So they're charging more for a used unit than yuo'd have to pay for a new one? :lol
Is Play-Asia not going to stock American games? I've got Paypal money I'd like to use to buy Untold Legends...
Huh? I thought it was confirmed 20 times over that the PS3 is region free?
It's probably more like "sold as used, but never actually used as they were stolen or sold back to a store for profit."

You could just WAIT. If nothing is appealing to you, why are you buying a system now?

I'm still really excited about the system, and resistence will be great. But as I said, I really wanted a second game to try out. I preordered it a month ago, lot more launch titles then too heh
BlueTsunami said:Its not a new HDTV standard
Its a resolution supported by newer CRT Monitors and some LCD Monitors.
interesting thanks.
what would the native resolution be for a 1440p lcd monitor? 1920x1440? actually that doesnt sound right since the aspect ration would be wider than 16:9.

I'm glad I'm waiting. I wouldn't want to put down $500 or $600 for a console that came from the very first batch made. :O I'm shocked my PS2 has lasted as long as it has... only now is the lens finally starting to die. I got lucky.
I'm pissed that I didn't act on seriously preordering a PS3 ahead of time, and selling for profit, though. Could've paid off a loooooooot of debt.

As in I didn't get one. My inlaws went to Yodabashi Chiba and there were 60 people there but only 6 units. Lottery tickets given out but they lost.
Hopefully they'll keep an eye out, but I'm up for any charitable J-Gaffer actions too
Yodobashi in Kinshichou had a BUNCH around lunchtime today. New units coming in every day rumour says.
You should have married a chinese. Chinese inlaws for the launch winmrklaw said:PS3 GIT!

If i was you I'd start divorce proceedings now to get ready for the PS4 launch.

Missed the launch yesterday, stopped by Yodobashi last night just in case and found three people had canceled their reservations...unfortunately, all were 20GB models.
Torn, I took the plunge and grabbed one.
Today, they got in a massive shipment of 60GB units that were just piled up behind the counter. Faced with trying to get my 20GB box through the wind and rain to Yodobashi for an exchange, I wimped out and am trying to convince myself I'll be happy with the 20GB model.
Good to see the supply might be somewhat consistent through the month though, with the Wii on the way Sony needs all the help it can get.

Doh! Well, you can add a USB card reader and an Ethernet wireless bridge and upgrade the 2.5" SATA hard drive to get almost all the functionality of the 60GB model. The only thing that's not certain to work with that setup is the Remote Play functionality, and since that requires the as-yet-unreleased 3.0 PSP firmware anyway, nobody can try it at the moment.
(edit: TIME PARADOX! whoever thought that displaying posts in chronological order was a good idea needs to go back to the drawing board :lol )

I'm going to lay this out simply for the junior members everywhere.
No 1440p this gen.
No 1440p next gen.
No standard for 1440p.
It is no more of a "standard" than computer monitor resolutions right now, with an installed base of 0.
The end. Thanks. Now back to tales of launch day sorrow and yen price gouging.

I remember rumors floating around last month that pre-orders did not guarantee you a unit if their shipment got slashed. By that I mean, say a store took 16 pre-orders but only gets 8 units in...the person who was #16 on the pre-order list can still get a unit before #5 if they get to the store before them.
Now this seemed to be all sorts of unfair so I blew it off. But I just called my EB to get some details on the PS3 launch....not only did they not know yet if they will be getting all 16 in he also told me that they weren't keeping track of the order that the pre-orders came in. (!)
Now I'm not too worried because I don't think Sony is going to cut any numbers at this point so they should get their 16 in. But you never know I guess. I won't feel 100% confident in getting one until I get a phone call sometime this week telling me when I can pick mine up.
Can anybody confirm/deny that this is EB/GS's policy on pre-orders? First come....first serve? I wasn't involved in the 360 pre-order debacle (I camped)...is that how it worked then too?
