My little bro is picking up a Wii...I'd like to get a PS3...but at this point in time it's not worth it for me...I'll wait until the price drops significantly...or until FFXIII is released :)

It is starting to look like both systems will be a success. Hate the PS3 as much as you want, it will still sell out on the first shipment. And the second...
Granted the Wii has a great launch lineup, but we'll see how it will go when more popular titles start comming out for the PS3.
I have no grudge against the console systems per se, but why spend another grand on games when you can have everything you possibly want (internet, gaming, school/work stufsf, video editing, all that jazz)on a kick ass computer system like mine for under $2500 that lasts you several years with upgrades?
What I am so angry about is that there are bidding wars between PC developers and the consoles for hot titles like Call of Duty. That ing franchise was born on the PC, now they stop making them and opt for the systems because they shelled out more money. IT's just a way for corporations to try to make us spend more of our ing money to get the things we want. I'm going to resist it as much as I can, but being able to play as Canadian soldier in WW2 in COD3 is mighty appealing...:mad:

IF anyoneof you gets one (or 2 or more) DO NOT KEEP IT!
Why? Do you know how much money some moron in North/South America will pay for it 2 weeks before Christmas? You can buy yourself another one plus an HD TV from the profit you will make. That is what I would do if I got my hands one one. Like th Japanese dude that has 100 of them right now and selling them. What an investment.

Sony and Nintendo are going to have a hard time...they are entering unchartered territory for them and there are going to be a lot of bugs they are going to have to work out....I'll stick with the 360

rumour has it that if you get your PS3 and it turns out to be defective for some reason, there wont be any replacement units in stock until some time around Christmas or the new year...AND...some stores are only getting 3-5 PS3 units...
i cant wait to see all the hardcore gamers lined up out front of Future Shop throughout the night during my shift lol

i'm with you there, but where are all the great games lately? I haven't bought since Rome TOtal War Gold Edition (which now wants to crash every time) so I'm still playing out Call of Duty 2. Where the is COD3 on PC? It's so frustrating.
I have to say though; nothing beats the mouse/keyboard set up for FPS and RTS.

EBay limits PlayStation 3 sales
SAN JOSE, California (AP) -- People pining for the sleek PlayStation 3 gaming console might find shortages on eBay as well.
The unfettered online marketplace for such items as Elvis memorabilia and Ferraris is imposing restrictions on the PS3, which is expected to become one of the hottest holiday gifts when it hits stores Friday.
Only established eBay Inc. vendors -- those who have racked up comments from at least 50 previous customers and have positive ratings of at least 98 out of 100 points -- can list PS3s before Friday. Each vendor can only list only one PS3 per eBay account.
The listing must include a photo of the pre-order receipt, and the seller must guarantee shipment within 30 days from the date of purchase. Before Friday, PS3s can be listed on eBay only in auction formats -- not as "buy it now" items.
Potential buyers, trying to avoid long lines, rain checks and empty-handed sales clerks on Friday, have already bid up PS3s to $2,300. The suggested retail price is $500 for a basic PS3 with a 20-gigabyte drive and $600 for a version with 60 gigabytes, built-in wireless and a Blu-ray DVD player for high-definition video.
Sony Corp., which has already delayed the PS3 launch twice, expects to have 400,000 PS3s available for its U.S. launch. EBay listed 3,144 PS3s or related items by Wednesday morning.
The restrictions, part of eBay's standing policy for all "pre-sale" items, also apply to Nintendo Co.'s competing Wii console, which goes on sale Sunday. EBay had 2,354 listings for Wiis and related items.
Microsoft Corp. launched its Xbox 360 console last year.
"We've seen a history with highly anticipated game consoles in extremely short supply during their initial launch," eBay spokeswoman Catherine England said. "With the Xbox, we saw a high number of well-intentioned sellers unable to meet obligations due to restricted supply."
