I thought about doing the same while throwing tomatos at them... but then I thought, they are the smart ones. At least if they sell them as soon as they buy them. If they actually keep and play them, then they are nerds.

Now, if you'll excuse me, I had a long day as a computer programmer and I need to go play some Dungeons & Dragons.


Or at least a few dozen rounds of Mine Sweeper! Mad Skilllllz

JonnydaJibba 2006-11-17 08:36 AM

Dude they have sold for 15k already! Can't link you tho cuz my work hates ebayz.

Sometimes I really despise people.

sperry 2006-11-17 10:29 AM

I'll buy one in 3 months at the normal price. And I'll get an XB360 when the price drops, assuming there are some decent racing games out for it by then. And I'll probably get a Wii once they're easily available 'cause my GF wants one.

But there's no way in hell I'd stand on line for more than about 10 minutes at the normal checkout counter for any one of those things.

JonnydaJibba 2006-11-17 10:47 AM

Forza 2 for the 36... but I dunno if you liked the first one.

I played Forza for like 15 minutes and decided that I liked GT4 better. I haven't played it since. Which sucks 'cause I dropped $100 on that Forza wheel, which also was nearly as good as the Logitech one for the PS2.

I like GT4 better for most things, but not others. The only real advantages I saw in Forza over GT were, non-retarded AI (not that it was great but at least the AI cars aren't on rails), online play and visual customization. The last point not even being that important.

I really hope PD can clean up GT5 and capitalize on the things they fucked up on with GT4.

Yes, the chance to potentially buy a PS3 and sell on ebay for $2k gives you a $1k profit.

Either that, or you are out $450.

tysonK 2006-11-17 01:45 PM

Will anyone in this club have a PS3 this weekend?

Kevin M 2006-11-17 02:52 PM

Yes.


I mean no. But I'm totally gonna try to score an Xbox 360 for $100 next week!

JonnydaJibba 2006-11-17 02:56 PM

Shhhh! Only 1000 are being sold!

100_Percent_Juice 2006-11-17 03:17 PM

My friend cody and his bro(both rex owners) got 9 ps3s between the 2 of them. I was just over at their house playing resistence and the motostorm demo. Freaking awesome, especially for launch games

tysonK 2006-11-17 05:29 PM

I'm not doing anything Sunday morning maybe I'll go to the Target in Sparks and try to get a Wii.

Nick Koan 2006-11-17 05:55 PM

My roommate pre-ordered a Wii from Amazon, but is going on a two week vacation in Russia tomorrow :lol:

Its going to show up, and I'm going to have a Wii for two weeks. :devil:

Libila 2006-11-18 03:19 PM

The AAFES over here can't get enough PS3s to actually sell so they're going auction them off weekly until they can get them on a regular basis.

I doubt that will happen anytime soon seeing that they couldn't keep XBOX 360s in stock when I got here six months ago...

Bob Danger 2006-11-19 06:25 AM

My step-brother got a Wii today. I must say the graphics arn't quite next-gen, but it makes up for it, with a really innovated controls. You could attach weights to your arm and play a boxing game, and get a work out, although the game was having a hard time keeping up with my hand movements. Mainly because I float like a float bot, and sting like an automatic stinging machine. Twilight Princess, looks amazing. All I have to say is the graphics don't make the game. I will be looking a purchasing a Wii in a few months.

tysonK 2006-11-19 11:05 AM

cool.

Nick Koan 2006-11-20 09:50 PM

The Wii is awesome.

Excite Truck is pretty fun, and I liked WiiSports too. Now, do I crack open Zelda too? or not.

tysonK 2006-11-20 10:59 PM

omg Wii tennis is awesome.

tysonK 2006-11-21 07:02 AM

Yeah I tried boxing, I liked Tennis and Golf the best. We did'nt have 2 controllers so no 1 on 1 action.

Nick Koan 2006-11-21 09:51 AM

By the way, when does your next shipment of Wiis (Wiiii?) come in? I need to get me one of them.

M3n2c3 2006-11-21 10:02 AM

Not sure. . .

JonnydaJibba 2006-11-21 10:31 AM

The Wii is contageously fun. Wii played into the wii hours of the morning. My buddy even took off this whole wiik so he could play.

Ok I'll stop.

Nick Koan 2006-11-21 10:33 AM

Haha, Tyson will appreciate that.

He was making Wii jokes left and right yesterday.

tysonK 2006-11-24 01:46 PM

the wiikend is almost here.

Libila 2006-11-24 03:12 PM

I know it's by no means new but I just bought Battle Field 2 for PC and I friggn' love it. I've only played single player so far but I can only imagine how cool it is online.

JonnydaJibba 2007-01-16 10:49 PM

Scott! Have you played GT HD?! If so, how do you like it?

For those interested but do not know, GTHD was supposed to be a GT + Tourist Trophy with updated graphics for the PS3. Well the graphics are SERIOUSLY AMAZING, but the physics are redone as well. I like em. As Gran Turismo's biggest <insert word for... uh skeptic that likes the game but really wants the best for the series>, you think it's going in a good direction? I'm reserving judgement for whenever (if ever) GT 5 comes out.

Double Phister 2007-01-17 09:20 AM

I've been playing GT HD for a little bit. It looks nice. Still feels like GT. I've spent most of my time on the tuned version of the 599 in the reverse timed event. I think I'm down to a 1'12.3". That's with a little aid and was good for a 6th place overall at the time but now I think I'm been bumped out to 100+. I couldn't get below a 1'14.01" with all of the aids turned off.

M3n2c3 2007-01-17 09:21 AM

I'm still waiting for GT4 on PSP. . . so I can take my Spec C on the go. . . :(

sybir 2007-01-21 02:12 PM

Download the original SMB. I think that gets the most play of anything on my Wii. :lol:

Bob Danger 2007-01-22 04:45 PM

Wow Forza 2 looks like crap.

It must be because no self respecting game manufacturer would call that a finished product.

I think you missed my point... watch:

Forza 2 sucks!
http://www.seccs.org/images/misc/forza_cusco_crop.jpg

wait a minute... it's not that bad...
http://www.seccs.org/images/misc/for..._cusco_rx7.jpg

Plus, screen shots of racing games always look like ass... half the realism is from the quality of the video's motion.

Bob Danger 2007-01-22 06:53 PM

I got you.

Guitar Hero 2 comes out for the 360 box April 7th! Jerimiah tell me if I'm wrong... It will feature 10 more songs than the PS2 version, along with 70 downloadable songs via Xbox Marketplace. I hope they don't charge too much for them.

MattR 2007-02-02 12:18 PM

I just watched the bathurst race on speed this week! For realz!
