The fellas over at Joystiq sibling blog PS3 Fanboy debunk the rumor that 80% of PlayStation 3 stock was sold out in yesterday's GameStop presale event. They've done the math, and if their pencils are sharp, only about 10% of North America's 400,000 PS3 allotment was sold yesterday.
Where are the rest of the units? Some significant portion of them are probably sitting in a GameStop warehouse awaiting bundling, mega-bundling, and super-ultimate-mega-platinum bundling.
Salman from Tech4Gamers writes "Mortal Kombat 9 revived the series from a low point after bringing it back to 2D combat. It marked a new high-point for the franchise due to its incredible roster, exciting cinematic story mode, and high-octane combat."
Shaolin Monks is a forgotten gem. I would love to see a new one, or a remake of the old.
That game was actually goated. It was the first time ever that I actually tried to get good at a fighting game. Unfortunately the online connection was so dogshit it made it hard to enjoy and eventually I gave up. Haven't really played much fighting games since.
Taking a trip back to Housemarque's forgotten platformer.
The Simpsons: Hit and Run, The Legend of Dragoon, and Chrono Trigger would benefit substantially from a modern remake.
The Xenosaga trilogy, the Wild Arms games, Xenogears, Parasite Eve, Dino Crisis, Suikoden. The Warriors game I know nothing about but it looks interesting. Anybody can do a list of games they want to see get modernized I would lose my shit if Namco brought the Xenosaga trilogy to modern consoles.
I would hope gamestop isn't going to charge $1000+ for PS3 bundles... they are like the scammers on ebay except with more buying power and distribution networks!
where do the poorer gamers fit into this plan? the students and teenagers?
scammers don't offer more things to go with it to make it worth 1000$. Thats why its called Bundles.
when did poor gamers fit anywhere in the PS3 plan they didn't thats why most of them have already planned on buying a nintendo Wii or others a 360 or already own a 360.
you hurry up and buy the non-bundle. Sony is the one allowing them to make the bundle yell at them.
Stores like Best Buy and Circuit City. I am sure that larger retailers will be receiving the bulk of PS3's.
Sony has spent a ton of money to promote the PS3 in larger retail chains.
And as of right now, none of the large retailers are doing pre-orders.
Gamestop just pwned all of you.
