Hello,
Not to mention the violence associated with just owning or wanting to
own the PS3. March/April time frame seems like a long time to wait for
a device released in November. Might as well buy one at Dayton.
Pre-Christmas shopping for hot items is insane madness. There may be
some hope in January to get one. My company has given me Boxing Day off
as a bonus. I am going to hang around and see if I can pick up a PS3
after the user has fallen into The Uncanny Valley. :)
What is the street price for a PS3? I read somewhere that there is $800
worth of hardware in the box. Does that make it a $1200 to $1600 toy?
Isn't USB getting too slow for input with this type of box? How am I
going to decode and display two HDTV signals at the same time?
