A 007 Game for PlayStation 3?

While driving by Circuit City on my way to work yesterday I saw that that sidewalk outside was flooded with huge tents and countless teenagers. I couldn't figure out was happening, surely if something this big was going on I would have heard about it.

My first thought was that a new Star Wars DVD was coming out, but I decided to go inside and ask, I had to know. The man that worked there told me that they were all waiting for the new PlayStation 3 to come out. Figuring it was a Wednesday morning and they had probably been there since Tuesday, I was shocked to find out that the PlayStation 3 doesn't even come out until Friday.

This is so confusing for me on so many levels. First of all, how do these people have three days to devote to sitting outside of Circuit City just to get a PlayStation 3 the day it comes out? Are PlayStation 3's really worth that much time and devotion? And on top of that they are holding the PlayStation 3 above their jobs. No matter where they work I can't picture their manager saying, "No, its fine I understand you can't come to work this week because the PlayStation 3 is coming out on Friday and you have to wait in a tent outside Circuit City. I completely understand the importance of being the first one to have a PlayStation 3." Right.

And if you look at what has happened in the past, for example with the XBOX 360, it seems completely ridiculous that these gamers aren't learning their lesson when it comes to the PlayStation 3. So many of the first XBOX 360's to be made had to be recalled because they were defective, so what makes these loyal PlayStation fans that are devoting their entire WEEK to getting a PlayStation 3 think that the PlayStation 3 is going to be any different? And another thing I recently found out is that many of the PlayStation 2 games aren't even going to be compatible with the PlayStation 3. What a bummer.

With the new (especially PlayStation) games nowadays the graphics are almost disturbing to me and every game is exactly the same, you run around and shoot people. The 007 game was great because not only was it one of the first shooting games, but even for people like myself who don't really enjoy the most gory of shooting games, 007 was just as fun as anything else. The PlayStation 3 has come a long way since Nintendo 64, and I don't think that any 007 game for PlayStation 3 will ever compare.

For these reasons alone, Nintendo 64 will always remain number one in my heart. And the best game (besides Mario Kart) was definitely "GoldenEye 007." And with the new 007 movie coming out around the exact same time as the PlayStation 3, it's easy to see that just because the PlayStation 3 is new, no PlayStation game will ever be better than GoldenEye 007. And that's a fact.
