With the mad rush for PS3 , Wii, and Xbox we have already seen some retailers take precautions to limit the madness that is sure to breakout. IN this weeks ads, most stores are doing a lottery type system, where they are handing out tickets starting at 6 AM the morning of. While the hype around PS3 has been somewhat lacking, it is sure to be the thing to have this Christmas. Plus many will be upgrading their TV to showcase their new graphic games in their big screen samsung 50 inch LCD.I remember growing up and the game system to have was the Atari system. Complete with Missle Command, Asteroids, and Space Invaders. My how have things have changed to think of spending over $500 for a gaming system is hard to think of.
I can’t remember my parents waiting in long lines to get the Atari and Asteroids for Christmas. Although now you can get them for under $20, and all the games come packaged in a the actual joystick that attached to your TV. My Kids get a kick out of playing those games, which include Pole Position. I hope that when my kids get a little older that theses systems, do come down in price. After all, they haven’t seen the awesome graphics of the Nintendo 64 yet.
