I might have to get a brand new PS3 if such a thing is still around.

Don’t know your location, but they’re readily available from various online retailers in the US. Of course, with the PS4 Slim bundle going for $250 now, paying ~$180 for a PS3 isn’t such a great deal unless the cheap game library is the primary appeal for you.

Just had a look at new PS3 prices on Amazon UK. Yikes.

I got a PS4 with a 2gig tampered with hard drive for less than £100 a few months back, not sure what maybe an issue with it, as all is doing well so far.

Yeah Yikes indeed.
My goal is to collect games cheaply but they certainly don’t make consoles to last anymore. I’ll try taking it back again tomorrow after work.

Alien Isolation works but The Last of Us doesn’t. Aliens Colonic Marines (blagh) works but Little Big Planet doesn’t. Bioshock 1 and 2 don’t work but Bioshock Infinite does.
Uncharted 1 and 2 work Uncharted 3 doesn’t???

Before you loose faith Bingo I suggest a re-formatting of the hard drive to get any sort of conflicts with a previous users info with the system, but it keeps the latest firmware upto date.

No shipping notification on my Switch yet, but Amazon says it’s arriving tomorrow by 8 PM. I plan to spend the weekend with my ass firmly planted on the couch.

That’s great, I hope BOTW is as fun and entertaining as other Zelda games.

My Wal-Mart is selling them at midnight. There’s been people in the store waiting all day pretty sure all our stock is spoken for already. I’m about to trade my least favorite guitar that I never play for a wiiu.

Same here man. The universe has been very gracious to me as a totally unrelated makes it so I don’t have to go to work today. That and me having at least a half oz. indicates that this should be a perfect weekend.

How long will I hold out not buying a Nintendo system I’ll play for a month then never touch again?

A couple months, maybe.

Did you marry me twice? 😄
Third PS3 in and the same old same old.
Now I know that 3 consoles in the world will not play GTA 5 either.
Alien Isolation is fun though.

Your REALLY doing something wrong now, as defective hardware is only at 3% according to Sony. I’m really toying with the idea of sending my PS3 with all the software I have just to see if the last of us will work for you now Bingo.

Delivery was delayed by a day. It’s not clear at this point if it was Amazon’s screw-up or Nintendo’s. Some reports are saying that Nintendo dropped the ball on getting systems to retailers in a timely fashion, leaving them to scramble to get them out the door in time for launch day. Many reports of people who preordered not getting their Switch today. Kind of bummed since I took the day off, but first-world problems for sure. At least I got a shipping notification for delivery tomorrow; some are getting bumped to Monday or Tuesday.

Do you have yours? Impressions so far?

That’s terrible man and I know what you mean as it was sold out damn near everywhere say for Walmart where I was able to pick up one of the last units.

I do and while I can’t render judgement on the console itself considering it’s lacking a web browser and Netflix but as for BOTW my impressions are that it is fantastic so far. The innovation, the freedom you get (once you get passed the initial prologue area), and the attention to detail that gives the game way more depth than other Zelda games. I’m loving every second of it so far.

Yeah the Wal-Mart I work at is rather large and we literally only got 4, which was hilariously low.

The Person in Question

Nintendo is doing this on purpose, to create a demand/hype. Just like they did for the Nintendo Classic. BOTW looks amazing, though, I may get it on the WiiU.

Yeah they released at midnight and wereliterally all gone by about 1210. What they did with the classic is maddening because there’s still a huge demand for them but you can only get them online and for about 3 times what they are at Wal-Mart on the rare occasions we have them. And trust me Wal-Mart wishes we had them just as bad as everyone else wishes we did but they just won’t send them to us despite the fact that they literally sell out in hours every time they do.
