In Japan, crazy people were also waiting overnight in front of many shops in Akihabara, famous Otaku town in Tokyo. Unfortunately recently SONY corporation have some problems about keeping their products quality, however, PS-3 is still attractive and I was looking for the good articles to explain in users’ voice. I am grateful to Ezinearticles expert owners, I will translate it to Japanese and use in my weblog, of course, keeping the links alive.
Thanks.

P.S. Congratulation for Ezinarticles 7 years birthday!

Perhaps Sony will send the next 10 million to the Middle East and see if the people would prefer virtual violence.

My friends tried to get one at walmart – all they ended up with was 2 rain checks… which is better than nothing – but they stood in line in the rain for over 16 hours…

There were people outside of walmart 38 hours before they went on sale. I was shocked… and awed.

Hi Chris’
I may be be crazy but I’m not insane (in my opinion). However,to some people,this is their lives.
This is the Generation that we live with now.
My 6yr.old daughter wants one of these game consoles in the worst way because all of her friends
have them. I keep telling her NO WAY because of the more than obvious reasons! Don’t get me wrong. I’m sure there is “some” educational value to these game consoles but in my opinion nothing takes the place of the 3R’s,outdoors,board games,playing ball and the list goes on. Whether it be consciously or sub~consciously maybe for convenience or were just too darn busy nowadays but for whatever reason it has now become socialy acceptable to allow our children to spend hours & hours in front of the TV wearing their little thumbs to the bone while their Education and Social Skills suffer!

Chris,

Thanks for quick reply and suggestion.
It is unfortunate but I will use articles as it is in English according to the rules.

The console gaming experience remains a second-class citizen to the PC as long as the controller remains. There is no substitute for the mouse and keyboard to maximize the user enjoyment of their game. Console gaming is fine for sitting on the couch with friends and playing racing and sports games but why pay these exhorbitant prices for a graphical-driven system?
