Stories about riots in Canada over the PS3? Strange, I can't find any on a couple news sites. I'll keep looking.

I think I was the only person interested in getting one to play it.

Unfortunately, I have been unable to secure one. If I can't get it soon, I will just wait until they are readily available.

Only game I'm interested in at this point is Resistance. I've already got a 360 that can play all the third-party games just as well or better than the PS3. I can't justify $500-$600 on a console for one game at this point. I'll wait until more/better games are out and/or a price drop.

I viewed the auction just 10 minutes ago....come back now and it's been removed by Ebay.

That was certainly odd, though, the bidder had like a feedback rating of 65+. It's not like he just joined Ebay to scam the PS3 auctions.

fortunately people arent stupid. noone is going to pay that much. any auctions like that are obviously fake and ebay is doing themselves a favor by taking them down early.
 
PS3 having HDMI issues?

The PS3 troubles continue to roll in. First the (admittedly minor) backwards compatibility issues, then we find out the PS3 can't run 1080i, now a new issue has come to light: some folks are having a rough time getting HDMI to work right.

The guys over at The Man Room have unpacked their PS3 (sans-ceremony) and immediately plugged it up to their HDTV using HDMI cables. The result was less than optimal; they were greeted by flickering that required some resolution changes -- our guess is HDMI can't output 480p, though not a big deal since who wants to play on 480p anyway -- to get the dashboard working right. Just when they thought it stopped, popping in a Blu-ray movie resulted in the same thing, which they said would sometimes stop and sometimes continue (the guys never really gave a definitive answer on what they did to fix it).

The Man Room postulated that the PS3 has some HDMI handshaking issues and their apparent resolution is to keep rebooting until it works right. HDMI is supposed to be Sony's main firearm in its arsenal against the 360; some gamers are going to have to put in a lot of work on top of hard earned cash to get their PS3 running properly. We recommend just keeping at it and pray for a firmware update from Sony to keep it fixed.

Am I the only one disgusted by this?

I mean, I hate console gaming in general, but I envision somebody who really wanted to play it having to pay upwards of a grand over retail because people bought and resold them; it's kinda fscked up to me.
