Consoles are practically useless to me.

They had a 360 running in EA Games today. The graphics looked ok, but still a bit shaky and the controls sucked for Medal of Honor 2.

Maybe in a couple of years, when my son turns 6, I'll pick one up for a $150.00...

Until then, it's PC all the way.

Actually. I preordered it back in June at Game Crazy. They are only getting 6 of them, and I was #3. I had every intention of keeping it until this shortage talk started. Then debated whether or not to ebay it. Now Im glad I did. I can wait for the next shipment, its those xbox freaks that cant. :D

I saw a couple of guys camping outside of a Best Buy in a tent on SATURDAY evening. If they wanted it that badly, why didn't they just preorder it?

It's okay to be a nerd, but a dumbass nerd? That's just sad.

I will be saving up for several Playstation 3's

I am thinking 3 or 4, depending on price, job and school.

Swung by Sears this morning about 15 minutes before they opened because I saw only 1 person waiting. The guy had told me they would have 6, so I decided to get in line. Then the electronics manager comes out and says they didnt' get any yet...they use a different shipping and they have no idea what time they will come in. I cannot fucking believe people are dropping 2 grand on ebay.

But I think I will still say - fuck you micro$oft.

And I was asking around, it sounds like the second shipments are all pre-ordered as well.
