Confirmed PlayStation 3 Launch Games
Today, the day the PlayStation 3 launched in North America, I swept through three stores (Circuit City, Best Buy, and EB Games) and cataloged the games available on the shelves. Here is what I saw:
For the record, there were The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion, Sonic, Full Auto 2, Rainbox Six: Vegas, and F.E.A.R boxes at EB Games, but they were just advertisements -- you couldn't actually buy those games yet.
As I finished up at Circuit City, my last stop, I picked up Bust-a-Move Deluxe for the PSP for $10 and chatted with the manager who was running the checkout. He said they got 6 PlayStation 3 units, which he volunteered was better than the 4 Xbox 360s they'd initially received in Fall 2005. Apparently people started camping out in front of his store on Sunday (12 November) and due to bad weather they'd gone ahead and given out vouchers on Wednesday night to the first six in line at that time. All six showed up on Friday to claim their machines.
I really don't see the point of anyone putting out any new games until Sony ships more machines.
