the latest ps3 news:
The Nikkei Keizai Shimbun paper reports today that due to component shortages, Sony will only have 80,000 PS3 units ready for Japanese launch instead of the originally planned 100,000 units. That's a 20% cut. First the European launch gets delayed because of production issues, now the Japanese launch availability is crippled even more than it previously was.
No word yet if the shortage will effect North American units but, if proportional, they could be cut to 320,000 available systems. Keep in mind that's six thousand less than the Xbox 360 sold in its first nine days, and a far cry less than the 900,000 360 units they managed to move in North America by the end of '06.
IGN also reminds us that the PS2 sold out of almost a million units when launched back in March of 2000. Expect Star Wars like lines a week before the November 11 Japanese launch. Not the day before or day of, the week before. May the force be with you, Japanese padawans.

I got a better plan,
I'm ready to get this ps3, G, you with me?
theres always some old lady camping out with her 8 year old son. we dont even have to camp out, just come around the time the store opens and follow the lady and her kid to their car... then...
N*gga, you ain't got to explain sh*t
I've been robbin m*therf*ckers since the slave ships
with the same clip and the same four-five
Two point-blank, a motherf**ker's sure to die
That's my word, n*gga even try to bogart
have his mother singing "It's so hard..."
get her bruised up, from the pistol whippin,
webs on the neck from the necklace strippin
I wouldn't give f*ck if you're pregnant
Give me the baby rings and a #1 MOM pendant
*note this is best done with a intimidating looking black male partner, such as Bruce, who can not be detected in the dark period if he wear black. as long as he does not smile
