Top vid Laura - really enjoyed it.

Interesting to see the comments - PS3 is sounding lame, Sony looks like they are just milking the PS2 fan base :-(

I actually saw a line forming in front of the Redmond Fred Meyer on Saturday morning for the Wii launch. Funny thing was, it was mostly made up with what looked like kids (there were a couple there who had to be around 11 or maybe even younger). Most of them had their DS's in tow.

For the guy who didn't seem impressed with 360 titles, especially Gears of War, I would have asked him about what games out there did impress him enough to be interested in? If anything, that might have been good for a laugh or two. ;)

How many of those PS3 were for sale? Seems like nearly all of them. Pretty sad when the demand seems to stem more from "How much can I get from this?" versus "I can't wait to play this game!"

What happens if AMD stops making R420 based Xenos?

[\hijack] Since they (AMD) bought ATI they are obligated to continue making the part.

But if they see no profit in it**.. what if they decide to just call it a loss and stop?

** AMD will need mad profit to avoid being bought out themselves. Dropping Xenos may prove a wiser course of action if 360 sales continues being so low.

On the other hand MS+AMD could dump the old ATI R420 Xenos for an R600 part (with D3D10 support) making 360 tons better that PS3 almost overnight.

Send me a postcard with name and address and I'll send you a couple stickers.

A heart warming story, and video.

It's nice to see the warm and fuzzy side of MS.

Will there even be lines for Wii launch?

I mea stock isn't going to be an issue (not right away anyway), and the fans will mostly be civilized parents.. will they not?

That would be great

Totally awesome!  :D

Edit: Maybe we should do this for the Wii launch too.  ;)

LOL!! I drive by that exact Target every day and you were there last night with those poor...lucky, ba*tards? It is freak'in cold!! I guess I shouldn't say "poor", because they all (probably) have PS3s right now in their homes.

Anyway, that was an interesting video. I couldn't believe what that one dude said about the 360 and Gears of War...I'll just end that topic, right now...those guys are lucky they weren't shot in a drive-by or robbed.

Very nice of you and the 10 team to give away a 360 and pizza.

Well, I'm not getting a PS3 this year, but I am planning on getting a Wii and Twilight Princess, tomorrow night.

P.S.-  DigiPein is a great place (but, it is tough and surely, gets people ready for the real world of developing videogames and animation, etc).
