Shortages

I just read that aussies aren't shorted out on Wiis and that they are just grabbing them off the shelves and selling them on ebay. Also, I was so suprised that yesterday I went to an EB Games and asked when they'd be getting more in and he misunderstood me and said that they had quite a few just sitting in back, then I said "So you do have Wiis in the back?" and he thought I said PS3. I couldn't believe that the Wii was in more demand than the PS3 he said that no one wants to buy any. I'm very happy for Nintendo.

Wii's are much more in demand. That time where my sister was in line for the Wii. the 24th in line to be exact. Only one of them was there wanting to get a PS3.

I'm not surprised that there are places where you can just buy a PS3, considering Ebay is selling them at small losses, meaning that they can't sell them for the price they're listed at.

And the launch games aren't very good. I've played ridge racer on the PS3 booth, and geez the physics suck. It felt like it was on rails, and I couldn't crash. It looked like I was "snaking" like in MKDS. And I tried motostorm. That game looks great, but there are tons of slowdown...
