Anecdotally, the PS3 was doing well at Best Buy last night. I saw three sold while we were in line. -- nm

I've been toying with the idea of lifting my boycott eventually (when I get a new TV) -- nm - Beryllium Sep 3, 10:52 15
- Why boycott? It's a fantastic console. -- nm - Shaun Sep 3, 10:53 14
  - When it first launched, they were attrociously egomaniacal, mostly thanks to Kenny K, and I was offended by that. -- nm - Beryllium Sep 3, 10:55 7
    - (also overpriced and insistent that users would be "willing to pay to gain access to such incredible technology") - Beryllium Sep 3, 10:56 5
      - At launch, the PS3 looked no fun at all? -- nm - con_carne Sep 3, 10:57 4
        
        Yes. -- nm - Beryllium Sep 3, 10:58 3
        
        (Specifically, it looked like an over-priced, over-powered, under-utilized, ego-driven pile of crap) -- nm - Beryllium Sep 3, 10:58 2
        
        and to put that in perspective, I didn't get an XBox 360 until two years after it was released. -- nm - Beryllium Sep 3, 11:00 1
        
        I traded in my xbox for a 360 when it was stil 399 for the basic one -- nm - eag Sep 3, 11:14
    - Get over it Sally :) -- nm - Shaun Sep 3, 10:56
  - I genuinely despise ours. I had to get two updates last week and it keeps trying to get us to shop in the store. -- nm - David Sep 3, 10:54 5
    - The updating can be annoying when you just want to play a game. - Stephen Sep 3, 10:58 1
      - Aye. When I threw in KZ2 a few months ago to play it, I needed like a 90mb update iirc. Booooo. -- nm - Shaun Sep 3, 11:11
    - Interesting. I haven't needed an update recently that I can recall. -- nm - Shaun Sep 3, 10:55 2
      - We had to get 2.6x one day then 3.0 almost immediately afterward. -- nm - David Sep 3, 10:56 1
        
        I should check my FM version. I'm not even sure what it's at. -- nm - Shaun Sep 3, 10:57
