All sold within 30m?Well, that I don't doubt, seeing as they have an imminent supply-side shortage on their hands.Just because a manufacturer makes 100 consoles and they all sell out on launch doesn't make the system popular...not literally speaking, of course.

Awesome it comes with "fun and games"I wonder if there is a guarantee on the fun?

Ummm... no.....The first day I got my PS2, I was wondering why there weren't any games besides SSX out yet. Oh--unless you count that Missile Command rip off. You know, the one with prettier colors and crappier gameplay?

How about neither? I love Nintendo games as much as anyone else, but you're a fool to say that they aren't "rehashes" of previous games. How many times have we had to play Zelda, Mario, Metroid? The same goes for Sony also, but they aren't nearly as reliant on their classic franchises as Nintendo is.

Dumbass, stupid f**k or asshat. It doesn't need to make sense, assface, it's an insult.

OK, let's clear some stuff up right here and now. Since this was leaked by someone, I feel quite comfortable in explaining how this site came about. First of all, let me explain why I know so much about this site - it's the last project I worked on while I was an employee of a New York company called DLI, which has an e-learning product called ScribeStudio - and if you notice, the URL of the site transforms from "www.ps3training.ca" to <a class="user" href="http://ps3.scribestudio.com/saveLessonPage.do.">http://ps3.scribestudio.com/saveLessonPage.do.</a> The site is intended for Sony Canada, and my client, as some have discovered here, was a really nice guy from Canada named Mel Fishman, who hired DLI to build a simple e-learning program for the PS3 retailers in Canada. Mel works with a wide range of companies to help them with product launches and this was a teeny tiny little corner of the program for the PS3 launch that Mel is working on in Canada. You all shoud be so lucky as to work with a guy like Mel. But I digress. The Pair account was used because of some specific technical needs that the project had, the intention was to have a relatively limited audience accessing the site. The pair site hands off to the ScribeStudio site and that's pretty much it. I can't comment on the copy and the content on the training site, because all I was responsible for was getting the content into the e-learning software, checking it for glaring errors in spelling and format, and that was it. Anyway, there's nothing nefarious, mysterious or even particularly complex about this site - it's a simple retail sales force training program, an alternative to the usual slideshow or photocopies of product brochures that go out to the salesforce. It was a quick and realtively simple job. I don't work at DLI anymore, but they do all sorts of interesting stuff and this was one of those things.
