OH. SNAP. Penny Arcade responds to Tretton's proposal

Posted Feb 10, 2007 at 7:23PM EST by QJ Staff

Hot on the heels of the latest news tidbit spreading across the internet, Penny Arcade's Mike Krahulik and Jerry Holkins opted to make a comic reflecting the... is there even a remotely journalistic term for "Oh snap?"

Yesterday, a host of different gaming blogs reported on EGM's latest issue, in which Sony's Jack Tretton defended the PS3. In this interview with EGM, everyone took notice of one of Tretton's statements , which said, "If you can find a PS3 anywhere in North America that's been on shelves for more than five minutes, I'll give you 1,200 bucks for it."

EGM mentions that the interview was done in early January, however, so if anyone wanted to actually claim that much money from Mr. Tretton, they'd have to get photographic evidence of unsold PS3s during the timeframe the interview was pegged in.

Enter Penny Arcade's biting wit. The above is a portion of the latest comic written by the PA pair, which would hypothetically make them US$ 13,200 richer. As we said in the previous article, expect Tretton's comment to get its proper spin (from the other side of the fence) very soon. For now, feel free to leave a comment and visit Penny Arcade's latest comic.

i live in NYC and im dying to get a ps3 and every store i goto always tells me they arent in stock etc. Last time i saw ps2's in stock at my local gamestop their was a line going right out the store. Although it is easier to find 1 now and im sure i could find 1 if i went out my way stopping by every gamsetop i can find its still alittle difficult to get a hold of 1 its not like i can walk into any store and they have 500 ps3's....so his coment does hold truth to it because who cares if people arent buying them in kentucky or ohio? does anyone even live there?

he obviously isn't going to give anyone money why can't people just see that he was trying to say that ps3's are still selling out and move on

# Low Sales — Guest 2007-02-11 07:48

Desperation is the word that comes to mind when they have to lower themselves to this.

# PS3 = Dodo — Guest 2007-02-11 07:51

Well they are being outsold 3 to 1 in Japan by the WII so why dont they try and unload some of these non selling Dodos in Japan to the USA ?,

# sigh — scarface_tha_second 2007-02-11 09:03

Just because they are being outsold doesn't mean they are not selling out.

# Because... — Shatterdome 2007-02-11 10:57

He was talking out his ass, and PA just busted him on it....

No big surprise, Sony loves lying and bending the truth to make them seem better then they are...

# I know that best buy/target location!!! — Guest 2007-02-11 14:04

# i wish he would give me money — Guest 2007-02-11 16:54

# uh — nights777 2007-02-11 20:13

This guy has plenty of money. He can SPREAD THE JOY! :)

# guys think before you say "i cant find one" — Guest 2007-02-11 21:00

right now on gamestop.com you can buy the 60 gig or 20 gig model of the ps3

if u want it then theres your chance

# Ebay — Guest 2007-02-12 05:06

Why dont they ask al the people that are trying to sell them on ebay. you can get them for far less than retail on ebay because all of those bastards that tried to mark them up are now very eager to get rid of them.

# And your Point is???? — Guest 2007-02-12 05:45

Too bad that the PS3 was sitting on shelves and not selling in Jan either. You could buy the PS3 on Xmas eve FFS. The only time the PS3 was sold out, was at launch day. But 50% of those were returned after not being able to sell them on ebay.

# Dumb dumb — Guest 2007-02-13 13:59

Dude owes me around 14K I found 4 at one walmart then another 3 at another. Then 5 at another. That was 3 walmarts in my area.
