Hoping for meltdowns galore :lol let the games begin!

What a surprise, a negative Zhuk post in a Sony thread.

Anyway, hoping for a massive GT5 presence, anything else is secondary.
 
lol so how long in this thread until the cock goblins and jaimie fox's dick.

None the less, these are the slowest last few minutes I've ever seen. Seems like it will never hit 12:30.

Moment of truth. We have retailers around the world dropping the PS3 price and taking Slim preorders. Now Sony must deliver the good word and officially announce the Slim. If they don't, it'll be hilarious.
