There is so much competition for game systems this year. Of course we knew this was coming but how many people have the money for them? I know my kids wish they could see a ps3 under the tree this year but that is NOT going to happen. Sorry guys, your mama needs a promotion first!
Wii is the cheapest system but I hear they plan on upgrading the system and coming out with a new model this time next year. I think I can wait on that one. As of today we have one game cube, one ps2 and two xboxes. Maybe next year we can trade them all in and get a PS3??!!
Riots around the country were reported after the release of the ps3. Yes, it has been in the news everyday, on every headline and in every blog. But who is to blame? Sony only produced 400k units to be distributed. This caused mass mania. Some people waited in the rain. In one incident a man was trampled. Store employees could not handle the mobs of people rushing in. One store decided not to open and the police had to come in to control the crowd.
One city Mayor even said that he will definitely take this issue up with Sony. Sony knew what they were doing when they only released 400 thousand units during the holiday season.
I would pay a homeless guy to wait in line for my PS3

That is what some people have done. They have decided to pay homeless people to camp out in front of a target store to purchase a ticket to buy their ps3.
"A truck rolls up, one of those U-Haul type trucks, and seriously, 50 people rolled out, and he says they got them from the homeless shelter," Rosatti said.
Later the truck that dropped them off comes back to drop off food for the homeless men. They plan to pay the men $100 a day to stand in line for a ticket to purchase a PS3 unit that costs around $600.
