So whats the big party for?

"..oh..really?..all this for the Playstation3?"

Ummm... Hot Russian Chicks... As long as you can ignore the hair, that is.

But, what am I saying? This is a PS3 launch thread. You all know what you're here for.

The horrible Yakov Smirnoff jokes, of course.

You messed it up Crecente, It is "In Soviet Russia..."

It's ok tho, its a step...

The girl with the platinum quiff pulls it off well. Pulls...off...er nevermind

What no chicks with AKs?! This cant be Russia!

Big hair is BIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIG

It's becoming more and more difficult to dislike Sony's marketing division.

"There were plenty of PS3s on hand to play"

Unsold stock, eh?

I like the etched PS3. Pretty cool looking.

If I had the choice, I would get get a Spider-man webbing, ah-la "The Black Suit." It already has the Spider-man lettering, might as well get a cool chrome web design around it to match.

@Aex: I think Crecente needs a vacation.

@Cwolf267: Obviously if he is messing up the most simplistic joke in the history of creation! I'm kidding, tho, Next time your in the Bar Crecente, Order an extra beer on me, just tell your tender that "Aex says its A.O.K" and give little little hand gesture ;)

Is there a reason why the slideshow continues with scanned images of Tom Clancy's EndWar after the pic of the girl in the grey sweater???

It's better than a dead goat.

@stranger: And then continues on to other screens of other games...

Personally, I stopped questioning this stuff a long time ago, and learned to accept the fact that this site has some of the absolute worst navigation issues ever (and typos).

Now it just adds to the "Maverick Reporter" feel. Links don't work? Images overlapping onto each other and text? Horrible search function?

Welcome to the underground

@baxterpunch: "Images overlapping onto each other and text?"

I get the feeling Kotaku went IE-compliant. Screw standards!

I am old enough to remember when the only pictures you ever saw from Russia were gray and snowy and featured old women in babushkas and fat politicians. I think I like this better.

Damn Russian's look like they're finally going through the 80's,fuck being 25 years behind everybody else!

Nostrovya!!

Glad to know even Russia is full of meat head clubbers at these things.

Maybe her hair is silly but that girl is very pretty.

@wheezo: Fat women in grandmothers? What?

@Tezs: Oh look, a doublepost. (I need to decide all my replies before hitting Submit.)

It's на здоровья na zdorov'ya, or "to health".

in Russia, the hair pwns YOU!

it looks like a big ecstasy party going on...

fun times...

Is this living? IS THIS LIVING?!!

Chad Warden was RIGHT!~

Bless you Mother Russia.

One of those girls looks like Paris Hilton... Yuck...

Anyhow, is russia even that big of a contender in the console industry? They aren't the richest country on the face of the earth... It's sorta like the launch in India... In India, you can at least score sales with a Cricket game. What do you have that can do that in Russia? I guess I know very little about it...

Can Russians even afford PS3s??

The blond chick with the mohawk looks like the model from that controversial white PSP ad from a while back. Remember?

Do Russian PS3's come loaded with ads for Cialis and Hot Stock Tips?

Zdrasvuyete davochka! Poshla na khuij!

Damn, the thing isn't even out everywhere yet?

@Polkster: thats the first thing i was thinking, rusia is a big country but the PS3 is out of the budget of the masses in russia, sony should start to make games and to make the PS3 affodable for as much people as possible like NINTENDO, instead of waste money in things like this, now we should not be surpriced if in some months another personal cut in sony europe happen...

Russian women are worth a damn good rodgering....

You know, I could go on about the good-looking girls (or even some of the sharp-dressed guys), but really... that rococo PS3 is teh verified hotness. I want that. And that's coming from a dyed-in-the-wool Ninty zealot.

"Boris say it's ok to launch PS3 in mother russia, so you launch yes! Or do you want I visit the little your home to ask not so nicely? Oh and Boris says the party is booked for his nightclub and will cost you only 20 million....we throw in the girls for free"

:P

WTF ?
The real Russian PS3 launch is HERE

and real russians !

Russian women frighten me.

@Tezs:

thats what is so good about them. nuff said

Damn, looking at these people I want our bear-vodka-matryoshka stereotypes back.

By the way, number 36 is Sergey Orlovsky, president of Nival (the guys behind Heroes of Might & Magic V and Silent Storm).

Bah! Whatever happened to Misha!?

I needs me a Russian bride

@blackinwooman: Yeah, that's more like it.

@Tezs: Gorbachyov? I last saw him on TV attending Yeltsin's funeral.
Or you mean the Olympic bear? He flew away in 1980.
