Link - Playstation Gamer given $7500 PC gaming rig and made to promise that he'll never ever ever play the PS3.

What would it take for you to give up your shot at a PS3? I don't just mean your shot at getting a system on launch day... I mean giving up your right to ever own Sony's newest system? For one gamer waiting outside the Sony Metreon in San Francisco, the price of loyalty was a $7,500 PC gaming rig.

In an effort to "prove that the PC is, and always shall be, the finest gaming platform available to man," PC Gamer and computer maker Falcon Northwest teamed up to lure away prospective PS3 purchasers with a top-of-the-line PC complete with 30" LCD monitor and Nvidia 8800 GTX graphics card. The catch? To get the system, you have to sign a notarized, legally-binding contract certifying that you will never, ever, buy a PS3.

Judging by the photo gallery of the night's events, PC Gamer editor Greg Vederman had no trouble finding willing participants for the offer, but a gamer identified only as "Neal" was the randomly-chosen winner. Vederman said he will be checking in on Neal "several times a year to make sure he keeps his end of the deal," an arrangement we're sure will lead to frantic "quick, hide the PS3" escapades when the PC Gamer van approaches.

They think that giving someone a $7500 PC gaming system will convince people consoles are overrated? That makes the PS3 look cheap! 😀

I made him an offer. I think he's basically running a silent auction there... nobody is going to buy it for that, but people will make him an offer based on what others are going for.

I offered him under $50. Keeping my fingers crossed.

Seriously, I came in to see a pic of someone that had it set up, or playing it, and maybe get a quick review of how the games are.

This is retarded. Why don't people just wait until the craze is over? What is up with people's priorities? It's a freaking video game console :laugh:

Stabbings? Shootings? This is just wack.

I should have preordered one but didn't feel like it. I have no intention of ever owning a PS3, just selling it off on eBay, like 99% of the people here. 🙂 Long live XBox 360! 😉

So is there any footage of someone smashing a PS3 on the ground yet? 😛

that is actually what I have been looking forward to the most... I want to see the faces of the people in line when it happens 🙂
 
"A Best Buy in Boston, aware it had only 140 of the consoles, got smart about the big sale ? its employees gave out tickets to the first 140 people in line so everyone could go home until the store opened."

That has got to be the smartest thing that ever happened since the PS3 was announced!

Not only the smartest thing but it was done by Best Buy of all stores...
 
Well big props to the first AT member that posts a pic of this thing set up or whatever and can give it a meh/10 or whatever rating it deserves.

If it ain't worth the hype, everyone is just pwning themselves. Wasting time buying, wasting time selling, just flat out pure pwnage to the Nth degree.

Enquiring minds want to know 😛
