k-mart… none. No one had one. Shopko had 3 more wiis on the shelf, but I’m sure they sold with decent speed for the above reason.

I personally wouldn’t buy a PS3 if it was cheaper than the Wii. In fact I would not buy one at any price right now because there are no (zip, zero, nada)games that interest me in the least. Motorstorm perhaps, but it isn’t out yet and beyond that…? Maybe if I had a 50+ inch 1080p TV I would pick one up for BluRay movies if it was less than $200 but I’m really not interested in BluRay to be honest.

I prefer the Wii60 combo. The PS3 doesn’t have much to pull me in at that price. I can get way more out of a combo of the Wii and 360…it’s just that simple. No one in the world can prove me wrong ATM.

I have high hopes for the PS3. But I’m waiting for a game that I really like. I’m waiting for the price drop and most importantly I buy a console after there are vast library of games I’m dieing to play.

Its just the game selection. And the fact that we are post-xmas, slowest time of the year for sales AND games.

But March will be a breakout month I think – Motorstorm, Heavenly Sword and F1. Thats a great lineup. UK launch will have some buzz as well.
