That's basically what I just said. He didn't effectively articulate what he meant.

I know, I was backing you up.

and I was letting everyone know that the interviewer agreed with Kairon, but what I didn't tell you is that he supposedly went back and corrected the article to better convey what was meant to be said(I didn't go back to MTV to check).

*chuckle* Yeah, we all know that Sony's PR department never says anything stupid.

I just meant, COME ON! This is supposed to be your companies PR department? How do all these retards get these cushy jobs blowing crap all the damn time? Is it a requirement that you fail 6th grade English to get a PR job? The sheer level of moronic idiocy that ALL of these people display...

Why aren't they all fired yet?

I would have fired this dweeb as soon as I heard what was said.

Games are NOT supposed to be fun. They are supposed to be entertainment.

In my eyes the only difference between the two is an imprecision in the casual way of speaking. Happiness is the response of the body when your actions meet the programmed criteria for "good action". If you do something and would like to do it again, it's fun. If you watch a horror movie and want to watch another one obviously horror is fun to you. Anything you like is fun because that's the way the feedback system works. A game that isn't fun is a game you don't like because something about it makes the negative feedback you get from it outweight the positive and makes playing the game an undesirable action from your point of view.

Yes, a game must be fun.

KDR, you've just defined "fun" as anything you like enough to willingly do multiple times over...

... is sleeping fun?

Actually, I think sleeping is really fun! But it's also a basic need, and it will happen by reflex if you ignore it too long.

Semantics! Harrison obviously meant themes and plots needn't be "fun" as in lighthearted or whatever, but his Freudian slip is still the most FUN thing I've read on the Internet today.

The real reason Sony doesn't have enough units

NinGurl69 *huggles · « **Reply #1169 on:** December 22, 2006, 06:50:42 AM »

That's further proof that IGN steals OUR ideas and is a horrible site overall.

Ceric · « **Reply #1170 on:** December 22, 2006, 09:27:56 AM »

Yeah... But I still like IGN Toons for the most part. JKR should work for us. In fact I think thats the only reason I check the IGN Wii channel now.

PS3 scalpers returning un(re)sold PS3's back to the store

Quote
Eager entrepreneurs trying to make a fast buck on hot demand for the new Sony PlayStation 3 this holiday season have found themselves out of luck.

The initial supply of PlayStation 3 game consoles fell well short of demand and spawned a market of scalpers who picked up the systems.

But a last-minute surge in supply to electronics retailers has left many holding a PS3 with nowhere to unload them.

Trevor, who didn't want his last name used, lined up for 18 hours to pick up PS3 the day it was released, and has been hanging onto the system since Nov. 17. The 23-year-old was waiting to sell it in the hope of making some extra cash.

"I figured, hold it to Christmas and everyone will be rushing to get one for their kids."

Dwayne Paul, 27, also hoped to make some extra money during the holidays by unloading a PS3.

So far, there have been no takers.

"It's easy to get now," he said. "It's not a hot commodity."

Both said they plan to return the systems to the store.

Of course, there are other in demand holiday toys.

Rob Alexander, business sales manager at Best Buy, said the store is out of Nintendo Wii, another popular gaming system.

Is this an isolated incedent? I'm not so sure...
A friend of mine just got a PS3 from Costco yesterday and called me seconds b4 purcahsing it to see if it was worth re-selling it on ebay. I told him it could be worth the trouble, but I wouldn't bother at this point.
He bought it anyway. I'm not sure if he's gonna sell it or not though.

UncleBob · « **Reply #1172 on:** December 23, 2006, 03:17:00 PM »

We get PS3's in every so often... they usually sit around until the next day or so.

We get Wii's (less often) and they're gone within in an hour. No joke.

One look at eBay tells me it won't be worth the trouble... hell, a lot of people are losing money when you factor in eBay's cut of the sales too. Take this one that just ended, for example, and only was bid to $10 over retail:

Auction

Supply on eBay is way beyond demand for the system.
