Remember the shitstorm when this was announced?
>599 US DOLLARS
>"And at Sony, we aren't interested in conventional thinking"
That was an understatement.
It was truly a time to be alive.and on 4chanthis is my 10th year on this shit holepls kill me
>extra $100 for a 40GB upgrade
>can buy a TB drive for $50

I was 20 and had a job so I didn't care.
>>333560628
i will give credit to sony on how well they managed to turn the ps3 around. i remember people thought sony was done for in gaming when this was first annouced
>>333561005
HDDs in general back in 2005-2006 were expensive as fuck for even something like a 50GB or a 100GB one
It's Ridge Racer!
RIIIIIIIIIDGE RACERRRR!
God bless my dad spending $600 on 13 year old me to watch Taladega Nights
>>333560584
Hard to believe that was a decade ago now.
XBone's announcement topped it.
>>333561943
XBone was worse, but it wasn't as memetastic as the PS3 reveal.
>There are people on /v/ whose first console was a PS3, 360 or Wii
>>333562024
The reveal of the Wii's name, however, was even memeier. And only compounded when people saw the remote/nunchuck.
>>333562268
I'm so happy they renamed it the Wii, that alone made me not buy one.
I was so hype before when it was still called the Revolution
i remember buying two ps3s at launch and sold one for $1200
>mfw the PS4 is actually more expensive thanks to paid online
Anyone else here make a huge profit reselling PS3s? I sold my preorder for $1500, it was so sweet. Should've preordered more, but I was young and stupid.
>>333560584
Yup
>>333563159
I wish I would've done this with the Wii I had. I remember there was extremely high demand into like 2008 due to understocking.
>>333560584
E3 never topped this and likely never will.

I'd say more than half the site came here after 2010, so can't imagine many actually do.

tfw I live in the middle of nowhere and was able to just drive to walmart on the PS3 and Wiis launch and they had plenty of units in stock. Was able to buy a couple of each, then resell them in the city 200km away that actually had demand.
>>333562172
Time cant always stand still for you.
>tfw im now 21. was like 11 or 12 when it was announced
STOP THE FUCKING RIDE. IT'S TOO FAST!
>>333560584
>buy ps3 for 60 USD

How much did blu ray players cost at the time anyway?
>>333562172>There will soon be people on /v/ who's first console was the Wii U, XBone or PS4
>>333564516they're already here
>>333564469
Some where around $1000 to give you an idea
>>333563983
If you weren't on 4chan the PS3 launch was a shitshow everywhere even IRL
>>333563756
>He's funnier than you!

>>333561294

YTMND

wondering if we would actually buy a 600 dollar console and people complaining about something the NeoGeo did in 1994
Who has that video were a guy present a game like: now we present you BoringGame while making high jump and hitting the ground and nobody clapped
I think it was an xbox game
>>333565437

Anyone remember when the boomerang controller was going to be a thing
>>333565942

I was on this board.
I'm still a NEET.
>>333562268
That was a great e3. Sony and nintendo both shit the bed. 360 had a ninja release, pretty sure it came out a few months after the reveal. But the early 360s had a huge failure rate.
I actually skipped out on last gen almost entirely. Bought a ps3 for mgs4 and soul calibur 4, but that was the summer before i went to college, and i never brought my ps3 up there, ended up selling it. I played a few console games here and there on my roommates 360s but that was it. Shit gen overall.
>>333561005
On launch day for the wii I believe I paid $100 for a 2gb sd card. It was definitely higher priced because it was Best Buy but still insane.
