PS3s are already being used on American airports as airplane chocks, but the giant overpriced and overrated company has launched it's bloated flagship gaming product in Australia and Europe. The reaction Down Under was a collective yawn. Some stores were completely empty of customers at launch. How embarrassing is that?
European distributors, desperate to avoide complete humiliation, had to give away 46 inch TVs and free cab rides home to draw customers to the PS3. Unfortunately, customers were told they had to purchase a PS3 to get the TV.
The great sucking sound you hear are Sony Corp profits going down the ****hole along with Blu-Ray. With Blu-Ray success resting largely on the shoulders of a presumed installed base of Blu-Ray customers via the PS3, Sony has once again put forward a loser technology. Anybody remember Betamax vs. VHS? We know who won, and it wasn't Sony.
I'm having fun with all this cause I've never been a Sony fan. Their entire product line is over-rated and over-priced. They flat out got their asses kicked by Nintendo's Wii. I still can't find a Wii in an electronics store. I visited Gamestop yesterday and inquired and was told any Wiis that come in are gone within 2 hours. This is three months after Christmas!! Meanwhile, a huge stack of PS3s that had been around since before Christmas was gathering dust in the corner.
PS3 anybody?
