Unless my eyes deceive me, that's made from recycled PS2 plastic.

I can see people standing in line for the first "PS3" pens for a week. Then you will be able to find them in every store, not moving at all.

If it was a Wii pen everybody would bash on how technically inferior the ink is. You can play tennis with it though.

Cool, now we can throw the pens away instead. Nothing better for filling up a landfill than -inky- plastic!

Anyone find it ironic that they would use recyclable materials to make something that people don't think twice about tossing in the garbage? Why don't they use it to make more recyclable items?

Sony will probably consider this to their ps2 sales. Every pen counts as one ps2 right???

The pen from Wii recycled plastic would be very cheap, and fun to use. After using the Wii pen for a couple hours, you realize its not practical at all, and can't write down things well.
The pen from PS3 recycled plastic would be very expensive, but would be said to be able to write things more advanced then any other pen. It only has 2 different good cartridges.
The pen fron XBOX 360 recycled plastic would be a great pen at a moderate price. It would be able to use a great selection of cartridges. Sadly, after writing 10 pages worth of writing, the pen breaks. To use it on your friends paper, you must pay $50 a year.

Everyone will own a Wii pen, but get tired of it after about a week, it'll sit on the desk and collect dust, and everyone will go back and write with a mechanical pencil.

PS3 pens would probably have special "Six-inks" tech that changes your pens ink color but is hard to control.
