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.

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.

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.

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

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

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

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...

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.

The Wii is awesome.

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