Wii & PS3 kiosks pics leaked...?

Funky Papa · (08-31-2006, 10:50 AM)

I like the wii one.

Amir0x · (08-31-2006, 10:50 AM)

See the PS3 kiosk has like 15,000 pamphlets 'cause it's so complicated, and the wii kiosk is all 'just play me, baby'

AniHawk · (08-31-2006, 10:51 AM)

The Wii one just screams "drop your kids off here please"

sprsk · (08-31-2006, 10:52 AM)

The ps2 kiosk is designed with those little pamphlet holders as well.

These don't LOOK fake, but yeah, standard looking if true.

Except, why wouldnt the wii kiosk be widescreen?

BrodiemanTTR · (08-31-2006, 10:52 AM)

The Wii one just screams, "Why am I in 4:3, where's the widescreen Zelda/Metroid goodness?! :("

So now the shadow of the PS3 logo is Spider-Man red...

Agent Icebeezy · (08-31-2006, 10:55 AM)

I was told that GS is hoping to have demo units of the PS3 in by october, so this just might have some validity to it.

wtf??

Amir0x · (08-31-2006, 10:59 AM)

Also, that little tiny screen above the main screen on the Wii kiosk... i guess that's gonna be running a reel of people using the wiimote, or is it just an attached static image?

-nk- · (08-31-2006, 10:59 AM)

is there a source for these pics? don't say imageshack now

MrPing1000 · (08-31-2006, 10:59 AM)

whats that screen/picture above the tv on the wii one?

gofreak · (08-31-2006, 10:59 AM)

Sony had retailer meetings last week re. launch preparations, so it's quite possible this leaked from there. Kotaku had a text description of the PS3 kiosk yesterday that seems to match up:

Quote:

One of the key aesthetic features was a aluminum rectangular piece that went from the top, then curved behind the screen and console, then curved back out at the bottom. On the bottom it featured the old PlayStation logo.

Coen · (08-31-2006, 11:00 AM)

More vents!
Does this mean I need to replace my hifi?

Bad_Boy · (08-31-2006, 11:00 AM)

I think somebody should take a video camera to wal-mart to tape all the adults who will look like fools swinging their arms away at the Wii Kiosk.

YOUTUBE IT!

Funky Papa · (08-31-2006, 11:00 AM)

GaimeGuy + Nintendo news = good times.

looks like one of those ads with a screen of the game and someone 'using' the wiimote...

Screenboy · (08-31-2006, 11:02 AM)

Wonder how long it'll take for ghettos to get the arse with the Wii remote and try and throw them on the floor etc.

PS3 display will need those vents cleared, as if the 360 is anything to go by, that things gonna get HOT!!

Oh, no, I have. In fact I just came from a playing session of Half Life 2 on my widescreen laptop.

Doesn't really make a difference to me whether or not a game is in widescreen, shortscreen, big screen, little screen. But hey, if having your games in widescreen makes the game more "cinematic" and better, then more power to you.

xaosslug · (08-31-2006, 11:09 AM)

the PS3 pamphlets are prob. filled with sign up cards for Playstation Underground. and shouldn't the Wii have like, a few pamphlets as well to, you know, school folks?

Wii don't need pamphlets
It'll have a little rolling video going showing people what to do.

It's all delivered directly to your brain by the virtual reality headset that plugs into your cortex (not pictured).

Packing tape will be the Xbot weapon of choice this holiday season.

Buggy Loop · (08-31-2006, 11:13 AM)

Are the PS3 kiosks made for 7 feet tall peoples? Kids will have neck injuries trying to play that thing..

Hyoushi · (08-31-2006, 11:13 AM)

hehe, the PS3 one... neckbrace here I come!

edit: Damn you Buggy, damn you to hell

Ninja Kn1ght · (08-31-2006, 11:14 AM)

The angle of the screen on the PS3 Kiosk looks like it'd be kinda awkward to use. The Wii one looks really streamlined and nice though.

Would you wear these in real-life?

KyanMehwulfe · (08-31-2006, 11:16 AM)

The PS3 kiosk looks hot. The Motorstorm graphic behind the console taints its sleek vibe though. The television screen seems pretty high up too.

frAntic_Frog · (08-31-2006, 11:18 AM)

those look like photoshopped mock ups to me........and the TV on the PS3 kiosk is too high above the system IMO.....expect lotsa strained necks

Is that a good idea? People are gonna look at it and realize that they're gonna look retarded playing the Wii in a public area and just not give the kiosk a shot at all.

well, they gotta let people decide i suppose. it's gonna be a spectacle either way, so, it's not something to avoid

Wait, now that I've taken a second look, they're not in widescreen, so nope.

KingJ2002 · (08-31-2006, 11:23 AM)

i like the wii kiosk... the ps3 kiosk seems like a neckbreaker if you're short

I don't think the PS3 kiosk is actually that tall, it's bad perspective on the image.
