PS3 Fanboy

Yea, I bought this without even owning an Eye, thinking it would work and a plain old screensaver and it won't start up without an Eye attached. Screensaver, my @ss. Give me my money back!

You can drop fish food actually. It's hard to do though and it doesn't register all the time. You have to kinda twiddle your fingers in one place.

Yeah, some lost potential here. At least it's only $2.


BTW, am I the only one who can see the articles about PS3 outselling the Wii in Japan for all of November?

What is it named? Aquatopia or Aquavita?

You call it both.

You can drop food in, you just have to really dabble your fingers a lot and pretty hard at the water's edge to make it happen. I didn't figure out how to do it until a visiting family member over Thanksgiving did it and I saw food sprinkling down. Pretty cool.

I like it and my kids like it. My review is here:

Ok, where to begin. First off, I too bought the title without the Playstation Eye, but I do not feel bad at all that it doesn't work without the eye. This is because I read the huge yellow letters that said "Playstation Eye Required". I have zero sympathy for those that can't read or those who assume. I will be getting the eye very soon and look forward to using this when I can, but for you idiots that bought the thing and assumed it would work anyway I'm glad you lost your money.

Secondly, for $2 who cares what you are getting?! IT'S TWO BUCKS, OR, it's two mcdonald's double cheese burgers and if something is priced that low how in the world can you have ANY expectations, especially for the PS3?! At least it doesn't give you the runs after you use it right? At two dollars you can't expect much, and if you do expect a lot Mr. Yoon let me ask you something, should we start to expect 30 times the level of quality for games such as Lair? Why in the world are you on here, geeking out for something that doesn't have much substance, when it only costs TWO DOLLARS. Gimme a break and come to your senses. I freaking spent $600 on my darn PS3, almost that much in video games, $50 for an extra controller, do ya still think I care about two dollars? Two dollars is nothing, not even 1% of what I spend on groceries each month! Heck, I would pay you two dollars to just give me a preview of what aquatopia is instead of telling me that somehow saving $2 is actually going to make me feel better at night.

So, in conclusion, not only did you miss the entire concept behind aquatopia (that is, there isn't one, it's just interactive art, why should it change how you look at the world/video games), but you make this game/screensaver feel as if it is $60 instead of two. I find it surprising that this kind of stuff would show up on this webpage, and it is disturbing to think that you would have to go out of your way to try and keep people from spending two bucks when clearly if it just turns on it's worth two dollars. Disappointing.

Lol, this is a definite buy for me when I get a PlayStation Eye just so I can show it to my family (got a lot of younger cousins). That was simply the reason why I bought Super Rub A Dub, and my younger siblings and cousins love it.

I remember when they bought Eye Toy: Play....that lasted for quite a while (they should release those on the PlayStation Store).

Nice. I'm a sucker for virtual aquariums, ever since I had to give my real reef aquarium up.
