PS 3 Adventure - New Year’s Day

So I decide to visit my cousin who lives near Woodbury Commons in NY for New Years and we decide to hit up a Best Buy. We walk in on a quest for Mario Hoops and Naruto for the DS, during the car ride over my cousin tells me how a buddy of his had found him a PS3 earlier in the week, but he decided against it and would wait until he finds one himself in a store. We walk over to the electronics department and look through the DS stuff and find what we are looking for, so I decide to ask the kid in electronics my stupid question of the day… “So do you have any Wii’s or PS3’s?”. Typically this question gets back a smile or laugh or even a go fuck yourself look but not on this day, the kid looked at me and said “I have a few PS3’s but no Wii’s.” I have to say the look on our faces was like that of a kid being told he could watch free porn, we quickly walked over to the table he instructed us to and my cousin grabbed his 60 Gb version, while I waited for them to bring out a couple more. They brought out a hand truck loaded with 60 Gb PS3’s, I thought I was hallucinating, but no they were all real. I stood there with a PS3 in one hand and Resistance Fall of Man in the other and thought to myself should I do this??? Being an avid gamer this was the hardest decision of my life, getting a system that so many craze and desire or being realistic when I figured that the system ($600), the controller ($50) and a game ($60) would be a hefty price tag to swallow after getting a new DS to go with my PSP and 360. Too many games, not enough cash and too little time made me decide against it, I know I must be crazy for giving it up but I think I can wait. I did also realize something else and that is this whole myth about the new systems being unavailable until March is bullshit! That Best Buy had a stack of them in broad daylight months before the predicted March deadline, I think you will see many more systems creeping up within the next few weeks as the hype and deflated demand are no longer necessary before the holidays.

    I just got word of more sightings of “on the shelf” PS3’s at two different Targets, 1 in NY and the other in MA. The drought is over it seems, the flood gates of PS3 are now open. Let’s wait for the Wii now.

    Funny thing, I just called 2 best BUys and they have pre-recordings set saying that they have no stock of either Wii’s or PS3’s. Most workers ahve also been pre-programmed to spew the same garbage, it’s pretty funny, they don’t even think just out of reflex tell you to fuck yourself.
