| Legend11 said: I am very skeptical of videos like this one where one person makes a claim that seems to go against everyone else's experience. It's like that guy that claimed he got a 120GB Xbox 360 slim and some websites running with it and using it to make everyone weary about buying one (a claim that was later proven to be bullshit). |
Multiple things here locally:
* It is sold out at Best Buy, Toys R Us (down to one copy), and also also Gamestop. They still have the older model.
* I was at Best Buy today, and someone was looking for it. They couldn't find it, and was thinking of getting the older model. I was chatting with the guy, to fill him in about the 360, and what is needed and so on. Someone in the middle of nowhere, yells out "The PS3 is better online! It is free". At that point the guy decides NOT to get the 360, and went to get a PS3. He just wanted an upgrade for the Wii. His son had friends who had the PS3, so it wasn't that bad at all. He grabbed the Uncharted 2 bundle pack, and also Sony's Baseball game, so he made two good choices there (I did drop a suggestion that he look into getting LBP 2 when it comes out). So, this begs the question why someone would all of a sudden jump into the middle of the conversation and say that. I mention this at a Gamestop in the same mall, and the guy comes in and says "it is me", as I was mention it. The dude the walks out of the store after that.
Ok folks, listen up. You need to know what the heck someone else wants before you can recommend them to something. Well, unless you are an inane fanboy. Then, it doesn't matter what people want, just your own perverse biases get manifest. What I cay here it means that people want what they want, and then will end up looking for a reason to pick something else.
* The EB I was at in the mall happened to end up selling I believe 12 over a 1 day period and had two returns to technical issues, of the disk tray not opening, or not reading the disk.
