So what's the fuss about?

YUP, the Playstation 3 is finally available in Best Buy stores and some other stores here in US approximately 15 minutes ago, just after midnight of Friday(November 17, 2006). People from all across the state and some from other countries flocked and camped outside of these said stores since Tuesday(November 14, 2006) just to avail of the limited stocks of PS3.

Why? Several reasons were brought up by those people who religiously camped outside for almost 3-4days. One, because they want to be the first ones to have a set of PS3, like an early Christmas present. In short they are fanatic gamers. Second, since it's limited, they rush to avail it. Third, because it's new and different and has a Blu-Ray player that can let you watch movies without any noise coming from the console that competes with the soundtrack(as they compare it to Xbox 360 which is noisy) and lastly, it's time to change the PS2 because it has been 6years since the first PS2 came about.

In my own opinion...I can only blurt out a big "HUH?" to all of these. No offense, I do love playing my Playstation2 and I'd probably get a PS3 too but why fuss about this now??? Saying it's limited doesn't mean they won't produce more of this product eventually, right? Or people are just impatient to wait for it which I can see the point if they've been anticipating the availability of this product lets say 1-2 years ago. Maybe I'm just not as fanatic as some of the people are. Maybe this is their life, this is what makes them happy. I can only smile at those people lining up and camping outside Best Buy when I passed by one branch near my place this afternoon. Then the news came on TV awhile ago, and I saw the same long line on different other branches in other cities. I can't say it's crazy but there's no other adjective to describe this.

It just goes to show that patience is a virtue but if you've been waiting for so long...it will make you do the most craziest thing possible to finally get what you've been waiting for. I don't know if this scenario also relates to reality; to life itself. Funny and indeed scary, don't you think?
