Playstation 3 demo kiosk now up and running in New York

Ó


Finally, playable Playstation 3 demo kiosks made it into the big cities, New York, to be exact. As the description accompanying this video reads, this clip was taken at the Toys R' Us outlet which is located in Times Square. The store has not one, but four kiosks, all clustered together, probably as an attempt to make up for its more solitary Japanese counterpart.

The video shows a customer testing out the machine with what looks like Ridge Racer, though we're not really sure. It is unknown whether the other three units also feature the same racing game or if it has other titles for the public to sample.

A big "thank you" goes out to badam for the heads up!

Motorstorm

If I'm a bit correct, that should be Motorstorm he's playing.

Bets graphics

Ausome graphics! Better than xbox360 and you can tell that from a low quality video. those graphics are amazing and sweet!

wow!

no one is playing with them.. anyone remember long waits to try 360 kiosks?

not wow!

first off it is at Toys R Us so I'm sure unless gamers pay close attention to this news they won't be strolling by there, and I'm sure plenty of parents have had to pry their children away from those things already in screaming hissy fits. Also check out the photo on the right in this article http://ps3.qj.net/?pg+49+aid+71535 lol360

Uh, 4?

Looks like 2 being used and 3 turned off? That would be 5 using the new math.

by - 2006-11-03 10:53:24
damn

WOW.. Can't count that there is 5 kiosks.. and has no clue that the game is Motorstorm.. need a new job?!

shutup fanboy

"Ausome graphics! Better than xbox360 and you can tell that from a low quality video. those graphics are amazing and sweet" Dude your a moron if your compairing the graphics from that video to the graphics of the 360. The 360 has more memory and the ps3 has a better processor. They are pretty much equal and only the games will set them apart. I'm really tired of all you fanboys and why do you care so much who wins? It's not like you have stock in Sony or anything so just find something else to argue over.

heath

Heath, it's pointless to argue with idiots, they're just stubborn. Calling me a fanboy? Well, wait, didn't you bring up the whole PS3 is better XBOX 360? Why would you say that? Do you have a nail up your ass and have the desire to add the fuel to the FIRE. It's not like its extinguished yet, but you just won't let it. Then same people like you say "Well, Why are you arguing. Go play on your 360 if its so good" Well, I would, but idiots like you irritate me. Your like a little *****roach. I wish I could step on you and crush you, so not even a wet spot would remain. On the other hand, I think I know why you keep bringing this up? Scared that your beloved Sony will not do as well as last gen? Are you a little puppy going around and trying to lick off Sony's mistakes. Man your some ***** I tell ya.

you should have posted with the "reply"

and anyway the ps3's graphics are like you said, yes, but the quality of motorstorm is beating any racing game on the x360 anyway. Only gears of war is beating the ps3 right now :D ( looking great ). but it's not for a long time, after early 2k7 all the games will be Über cool in graphics ( on x360 and ps3 ), but PS3 have the best games for me so I'm sold to sony ( sorry M$ but anyway I hate you for your stupidity, I mean, you could have at least installed winXP on your x360... you're letting your fans down... )

by - 2006-11-03 18:26:12
I got the answer

Why? Because the other 3 broke rofls. Did you see my other post. C'mon admit it, why would they keep them off when there is such a huge hype for them. I mean look at all people standing. (Doesn't mean PS3 will succeed, just as many people were in the lines to try out the Xbox 360) Just face it. PS3 sux.
