When I picked up PS today in NH the guy told me they had been flying off the shelves! I hope this is part of a widespread trend!

I'll be watching for PS on http://www.gamespy.com/stats/
(That is if they list MMOFPS's, which I'm not sure they do)

They wont show stats.

Matter of fact they removed actual server #'s of players towards the end of beta.

Heh wonder why?:)

I can't really comment on whether they are selling like hotcakes since I've yet to witness the sale of hotcakes

Sony won't release statistics on subscription rates and retention, but the sale of game boxes is a matter of public record.

I'd be very interested to hear how many ppl are playing online tonight. I have visions of roaming through one empty continent after another.... By the end of the week I'm sure it will be better, but when will it be back to "normal" ?!

HEHE

Good luck finind an empty contenent it ain't gonna happen.

I took the Skeater tour (Faster then killing people) and every cont was pretty stacked. I figure about 1800 on Emerald, with about 2k on Markov.

I talked my friends at EB into giving me the fold-out PS poster in front of the store when they're done with it. It'll go nicely with my life-sized Zealot from Starcraft, and my laminated, heavy duty Dues Ex "Trust No One, Question Everything" poster :D

So the game only has 2 servers up out of 10

And they cant even flood crash them 2 servers on day of release, yah, must be selling like hotcakes heh.

This isn't a Microsoft game product, it's written by Sony - therefore it actually works on the day of release.

Lol guess you didnt play EQ when it went live heh.

That was long ago, Sony has learned from that kind of stuff ;)

As for day one, I would not worry about the servers not filling up right away. Give it some time, not eveyone buys the game on release day :p

and a lot of people that do buy it, don't get it right away. I have at least two days to wait before I can join my dragonwolf brothers and sisters.
