Umm...did you look at the sales for the PS3?  Sony needs all of the help and sales they can get!!  This is good news in the least 'cause now the Wii will be sold in more locations which'll mean it will be even more accessable to us people that want it and don't have it yet.  Good news for all I guess.

I could only wonder the main reason why they aren't carrying/selling the LEAST popular console this generation so far. I wonder.

 PS3's days are numbered. Time to pack it up and throw it out the window.

Uh, RadioShack did this last gen with the PS2/XBox, then quietly stopped.

Nothing to see here, move along.

Don't underestimate a small retailer. They can survive in markets the big boys cannot. Sometimes it seems every small town with less then a thousand citizens at the very least has a Radioshack. They are the hardware store for electronics, and thus they often fill that niche in small communities. I know people that live in the suburbs or in the urban sprawl will not appreciate this. However even if your not a fan of Radioshack if your way out in the sticks your going to find yourself going through that door two or three times a year. To pick up that cable you need, that can of air, that new keyboard.

This actually has a greater effect then some of you might think. Radioshack is present in many markets that cannot even support a Wal-mart, and that would definitely not support a Best Buy or a EB games. They are not staying in business by magic. Some stores are obviously doing quite well for themselves. Just perhaps not where you live which is probably the real problem.

*cough*

ohhh

Radioshack doesn't support PS3's

PS3 IS DOOOOOOOOMED

really wii fanboys, go play on the wii

n we'll go play warhawk

Whether you like RS or not, they do a lot of advertising especially around the holidays. Being able to get free advertising always helps.

Hrmmmm, the PS3 is a dissapointing flop who forced its creator to resign in shame and has cost Sony dearly sending the whole company into a tailspin forcing them to pawn off investments (factories, plants, properties) to foot the bill while the newer 80gb version has not only abandoned Sony's dedication to 100% backwards compatibility but has nullified their half-hearted attempt at a price cut. Not to mention losing almost all of their exclusive third party support and, well, just third party support in general. Six-Axis is also another golden prospect and I'm sure Blu Ray won't be relegated to obscuirity by industry standardized dual format support or the emergence of Red-Ray at all.

Obviously the PS3 will be a slam dunk success even despite the fact its already beyond the point of ever turning a noteworthy profit in its alleged ten year life span and with must have games like Lair and Heavenly Sword, who can blame people for being optimistic. Even though Japan has basically said no to "Hardcore" gaming in every imagineable respect, I'm sure they'll still be the avenue for the PS3's success over the 360 and Wii, because you know the PSP has clearly shown us the strength of of the Sony brand name over Nintendo's in Japan.

Radioshack isn't a potential tip of the iceberg at all, it's obviously a non factor and should be ignored. Lock this thread please, I fear it may portray the PS3 in a negative light.  

Crapshack is still alive ?

have not seen one in a while, they alwasy sucked ass.
