I heard a great news story the other day. Some guy who had two consoles made a deal online to sell them for $5000 each. He agreed to meet the buyers at an empty McDonalds parking lot at 1:30 in the morning. Needless to say, they pepper sprayed him and stole both units.
I do wish you luck. People have been camping outside Walmart for days around me. :)

lmfao that's like so funny.. but harsh yes.. and over all... that's what he gets... "an empty abandone parking lot" " alone " trying to hustle for 5000$ ?

=overall an idiot.. lol

Thomas1970 · Nov 21, 2006, 11:55 AM

I agree. I do feel sorry for the guy, but he did kind of ask for it. :)

What about the playstation website? I'm sure they have a site that you can buy the stuff directly off them... and yeah that guy pretty much asked for it... im totally content with my playstation 2 and my uncle has an xbox he is giving me... so I don't need another one...

xHypoCondriacx · Nov 21, 2006, 10:24 PM

yea I would think the sony website would be selling it apparently.. not.. its like this.. either u camp out and wait on a random shipment or u just don't get one.. a little harsh for me.. I been a sony fan along time and this really got me mad.. ]= but I really really want one.

MJ6216 · Nov 22, 2006, 06:35 AM

Then go get you one and good luck!! Haha

Personally, prices have a chance of going down in the next few months. Some of the PS3's have glitches in them which include NOT being able to play PS1 and PS2 games, only PS3 games for the time being.

Hubby and I plan on getting one, once the consoles perform as promised.

xHypoCondriacx · Nov 24, 2006, 06:21 PM

Yea well by the time I do get one there won't be any glitches but I checked out the sony forum I'm aware of all the bugs lol that always happens in the beginning

Thomas1970 · Nov 24, 2006, 08:36 PM

Well, you knew it had to happen sooner or later... Big article in my local paper today, here in CT. Some guy was shot and robbed of his PS3 at the soda machines outside the Walmart in my town. According to the description, the wound was "the length and width of his foot", and required skin grafts to repair. :rolleyes:
Happy Holidays, and goodwill to all! :D

phillysteakandcheese · Nov 24, 2006, 09:37 PM

At this point, if you didn't pre-order or wait in line, it's extremey unlikely you'll get a PS3 in time for Christmas.

I wouldn't say it's impossible though - You might luck out and stumble into an opportunity to buy one.

xHypoCondriacx · Nov 29, 2006, 03:59 PM

well some stores are getting 20 gigs but I want a 60 gig and the only possible way for me to get one would be to camp out but I need to get my own money to do that. Otherwise moms paying and I got to wait. ]=

Dragonfire24 · Dec 16, 2006, 12:43 PM

I wouldn't waste my time and money buying one now anyway. I like my playstation but as we already know they are full of bugs. I could have had one but I decided against it. I will wait a year instead. That should be enough time for the dust to settle and Sony to work out the bugs, just like the PS2 launch. Also Sony deliberately baited everyone with lmited numbers available for launch. They are directly responsible for all the people who got hurt.

My friend has a ps3. It is so cool. My friend lets me play with it. Soon I will get one.

The eBay prices really aren't horrible. They were only around $2000-5000 right after release. Since then they've only gotten as high as $1200. Just yesterday they were at barely $750, and that's WITH a game (which go for $60 each).

I still wouldn't buy it. Maybe if I hit the lottery.
