IT'S HERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

11th November 2006......a very important day in history.....the new playstation 3 came out in japan, think its a week earlier here than anywhere else in the world. fri night (10th) i was in Ginza district of tokyo...famous for many things, one being the sony headquarters... went in the sony building sat night and saw the new ps3 in the flesh!! man...its so sexy!!! see pics.
saturday, i got home and went to see adam who lives in the flat above me....when i walked in...i almost stopped breathing...adam had bought a ps3 !!!!! on the day they came out!!!! now when the ps2 came out, people here queued for days. this time was they used a lottery system. adam told me that they only had 50 in the whole of niigata city (big city), so he went to a huge shop in a nearby town called tsubame, he got there at 10am, he was then given a lottery style ticket, the nwas told to come back at 3pm when they would make the draw, now, this shop only had 10 ps3's and adam had ticket number 120 at 10am, by 3pm there must have been a few hundred people vying for 10 ps3's....anyway, long and shotr of it...adams number came up, chances were incredibly slim, but the jammy sod got one of the 10!!! it costs about £300 over here, and i got to play on it last night...hhmmmmm...needless to say...its pretty amazing. no idea when next batch out...we'll see.....it has wireless controllers!! anyway...was quite funny to speak to adams japanese girlfriend, who just did not get any of the fuss, or why we were both like 4 year old kids!! love it!!
