Has anyone seen PS3 kiosks in any American airports anywhere? Because I haven't. I saw these at Charles De Gaulle airport a week ago yesterday.

well to begin with CDG is one of the most bizzaro fuckng airports i've ever passed through, like taking a tour through unused parts of some unwritten JG Ballard book. It feels like leftover sets from Solaris crossed wtih a Citroen ad from the 60s and death. Likewise, there's a reason why the PS3 is doing much better in Europe than the US. Gotta say though, the PS3 sucks as a game console for the most part, but it's a hell of a blu-ray player.

I have to agree, I use the PS3 as a Blu-Ray-player and it is excellent. But I don't own a single game so I can't say if it's bad or anything.

I haven't seen one of those PS3 sets in Sweden though.

Weren't Microsoft teaming up with someone to install Xboxes? Or maybe that was at hospitals?

I remember, Jesus it's about 20 years now, but when the Nintendo came out, they had kiosks at the airport in France. I thought it was the coolest thing I had ever seen, and I was convinced that French folk were playing an advanced version of Mario brothers that my 9 year old mind couldn't understand. Nostalgia is fun!

I saw a few of these at the new Nationals baseball stadium here in DC. It doesn't make much sense for kids to be playing these when they're paying for a ball game, though.
