[QUOTE="Mark W**a, post: 65352, member: 1196"] I kinda got to thinking. I do read this board, and from what I've read most of you bought your PS3's in 2008, or later. And kudos on a smart decision. Not only did you get the hardware for a good price (300-400$) you also had quite an established library of great software to play. You got trophies, clean/fast online play, games already patched, and reliable hardware. This is not true for early adopting masochists such as myself. Hey guys, remember Resistance Fall of Man? How about absolute classics like Full Auto? Of course you don't. Why? Because this software was crap. And guess what? This was the cream of the crop of PS3 launch! Remember Six-Axis? Early adopters controllers didn't even have vibration lol. Ever get a yellow light of death? Well, it's pretty common for early PS3 models, like the Phat 60 gig. How bout a red ring of death? Lol, yeah, I'll go on record saying that early 360's have a 100% mortality rate. There is no way, no how, there exists a working 360 that was manufactured in 2005. Early adopting a console is not easy. PlayStation 3 bombed in it's first year. B.O.M.B.E.D. Yet, you still could not get one until, at earliest, late December 2006/early January 2007. I had to wait 3 days in line to get one on launch day. And yeah, I was a little too tempted by the Ebay madness and I sold mine for a big profit. Had the PS3 not been had such a poor launch, realistically you'd be looking at Spring/Summer 2007 ,at the earliest, to get one. That's what I expect with PS4. Even most early adopters are going to have to wait until Spring 2014. That's a full year from now. For all we know, Pinball Arcade won't even be ready for PS4 until then anyway. So I guess my point of the thread is: stop worrying, enjoy Pinball Arcade now on your platform of choice, and relax. [/QUOTE]
