I played NBA 07 and some racing game that kind of sucked. It was alright. The console itself looked cool. The graphics for the games that I played weren't any better than the 360.

How the hell did you play it? Did you fly to Japan?

Yep, they had a Kiosk up. Some stores get it, some don't. I was pretty suprised when I saw it. At first I thought it was a PS2 because I just saw the controllers which are identical to the PS2.

I went to Best Buy and saw one today too. I was pissed as hell though because it was off and the dumb Best Buy employee wouldn't turn it on. Also, when I asked the manager what's a good time to come and get in line for the ps3, he was like "Well, we open at 8am on friday and we're open all day on Thursday." He was being retarded and not answering my question.

He sounds like a major d-bag. The employees at my Best Buy were helpful. The PS3 kept pausing without me doing anything. This was because the had plastic over the middle of the controller. It was causing the start button to be pressed down. So I asked them if they could fix it, and they helped right away. I was kind of mad about the games that were playable though. On other forums, I read that when they played a PS3 kiosk, they got to play Resistance Fall of Man.

1 question, is it better than the Microsoft XBOX 360?

Will you stop asking that!?! Jesus holy ****. He only played demo's at a kiosk, the damn thing hasnt even been released yet in the USA. The 360's been out a year now, when the PS3 has been out that long then that question can be properly answered. Developers cant utilise its full power yet.

Yeah, there is no way that anyone could tell if it is better just by demos. The NBA graphics were pretty good. I would like to see the graphics on a standard tv and compare them that way.

Graphics will be about the same, even with 1080P discs. You can barley tell the difference between 720p and 1080p.

When I played the ps3 at target, I couldnt notice any real difference in graphics between the 360 and ps3, I played both, and was like damn, who would pay 599 for this?

The 360 has had a year to get the most out of the system. Launch games always have worse graphics than games a year in. Why don't ya do your research.

And you think he would know this answer how? Ask a dumb question you get a dumb answer.

Well, I thought he would use his knowledge from past launches such as the 360 and try to give me an estimate of how many days people started lining up for that so I'd have an idea.

I was very unimpressed. That basketball 1080P game looked like crud. The faces were all waxy and smudged.

1st gen Xbox 360 games were way better. And the Sixaxis controller is weird. I tried it on that Motorstorm one, impossible to controll! Slow repsonce time..ect
