Today's hottest game video
Maybe we should call it "Today's snooziest game video," because the guys at PlayStation 3 Magazine are lucky enough to have a working PlayStation 3 unit (what else?) sitting in their offices, yet they make it look like they're talking about the fuel intake on a 1978 John Deere tractor. Show some excitement! Maybe raise your voice a little bit, or jump up and get down on it. Do something. Millions of people wanna be fondling that thing, and they'd probably be howling with delight while they did it.
We've seen human resources video presentations that are more exciting. Zzz. What makes it more noticeable is that we've seen these guys look a heck of a lot more exciting when handling a PS3. Maybe they've been up non-stop since they got it. We would have. Anyhow, they attempt to provide the world with a look at the PS3 startup process, and they sort of loosely take us through the steps.
"Once you get to this stage, it's already assigned the joypad a channel." Well, we hope so, because like the people commenting on the video, we also noticed that this unit takes a long time to start up. Also, you have to hold down the power button until it beeps to turn it off, and once it's in startup mode, you can't shut it down until it's done. Hopefully people won't mind the long load times, or the time it takes to shut the thing down. Ever try turning off your PC, and then accidentally hit the power button again after it's shut down? You have to wait until the entire startup process is done before you can shut it down, just like the PS3. Mildly annoying, but not a deal killer.
Quote of the video: when explaining how the power light changes color to show disk activity, *pause* "It's just thinking about it."
Check out the video after the jump, although you might want some caffeine for yourself on behalf of the PSM3Mag.com guys.
Plus, astute viewers out there might have noticed that our "Today's hottest game video" hasn't quite been daily just yet. Sometimes the hottest video is the same from day to day, so we won't re-post those. So we might have to find a new moniker for this new video segment. Just be assured that we're watching tons of simulated World of Warcraft sex, just for you.
