He would then have to ship them back to Sony at a cost and then wait a couple of weeks just to see how Sony will reimburse him. And this is a type of store that depends on profits of games, used games and the other merchandise he offers (toys, WWE shirts,action figures, Naruto shirts, Naruto action figures,new and used DVDs,holding videogame, Yu-gi-oh tournaments, Magic the Gathering tournaments) just to stay alive in business.

I always wanted to run a Science FIction and Fantasy club shop. But there hard to keep profitable.

You really have to be in an area that

1)Had demand for that type of store.
2)Desires a shop that will get involved with tournaments and such...and then you advertise the fact that you have them.
3)Get Lucky in finding loyal patrons and keep them.

I would love to open up a Restaurant but the idea I have would cost too much money, but I believe it would be one of the most unique and fun places to eat for our generation.

I want to hear more about Spak-Spang's restaurant idea.

Heh, I've also got a restauruaruaumnt idea that I think's pretty awesome, although not in the "fun" or "interesting" type of way.

MAYBE SOMEDAY WE SHALL COMPETE

I've always wanted to make a real-life version of the Restauraunt at the End of the Universe. Except it wouldn't actually be at the end of the universe. It would be all fake, you know? With special effects?

BACK ON TOPIC. You know what I just realized? These ps3 ads are really similiar to the ads Nintendo used for GameCube's launch. Edit: Although the Cube ones were more game focused, and I liked them more.

i dunno about u guys but i personally liked the original GCN ads. I think the only thing i didn't like was the fact that there was one where a bunch of ppl didn't even take notice at the GCN and there was just this one guy that was captivated.

I saw a pretty cool PS3 display at Walmart.

It was curved with clean words on the top and left side. A PS3 shell in the middle then had screen shots that were the same size and lined up straight on the right side.
It was actually pretty nice looking til you saw the screen shots. Everything else on the display was super sharp. The screen shoots. Think about an old science text book. Now make it a little worse. Thats what it was.

I don't know why Sony doesn't get the picture. If you are pushing graphics show them off.
It would have been a good ad if it wasn't for those terrible resolution screen shots.

Wassup with them hindering there stengths?

On a side note this Walmart had no mention of the Wii.

I thought here be better then a new topic.

Also I want to have a restaurant with unlimited fries. You pay a per person charge and you pay for extra toppings.

If you're not utilizing all 7, then it seems to me that you're not using the full potential of the processor. Seems like you either need to come up with some funky way of utilizing them all efficiently, or you're wasting a lot of that fancy, expensive processor.

If your game really needs to keep the CPU at 100% load all the time that's your thing, most games will make sure there's some percentage of CPU time unused in an average situation so a peak situation is less likely to drop the framerate. Never mind that it's physically impossible to keep a CPU at 100% load in any real-life situation because of bottlenecks.

It was kind of like in Donnie Darko when he and Gretchen...

Um, who's Gretchen? In that movie, I mean. No such character listed in the IMDB cast list. I know who Gretchen is in Faust.

Sony's latest commercial

I kinda liked this one, but the wiimote could've done so much more with those eggs

I guess it accurately predicted the Cube sales performance.

Can someone explain "///7" ? The best I could come up with is 11/17, the release date.

I saw the rubix cube commercial, I then saw the flash for "smarter" at http://www.playb3yond.com/
..talk about quotes that stretch the truth.

Spak-Spang · « **Reply #813 on:** November 09, 2006, 03:20:58 AM »

The Egg commercial is stupid.

Why is Sony foolishly showing these cryptic moody commercials. Do something smart...SHOW THE GAMES. Supposedly this system is going to have the best graphics and gaming experience...well show it. I don't care about cool looking commercials...I want actual game play examples.

nitsu niflheim · « **Reply #814 on:** November 09, 2006, 03:32:35 AM »

maybe there aren't any games! PS3 is a hoax!!!

Ceric · « **Reply #815 on:** November 09, 2006, 03:57:42 AM »

All of the PS3 Components have telekinetic powers and are going to take over the world by shear force. No need for normals.

Ironically enough that was better then the rest on the non-educational ones. Sad thing is that it is still spooky. Little Kids are going to have nightmares about PS3 at this rate. A demographic that it seems Sony doesn't want. Microsoft would sorta love and Nintendo is branded with.

No idea who that is or what those shows are.

Third to buy one gets a visit by Harman Smith?

Can't get the PS3 to render a commercial without overheating I guess.

couchmonkey · « **Reply #817 on:** November 09, 2006, 05:38:22 AM »

The eggs commercial...it is better than the other two, but if you didn't know that sixaxis has tilt sensors, would it really make any sense to you? Nintendo has the right idea here: show people controlling the game with motions - 1:1. Sony's still trying to be cool...and I guess the commercials are pretty cool, but they don't say anything.

those are movies and jena malone is a very pretty actress. an ex girlfriend of mine looks alot like her actually

I'm warming up to the commercials a bit. Once you get used to their insane logic they're pretty fun. It's hard to say if they should be focusing on games more at this point. I think both the ps2 and the 360 started off by just advertising the console itself.

That's it.

I'm not so sure about how "Hard Hitting" this is to Sony but it is 2 less launch games for PS3:

NBA LIVE '07 canceled till '08

&

Sonic delayed till before end of 2007

couchmonkey · « **Reply #821 on:** November 09, 2006, 09:44:17 AM »

Those might have not been such a big deal if it wasn't also for these:

FEAR and Oblivion now in 2007

Ceric · « **Reply #822 on:** November 09, 2006, 10:56:45 AM »

NBA LIVE '07
I thought that was the only game they ever show anyone playing. How could it be moved. To '08 no less... "Buy NBA Live 2007 for PS3. Feel the Vintage."
Sonic isn't to bad it's just waiting till December. The story didn't mention of the 360 version was the same or not.

So this means the the real launch is the Europe launch?

Sure looks like it. The bad news just never stops for Sony... I guess next week it'll be FFXII is no longer a PS3 exclusive? I honestly wouldn't be surprised with the way things have been going for Sony.

WuTangTurtle · « **Reply #824 on:** November 09, 2006, 03:22:55 PM »

They are smart not to release NBA Live 07 for PS3. People would make fun of it for not being able to calculate a realistic jump distance, something that has been done since the NES. Here's what i mean, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iBGEJUww9ck

Seriously i think EA has about 20 or so bugs they need to work out of NBA Live, all of which have been present for years. Some include Magnetic Rebounding, Non Fouls for Shoving a player to the ground, Shots counting even after 1-5 secs after clock runs out, CPU AI running straight out of bounds for no reason, Players freezing up, the list goes on....

Oh and FEAR and Oblivion must've hurt.
