PlayStation 3 now playable
Hardly surprising since the Japanese launch of the Playstation 3 is only 6 days away (November 11). Here, there are three Playstation 3 displays (each hooked up to a Sony Bravia TV): one was looping game trailers, one was running a tennis game, and the last one running Ridge Racer 7. To be honest, both the tennis game and Ridge Racer didn’t look impressive in real-time. Ridge Racer actually looked a little jaggy… hmmmmmm…
Anyway, after thinking about it, I have decided that I will not buy a PS3 on launch day (if ever). Reasons being:
- I am not a hardcore gamer
- there are no killer launch games
- I don’t see the appeal of Blu-Ray just yet
- JP¥70,000 is too steep for me
- these are revision A units and I ain’t no guinea pig for Sony
- the thought of having to camp outside a reseller for a night or two with a few hundred geeks… doesn’t exactly turn me on. And to make this worse, the originally promised 100,000 units for launch (nationwide) has been dropped to 80,000 units.

Prereserved PS3 are selling for over $3000 on eBay! I think a $2000 profit is worth one night of lining up. But I haven’t decided whether I will line up or not.
