WE HAVE A NEW WINNER!
The Doncaster branch of Argos. 102 PlayStation3s in stock. Congratulations to all at Sony Europe for doing such a brilliant job of keeping up with – and staying massively ahead of – “demand”.
Sony is now so far ahead of “demand” that it might as well close its PS3 factories for a few months and give all those poor Chinese workers a holiday.
Amazing resistance from the Doncaster forces. Surely no one will ever beat this incred…
Bristol takes the lead. Only send us a photo if it’s over 200 from now on.

I thought that they were £425… are Argos offering a 1p discount?

Would.
Wait a minute this isn’t idiottoys. Still would.

As much as awfully captured cameraphone pics of Argos stock reporter thingies was a good thing several posts ago, we want UK:R back. The irony is that garnering all this anti-Sony publicity makes people talk about it. Bad publicity is publicity nonetheless. If we close our eyes and put our fingers in our ears it might go away.

FUCK YOU CONVERCIDE, THIS IS THE MOMENT EVERY TRUE SEGA FAN HAS BEEN WAITING FOR AND SHOULD BE MILKED ACCORDINGLY

Quote “Bad publicity is publicity nonetheless. If we close our eyes and put our fingers in our ears it might go away.”
Know what proves that the “any publicity is good publicity” thing is stupid? Imagine if Wal-Mart came out tomorrow with a new mascot: Nude Hitler. Then they changed their slogan to “fuck all minorities, forever, until they die”.
That would sure get an ass load of publicity. I doubt that would increase sales.

Well, that’s not quite true. It’s a good day alright. However, the day I’m waiting for is the day they throw their hat back in the ring with a Neo-Geo like arcade system. Heck, they can just consolize the atomiswave board and support it for 12 years and I’d be happy.

I remember when UK:R used to be very funny.
The PS3 does look like a big pile of shite. Good point, well made!
Can we please go back to having something fun to read now please? Write something about Sega.
Being obsessed by Sega is fair enough but being so fixated on Sony isn’t cool, just dull.

Fuck me, I checked in after a week cos I thought you might have packed this in, but no.
IT’S NOT FUNNY ANY MORE. FUCKING STOP IT.
April 12th, 2007 on 10:14 am
I personally think it’s hilarious. Look at all those unsold PS3s! Look at Sony fail! Imagine all the money you could lose trying to flog them on eBay.

I don’t see why everyone doesn’t find this funny. I’m sure Sony found it good and funny when they killed Sega with lies. I’m sure they had a nice long laugh about it while snorting coke off of hookers. Thus, sorry if I continue to laugh at this stuff for at least another couple weeks (by which time my huge stiffy over Alien Syndrome Wii being just around the corner will make it impossible for me to sit at the computer desk anyway).

my local blockbuster (preston ringway branch) has started sell the little buggers for 399.99. still about 399.99 to much for one i say. but there getting closer! finally sony getting what it deserves!

Also, it looks like Samba de Amigo is going to be announced for the Wii in a few days.
IT’S THE SECOND COMING OF SEGA.
Beware Sony, THE DIVINE LORD SHALL STRIKE DOWN THE IMPURE.

How can one branch of Argos have over 100 PS3s in stock? They’re massive. Unless they’ve constructed a new warehouse to hold them (or, more likely, out of them) then I’ve no idea where they’re kept.

Sega killed themselves. The Saturn launched for 400 fucking quid and it was less powerful than the playstation, which sold for 300. At least the system specs of the more costly PS3 are better than the competition.
That said, all of this is still NOT FUNNY. moreover, pictures of how much stock stores have mean nothing when you don’t compare how much stock they have of other products (e.g., xbox360).
April 12th, 2007 on 5:58 pm
Why would you think the pS1 was more powerful than the Saturn? That’s not true at all. Not at all.
April 12th, 2007 on 8:03 pm
Yeah, Saturn vs. Playstation! Are we back to 1996 yet?
April 12th, 2007 on 8:14 pm
amazing.

I always came to this site for its pure unadulterated hatred of Sony. I hate Sony myself but I can’t muster such blind continual anger. I suppose you have to be a Sega fan to do so since Sony didn’t quite kill off Nintendo (indeed made it stronger, eventually). I say give it a few more weeks, many have waited 12 years for this day so let them have their joy. After a few more weeks we can all go back to regular life (Sega fetishism for UK:R apparently) while awaiting the chance to dance on Sony’s grave.

And still the people of Europe stand out against the oppressive Japanese and there new fangled DVD reading thingamajig.
Come one England and tell those Japs that HD_DVD is the way to go.

personally, my nipples are hard for all of the hatred Zorg can throw at Sony, fuck you if you want to cry about how we’re all not masterbating over Sonic and cream at the moment, that day will come though, now, we must savour our victories.

No it isn’t, the moment every true Sega fan has been waiting for is a new Sega console that is successful with a Sonic game that doesn’t suck balls.
