US PS3 Launch Limited to Top 5 Stores?

Apparently, trying to get the PS3 from a smaller retail chain isn't an option. You'll have to line up and hope you get one of the 400k units that millions of eBayers will be wanting.

Smaller companies that deal in electronics are being alotted a very limted amount of PS3's that will not make to all stores. I reserved a PS3 about 8 months ago yet I will not recive one at launch because that I reserved through only recived 100 PS3's that had to be distriputed to rough 1200 locations "you do the math". So needless to say I am a bit peived about the whole situation and at this point this new generations of consoles just seem to be a huge batch of problems and disapointments.

I was able to get a 360 at launch but the games are very limted, PS3's launch is abismal and the Wii is entertaining but not what I wanted in a next-gen console. I am truly displeased with all three companies.

but i still don't get why everyone expects a slew of great titles right off the bat for these systems. it's new, advanced hardware. they have barely maxed out the potential of the xbox and ps2, yet people expect perfection on early 360 and ps3 titles.

"i still don't get why everyone expects a slew of great titles right off the bat for these systems"

Ummmm.... here's why:

360-
Call of Duty 2
Project Gotham 3
Need for Speed: MW
Perfect Dark Zero (er, everyone expected a great game there)
Quake 4 (again, at least an anticipated hit)
Geometry Wars and Friends on Arcade
DOA4 hit soon after launch

Wii-
Zelda
Excite Truck
Metroid
Dragon Quest
Metal Slug
Plus the online downloadables

I think THAT's why people set high bars for system launches.

if you consider those GREAT, that's your opinion. there were some very good titles such as cod2. i've yet to play a wii game, so i can't comment on those. either way you slice it, it's still only a handful of games. most people speak as if every single release should be top notch as if that's how it used to be. you're always going to have sub-par games, especially early in a systems' life.

My local Shopko is getting 2 units

So which statement was not a lie? They contradict themselves way to much!

Pretty much all of these games listed are based around a morality system you don't have to be bad and you don't have to be good.

It seems to have left out some real amazing games like red dead redemption 1/2,ass effect and true crime la/ny

Armored Core VI?

Ok, I'm really missing something here. Just beat chapter 3 earlier this evening, unlocked A-rank Arena fights. I'm not seeing or sensing any branching paths or morality system and I've done every side mission and arena fight available to me up to that fight.

Is something big coming soon to branch the story?

No mention of Grand Theft Auto? Saints Row (original trilogy), Manhunt? Also The Suffering (depending on the ending you get).

I never got around to mass effect - I’m skeptical that it would hold up if I were to try it now

Furesis19h ago

I would say it does. The combat is a bit shit for todays standards but everything else is great.

It's worth a play through today.

Still have my ps3 copies. Bought it at launch and another one when I found it cheap and in perfect condition about 10 years ago. I wouldn’t buy it on Switch but if they made a PS5 version I would. I still have one of my PS3 Fats hooked up so good to go either way.

Id play it again on the switch. I wished my 360 version was bc but this is still a good way to play.
