PlayStation 3
Tonight at midnight was the launch of the new PlayStation. The new Nintendo Wii launches Saturday at midnight (technically Sunday). I noticed something funny a few days ago in Wal-Mart: nearly all of the controller section of hangers had been cleared out, and new price tags had been put in place. About 8 were for Wii controllers; 2 were for PS3 controllers. I chuckled to myself at how much they were obviously pushing the Wii.
So tonight, I walk in 20 minutes after the PS3 went on sale to see people just leaving with their new $600 toys. I talked to one of the electronics workers (Eric Austin, who, by the way, will be a father in a couple of months), and found out they 6 total PS3 units. Damn.
So I walk to electronics, and still, no PS3 controllers; no PS3 games either. But there do happen to be SEVERAL Wii controllers and games.

We were in Target around 8 p.m. Wednesday and there was about a dozen people lined up in lawn chairs awaiting the PS3. I don't know if Target was staying open beyond its usual 10 p.m. close or those folks were waiting overnight. Either way, it's a bit much for a video console. To me, anyway.
Simo and Celia totally did that shit for the Wii (according to Stoner). I refuse to do that kinda stuff, cause it's not worth it. There will be more if the market supporst the console and if any batch is buggy, it's gonna be the first. Grats to Eric and Erin. How was the fest? And Casino Royale outright destroys all James Bond continuity.
