While I Was Getting My New PS3 Controller…

Funny story from this morning. I went out at 8am to beat the crowds the pick up a new controller for the PS3 (it now has RUMBLE). While I was there, people were at the cash desk panicking about this new shipment of Wii’s that had just arrived. I overheard the conversation and I guess people were supposed to get a coupon at the front door, before proceeding to the electronics department to get their Wii. There were three left, but the guy had missed getting his coupon. I looked over at him and just said, “I’m just getting the new PS3 controller.”

“Oh yeah,” he goes. “Stayed with the PS3?”, he added with some resignation.

Yes I did, and I’m quite happy. With all the hardware failures of the Xbox 360, the supply problems of the Wii, and the HD wars settling on Blu-ray, going with Sony may have been a good decision.
