Recent History Lesson

November 19, 2006. Another beautiful day in paradise. Recently, PS3 came out. This may not seem historic, but it was. It marks the first time that something over or equal to $500 has been successfully been sold with no original ideas. The thing is literally the best of both the XBOX 360 and the Wii. It was so successful, that people were willing to take a bullet for it. And someone did. And 26.5% of people surveyed said they would too. Its just wrong. I went to my cousin's baptism today, the father said that we didn't have to repeat the PS3 fiasco with the donation envelopes. At the restaurant, people were talking about the guy who got shot, or the crowd that go trampled when told to form a new line. I wonder who decided to tell hordes of people that the line they are already in doesn't count and they have to race to get a good spot around the parking lot. Umm, yeah. I hope that guy got fired. What really bugs me is that most of the people who bought one sold it on ebay, and that somebody would buy one for $9,000. You're much better off with a Wii anyway. I got mine today and it is awesome. I showed up at the local Toys R Us, got at the end of a 115+ person line, and waited to get my Wii. the only problem is that by the time I found where the accessories and games were, all they had were classic controllers, Wiimotes, Happy Feet, and Avatar. I picked up a Wiimote, and my mom forced me to get a classic controller. Unfortunately, they had run out of nunchucks. Luckily, the good games were behind the counter. I got Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess. I have yet to play it, put I did just finish a game of Wii Tennis. I'm still sweating slightly and my brother hit his hand while going for a mean serve. It's a little sketchy but still fun.
One other historical event that has happened since my last post: Democrats took the house and the senate for the first time in my lifetime. The Colbert Nation is in turmoil. Not that I really care or know the differences yet. Have a nice day.
