PS3 and the New Alpha Uber-Geek
Grab your blankets and long johns. It’s time to relive the glory days of your youth and camp out to wait for tick…er…um…your chance at a shiny new Play Station 3.
According to Sony, 400,000 lucky souls will win the game console lottery on Friday and be able to wrap their frozen fingers around a shiny new console. What they do with their geeky prize is a matter of genetics and breeding.
The old school alpha uber-geek will take their new Play Station 3 home and feed their caffeine fueled gaming addiction until they conquer or collapse. They will, of course, assert their dominance in the species by inviting all of their wannabe uber-geek friends to join in the frenzy and drool over the new console.
But an amazing thing has happened since the arrival of the Xbox 360 a year ago.
The alpha uber-geek has evolved, and their superior intelligence has lead the more advanced members of the species to realize that there is more to life than having the coolest toys. There is money to be made!
This new form of alpha uber-geek has realized that capitalism is good.
Those who resist the temptation to tear through the shrink wrap and instead use their trembling fingers to launch an eBay auction will reap bigger rewards than those who give in to their addiction.
The profits made by feeding on the weakness of others can be used to fuel a need more primitive to the new alpha uber-geek than having the latest gadgets.
The newly evolved multi-dimensional alpha uber-geek prides themselves on their cerebral achievements, not just technological wizardry.
While not having the latest gaming console may wound the alpha uber-geek’s pride, they will smile broadly knowing that they have asserted their dominance by using their new found intelligence to distance themselves from the weaker members of the species.
