Just arrived a few minutes ago (early Sunday afternoon 11/12/2006).
No fuss, no muss.
￥ 73,146 (or $614.52 US) for a 60GB PS3, Genji and Resistance.
Amazon was selling those games for about $43...cheap!

Digg it!

[quote name='Ikohn4ever']is it region free or is goin to be all japanese games for you?[/QUOTE]

PS3 games are region-free, but PS1 and PS2 games are still region fucking locked.

EDIT: Kudos, Cheapy, on being in the 1% of the soon-to-be PS3 owning population who didn't immediately run to eBay with theirs.
 
Brilliant Cheapy, landing a PS3 in Japan is probably a hundred times more difficult than here. That "One-Click" idea of yours was really smart thinking and I've definately set up my settings to hopefully land one as well.
 
Dude, that's so awesome. Congrats!!!

So hey, can we get a video review of Genji and Resistence...? well at least some kind of teaser before we hear you discuss it on the next CAGcast.
 
I'm somewhat jealous - but then, I only have 6 more days to wait, so I can make it. ;)

Congrats, now I hope you're enjoying that sucker! :)
 
Awww... DANGIT! You just had to put that video on here to rub it in ><

I'm waiting until Spring 2007 to get my PS3, once all the chaos is over.
 
Way to be an ass Cheapy. Show everyone how easy it was to get a ps3.

Jk nice score hopefully the games are as good as the shiny ps3.
 
[quote name='Vinny']What a big box... I don't understand why it's so much bigger than the 360 box.[/QUOTE]
This could be one reason...

You should fix your webcam on your TV and go into the CAG chat for a live PS3 marathon. We can ask you questions and stuff while you game.
 
I was watching the Japan launch highlights on the evening news and immediately thought about Cheapy receiving his PS3. Thanks for posting the video.

And I thought the 360 was a honking huge piece of hardware--wow, big, shiny, and black, the perfect game console for those aging gamers going through their mid-life crisis.

I'd like to echo the sentiment that for someone getting the rarest console this season, you look about as excited as a forsensic pathologist dissecting his eleventy-twelfth corpse.

Anyway, looking forward to your complete review of the PS3 and those two games in the next CAGCast...
 
Sweet vid, I love the tossing of the invoice. You look at it, then chuck it. In the back of your mind we all know you were like DAMN! thats alot.
Its looks so big, posting of gameplay videos soon to come?

It looks like the 360 is getting jailhouse raped.
 
You have to be the most unexcited person that will open up a PS3 this year. You acted like you got a toater in the mail or something.
 
Watching people unbox brand new consoles at launch is always its own special kind of porn. Coupling that with the 'Eagerly Anticipated Amazon Shipment' element really puts it over the edge. It's like Ralphie and the Red Rider BB Gun times ten.

Congratulations. Now just hope that not many of your gaming-fixated 'neighbors' see this anytime soon. Kidding. Kinda.
 
I'm jealous of you Cheapy. Hopefully Gamestop gets enough in so I can get my pre-ordered one.

Are you liking Resistance more than the demo, or has you opinion not changed?

Also, those of us who do get a PS3 at launch (and keep it) should organize a CAG Resistance game :D
 
Nice mirror finish but i'll probably open mine and set it up with gloves on cause finger prints are very noticeable and a bitch to get off on something like that. That's why I wanted to get a white one originally but no choice now.
 
I think I'll be like CheapyD in the enthused department when opening up a PS3. It's essentially just a faster PS2 with a PSP interface.....plus we had all this over hype crap last year with the Xbox 360, so I'm kind of spent in the excitement department. The that that really bogs me down is watching the Fall of Man reviews, seeing it getting a 9.1, and seeing it appears to be just another generic shooter. Can we say payoff?
