Launch Day or Dan has officially grown up.
This is the first time since 1999, I’ve come up empty on launch day. I thought I’d be pretty depressed about it, and yes I did try the shitty K-mart near my home at 9 AM , and all 3 (!) of their systems were long gone, and the Sam Goody near my house got a whopping zero (Best Buy owns Sam Goody but they didn’t send them any and instead kept it for BB, the official distribution store or some shit).
However, I’m not that depressed. I’m actually rich. Well not really, I’m just not $700+ in debt. I’ve been reading Bill (Harris not Abner)’s Xbox 360 game-by-game blog and I was a bit envious. PGR 3 was probably the title I wanted the most and he made me feel bad. Then I kept telling myself, $700 for a racing game….ugh.
So I know I’ll get a 360 when everything dies down and I dont’ have to be bundled or PRP’d (Product Replacement Plan) to death and if I don’t it’s not the end of the world. I guess I have officially matured into adulthood this time.
Then again, if there was an *OMG YOU”VE GOT TO GET THIS GAME* type of buzz, you know I would have already pre-ordered. Bill also wrote about NBA2K6. If I liked basketball, I would probably have been all over this.
Hey speaking of PS3, notice how no one is taking preorders yet? Yeah, Spring 2006 my ass.
