paying $900-$3k for Play Station 3 on ebay?

Over sticker on a game console.

 

wtf? Maybe those people camping out in front of Toy-R-Us aren't as stupid as I thought.

 

I camped out for a 360.. got the platinum for $400 and a core for $300 sold the core on the spot cash for $500 and the platinum on ebay for $800. $600 = worth camping out one night

 

You missed the whole thing with 360?

What's worse is people paying over sticker price for Tickle Me Elmo dolls....hmmm

 

My nominees: ghost_masterCL, Silver, and Moog-Type-S...


They are big-time PS3 lusters.

 

<----- perfectly happy w/my 360 at the moment... and I didn't pay penny over retail (got lucky on day 1 of release)

 

For Sale

$850

First taker gets it.

 

That's cuz you lack true ambition. Chest-hair. Gonads.




A real man would go after that earth-destroying, kitten-eating, ozone-sucking Hellmachine from Sony.

 

Im sure some think your spending habits on paintings and guns is nuts too.


I refuse to buy a game console over $150, if that.

 

 

As P.T. Barnum said "There is a sucker born every minute" (although Wikipedia says he didn't say it)
And now with todays birthrate it is probably more like every second.

 

Yes, but one big difference........I can actually get my $ back on most of what I purchase (and in many cases more).

But I should say that PS3 is so expensive at retail to begin with, that if you sold the system used (even after Christmas) you would get a portion of your $ back.

My buddy has 360, its cool....but doesn't PS3 have better hardware?

 

^good poiint

I think PS3 also has HD-dvd...

 

Ooooof...please observe the many pages dedicated to the R&P topic known as the "Sony PS3".




In all seriousness, "better" is arguable. But, again, the thread explores that. I think the machine is impressive...but, it's also a giant gambit by Sony. Their survival may likely depend on this console.

 

...actually, it has Blue Ray, which would be the only reason for me to buy one... (a stand alone player is $1000), but then again... there aren't even much on Blue Ray DVD at the moment...


and BTW... the 360 is gonna get the HD DVD...

 

I would assume it's Blue Ray, being that it's not made by Toshiba.

 

I don't think I would even pay MSRP for it. What is it, $500? Spending money to waste time in the dark, inside, on the couch, getting fat doesn't seem too smart to me.

 

60gb version is $600 retail.

 

is the PS3 out already?

 

November 17 for North America.

...tentatively.

 

PS what? lolz

 

In a LOL-ing mood tonight, are we (two posts I see where you're LOL-ing)...?

 

Im tickled pink by the notion that asshats are willing to pay upwards of a grand for a system when they can instead dump that cash into a 360 and a bunch of cool games instead.

hell its what Im doing this christmas

(funny thing is, my sis wants to get a ps3... I told her I'd get the 360 and she said she'd get the 3 Im getting away with murder here lol)

 

...it's like I said in the PS3 thread... the only games at launch that I'm interested are going to be out on 360 as well... (then there's the highly anticipated game-"Gears of War" that's NOT even going to be on PS3)... so what's the point? I'm sure there be some games out later that will only be on PS3 that might interest me... but for now? I don't need to go out of my way and spend the $$$ for this console.

 

I guarantee that you will hear about some CRAZY sh*t on and during the week of November 17th!!!!!! This is the tip of the tectonic plate!!!!

 

i dunno, i want one

although i won't pay over retail

 

Beltfed before you pull the trigger on one of those PS3's on ebay..... might wanna consider this (rumor):

http://www.kotaku.com/gaming/top/rum...ers-211258.php

 

Wow that would be crazy if it were true.. I might stakeout the local Best Buy/Wal-mart here and see if I could get one.. i'm sure someone would pay $800-$1000 for it.

 

I'm pretty happy with my PS/2 that I "borrowed" from my older brother. Plus I don't play video games that much anyways

 

Well, exactly...with banjo practice and all, I don't think you'd have much time to play the PS2 either.

 

Would be interesting if that came to be.

 

Well even if I had a banjo, it would still be greater than your cute 'lil piano

 

I got my PS2 off ebay and payed too much ($500 - first week of sales).....Im in no rush, but I probably will get the PS3....My issue is that if I get it in the UK, it probably won't work at home.

 

^ But isn't the UK "home"?

 

Never.

 

So you'd buy a console that you wouldn't be able to use in your current, full-time residence, but you'd consider one that would work the few times a year you're back to visit in the U.S? By "home" I meant, that's where you reside right now, full-time.

 

By home, I meant where my peeps are.....

 

I would camp out at a local store, but i dont even have a pre-order...so i dont think it will do anygood. Looks like im going to have to wait a few months...maybe better that way to read some real reviews on the Wiivsps3

 

:shakehead i would NEVER pay over a thousand, or even $600 for a game console. i payed 500 for like a 360 bundle, with like a controller game xbox live and stuff. but that was from like bday money and stuff. i cant belive 3000 bones tho. wow

 

when ps2 first came out i got in line to buy one then sold it the next day for a grand
