ps3mapSearching for the nearest store where you can possibly beat someone to a PS3 on November 17? Thanks to PS3Seeker, you can now use Google Map to find that store. The PS3Seeker Team has configured Google Map to show a list of local retailers, midnight release locations, and auction listings for the PS3 in your area by typing your zip code.

If your search showed the nearest PS3 is about a zillion miles away from where you are, don't panic. According to PS3Seeker the retailer location database is constantly updated and are adding new locations almost daily. So check the site from time to time to see if new info has been added in your area.

For the midnight PS3 releases, the map is limited only to BestBuy and Wal-Mart. But they are looking for fresh leads on other chains which are doing midnight releases so you don't end up camping out on the wrong store.

Woot

The PS3 launch anticipation is getting awesomely out of control. Wonder how many people are planning alternate routes with this if they find a huge line at their first choice location.

An ‘AAA’ level piece of writing

First off, kids, when you write anything, only write actual facts and not personal or subjective opinions, such as your own thoughts or fondness towards something; otherwise your piece of writing becomes garbage. This is a factual analogy of ‘Resistance: Fall of Man Vs. Gears of War’. I’m mentioning here that this writing only contains facts; so kids, don’t even try to argue with me. Facts can’t be argued with. At 1Up.com, 4 lifeless jack@sses called game editors have played Gears for more than 40 hours just now. I usually don’t have to deal with 3rd rated folks like these game reviewers because I only associate with far higher people only in my real life; anyway, these trash-like folks can be useful if you want to buy a game. Their impression scores are as follows. 3 reviewers said that Resistance is far better than Gears. 1 reviewer said that he wasn’t not sure and he gave 50 to 50 score. As I said, these 3rd rated pitiful folks actually have played both games hours and hours; therefore, their scores on the games are incomparably more accurate than you kids’ impressions because all you bark is based on watching videos and screenshots; so your comments are quite worthless. This is why most of you kids who visit QJ and other gaming sites have trash like lives in reality because you kids can’t even write some decent piece of essay; if your writing skills are like that, you can’t even graduate university or college. Let’s take an example of Resistance. When there’re 42 players in a game online, even when the actions are hottest and most intense, the frame rate of the game never goes down below 30 fps. Insomniac has tested it and officially confirmed this result. Here, we need another example of Gears. When there’re 8 players in a game online, we usually have between 25 to 30 fps. When the scenes are full of action, the game’s frame rate dips down below 10 fps. In the gaming industry, people use some these terms to describe such games: slide show or stutter-fest. If you are not satisfied with 1Up’s reviews which (1Up) is world’s biggest gaming magazine company (GameSpot and IGN both are bigger but they don’t publish magazines like 1Up does), then here’s another example of another world class gaming publication, Famitsu. Famitsu is notoriously famous for giving low review scores. Resistance got 8.25 from them. We can guess here that this score will be the lowest score any other publications will give (Japs are traditionally not interested in first person killer games; it’s a well know fact that Famitsu gives very low review scores) I’m surprised that Microsoft won’t release Xbox 450 in the near future when the Garbagebox 360 is a rushed and failed product. I always say this to others that I’ll only buy an Xbox 360 console if it has garbage disposal function in it, just like a paper shredder. Resistance is the next Half Life 3 when Gears is just another Lost Planet (what a stupid name choice, lost cause). A ‘B graded’ game like Gears can’t even be compared with an AAA game like Resistance. As I said once before earlier in this, all sentences here are facts; you just can’t argue with facts, kids. Just deal with facts and take them.

Why do you keep posting this?

I've got two questions...

1. What does this have to do with a Google Map configuration that shows where PS3s will be available? 2. Why are your 'facts' filled to the brim with opinions?

AAA Piece Of Crap

You sound like a kid yourself and your run on sentences are not very clever either. I think you need to go back to school and study how to enjoy life. Who cares about Xbox 360 when I am reading PS3 news and have you played both games yourself?

When will this guy stop

This codescending douche has been posting on just about every piece of PS3 news. I think in his mind he wrote some sort of gem and he thought he needed to educate the masses. He just comes off annoying in the end though.
