Best Foot Forward

Here are four interesting things that happened to me at the mall today, all PS3-related (when I commit to a theme week, I really commit to a theme week).

1. While inside Gamestop, I overheard a guy playing the PS3 interactive say, "Shit, the 360 looks better than this!"
2. The situation in EB Games was that of a number of gents huddled around the 360 interactive playing Gears of War while the PS3 stood beside it untouched the entire time I was in there. There were many customers in the store; wouldn't they want to play the hottest new gaming console out there? Oh that's right, they have been for a year now.
3. As I passed the PS3 interactive in Best Buy, I saw two noticeably frustrated guys staring at a frozen image on the screen. The system had obviously locked up. I couldn't resist making a comment so I said, "Hey guys, are we witnessing the power of the Playstation 3?" They chuckled and the three of us searched the unit for a way to reset the system. No dice. So we simply walked away in disgust.
4. Just before exiting the mall, I passed by the previously mentioned Gamestop and noticed that their PS3 interactive was now frozen in a very similar manner to Best Buy's. I think we have a winner here, folks.
