I was astonished how some , make that many people , will go through to get the new Playstation. In our local Best Buy store , a long line formed a day before the PS3 was made available for sale .
Not only in US ( photo showed line in Taiwan )
' Did they sleep overnight in front of the store ? ' my wife asked in bewilderment . In other areas , the news said that stampedes even happened . Like in Walmart in someplace . Unbelievable . I guess , a lot of parents want to make their kids happy although some enterprising folks eventually sell theirs at eBay for twice the price they paid for .
' Did you buy your son one ? ' I asked Ziggy , my friend. ' Absolutely not. Not ever ' he answered . He then explained why . Apparently , he bought his son a Playstation before and the son was ' addicted ' ( Ziggy's word ) to playing it . ' I'll probably do the same thing ' he then added . I guess it's true. Some countries in Asia banned arcades where these games are featured. I played video games ( as they were called then ) before and it was a lot of fun really . You just keep playing . More so of today's games . The games now are in HD and the graphics are mind blowing . I don't know if I will start playing electronic games again. Right now , I am trying to master electronic casino games !

dang! I still remember pong....then pac man..and mrs pac man...and mouse trap..I loved those games...one time I was doing assorted booze and meth and sat in front of a pac man machine and me and my brother in law played it for 4-5 hours..I said no more...it was more addictive than the drugs and the booze.. I had to pare down my habits..so gave up the games...
Happy Thanksgiving sweetie!
Have fun and be safe!
