[miguel camacho!]

my roommate is bending over backwards trying to find a way to get his hands on more than one...you know those things will soon be up on ebay for a couple thousand each. it really makes me sick.

 

[DDReptiles]

I'd rather get more geckos 8)

Especially since the early models of a system always have bugs. For instance, it is already been reported that 200 or more Playstation and PS2 games don't work right on the PS3. They either won't play audio, or won't play at all. I only bring this up because after someone pays $2300+ they won't be able to afford any of the new games and will have to resort to playing old games that may or may not work.

 

[JBReptiles]

best thing to do is wait like 2 years so the fix all the bugs and theyll be alot cheaper then too.

There are people on Craigslist who will, for $50 wait in line for you 24 hours in advance and then call you when the doors open so you can take their place


Another one wanted $20 an hour and they would wait as long as you wanted.

 

[miguel camacho!]

dang! do they not realize they can get a real job that pays better than waiting in line for 24 hours for $50? when you break it down, it's a tad more than $2.08/hr that way.

 

[bugman426]

There was a vide on some site, i forget which of 10 guys who were waiting, starting a week ago outside BB to get one. One guy quit his job to wait on line, and another guy couldnt afford an engagement ring because of the PS3.

The kicker? BB made them leave after they waiting for days, telling them they cant camp out till 24 hours before the release

[smallskiluv-tha-rhaco]

LMAO!!! at those geeks that be making stupid decisions like quitting their jobs to even calling their weddings off just to wait in front of the mega-stores for weeks until Friday!! These folks sure aren't gonna get anywhere in life, that's for sure!!
:roll:
I'm eventually getting the PS3 but,

......in a couple years!!! LMAO!!!!!! :roll:

Seriously!! All cuz I aint payin no $600-700 for that freshly new game set!! Hell No!!

I rather wait a few years as the prices drop; I'm a very patient dude... :mrgreen:

Sony is notorious for rushing out the system with problems beyond software bugs. There was the overheating issue with the PSX, the disk drive failures in early PS2's, etc. The second one wasn't publically acknowledged though. There were other various hardware issues as well.

If you get something the first day I really would get insurance.

i have a friend that has been camping in front of best buy this entire week, people down south started camping out at the beginning of last week.

ebay is putting strict restrictions on selling them online though, and the stores only allow one per customer so they are definitely attempting to stop the problem of high resale prices, i can stress the word "attempting" enough though, because we all know there are loop holes to everything....

 

[thrower]

Well it comes down to the fact that a big number of the folks waiting aren't waiting to get one for themselves. They are waiting to get one so that they can sell it for a huge profit and then buy one later when they are reasonably priced and in stock.

 

[docszoo]

Ehh. . . not that big of a game fan anymore. . . :lol:

 

[herperboy]

Yeah theres a line in front of my local Best Buy. All the gamers have their tents and Xbox 360s set up. lol

 

[smallskiluv-tha-rhaco]

LMAO!!! @ these game freaks!!! :roll:

 

[geckoboy]

Anyone buying one of these off ebay for the prices they are asking is either filthy rich or a ridiculously unintelligent person.
Video games are not life people...wait 2 months and every store will have 100's of PS3's in stock and you will only be paying retail value, which is also exorbitant but slightly more realistic.
