From the start i was playing only videogames consoles (ZX Spectrum was a half computer). I can't play on PC at all, except Heroes Of Might & Magic. Even Japanese don't admit PC as game platform! And almost all my favorite genres games released only on consoles.

I have another message board that I just read sometimes (ign.com), its a video game website. Some dude just posted that Futureshop.ca was selling them!

Originally posted by activate not the case. you can grab them in asia no prob. I think they even came out a while ago there. someone posted on another board i frequent that their mother got them one a couple of months ago. problem was the first shipment to north america was smaller then expected.

First shipment of NA was suppose to be 400,000 units (which even that wouldn't have reached demand.)

It ended up being less than 200,000 overall. Same with Japan. They got cut as well. I don't think if you walked into a store in Asia you could get one. They are honestly sold out. It's hit or miss on getting one. You might be lucky to find one in the store, but the term is you have to be lucky or avidly seeking one.

It's actually not 'hacked,' those pics are from one of the lead programmers on Resistance: Fall of Man. Just before the game went gold.

I did read something about the System being cracked or almost being cracked.

Maybe it was through Yellow Dog or something..don't remember...or maybe that was the Wii. Too much video game info these past 2 weeks.

I said later you might get lucky to buy one in store. Since stores don't really know when there next shipment is exactly coming, they just put what they geto n their shelves. If they have some systems when you go in, your lucky.

I know for a fact that its Sold out in the US. If it wasn't then people wouldn't make a dime anywhere.

Seriously all people that camped out made about 10 bucks an hour doing that. If you want a PS3 on Ebay u can get a 20gb for about 600- 700 bucks with overnight shipping for free. In all honesty what do you need 60gb of space for on a game console ? And the price won't be going back up really. Why because I did the same with XBOX 360's last year, so much hype too, but I only had to wait 10 hours in line to get some ( i got six and made about 350 dollars profit on each, so yeah that was totally worth it). But to camp out for 36 to 48 hours to get one or two to make about 400 bucks off it ? I think I'll pass. The key time to sell the PS3 was like in the first hour of release, when peole were dropping like 4gs on them, I wonder how dumb they feel now when they see the same ones going for like 1000 dollars what a week and half later ?

The thing is everyone bought the PS3 to make money off it. Only a few people actually got it for what it is. So now the market is flooded. And trust me before you know it they will be everywhere, I read somewhere that Sony plans on having close to a million units avaiable by Xmas.
