PS3 anyone?

[Knigh7s]

wow, they cut launch units by 50%. no wonder walmart only had <10 units per store here in vegas.

I'd rather wait for the 2nd or 3rd model release b4 i pick one up. as i do with all systems. i'd hate to spend that amount just to have hardware issues to battle.

[insert] just got a call from a friend in Georgia! he was able to get the 60gig PS3! now he just rubbin it in!!! [rub] [rub] [rub]

Well yeah systems shouldnt cost that much but also realize thing is costing them 900+ or so to make. Anyways back to point but like I tell people @ work they freak out because I buy all systems sooner or later. they ask why thast too much. I said ok it's like this What kinda car you drive?? (smirking because I know mine is already cooler than theres) I said ok you drive a certain car or spend more money on say clothes or shoes. I am and electronic junkie and even more a video game addict. Point is we all have our limit what we will pay for something but look what you own and your prize possesion and how much money you spend on it.

*side note: Even tho PS3 is pricey you have to realize the able to play blueray alone is worth the cost if your a HD movie junkie. Look @ what a normal DVD player runs that plays blueray disc.


However i am going to wait one because hardware issues and 2 becaus I am lame and didnt get a preorder in time. BUUt it I would have I would be selling it on ebay because liek a friend of mine said I cant see keeping a system I could sell for 1.5k or so, it would be like I paid that much for it when I didnt.


As far as buying, I got hooked on gamefly so I can play all the games I want and dont have to be one of those buy a game play it for couple weeks or month then be done. Course There are other services out there which I am changing to a better one but that is here nor there.

Happy gaming people

I definitely understand that point. If video games were my #1 hobby, I would spend whatever the cost to get a new system (within reason, those eBay PS3s through all reason out the window). But for me, I have half a dozen other hobbies that take precedence over video games.

Also, where is your info about the 900+ cost to make the PS3? If it is really costing Sony that much to make, then they must be putting a lot of stock in game sales. Does anyone know what the average price per game is going to be for the PS3?

OK well I aint paying ebay prices I will wait for one. Well I am not much of a reader just a hear sayer but friend is up on it all he said same with other systems and have heard the story around. They pay alot for the system but make money off thier games not there hardware. Ways its been for ps2 and xbox as well as now 360 and ps3. it makes sense. I guess call me gullible if it aint true like I said I hate reading with a passion too much rambling just get to point. But I will look for it if you would like or admit to everyone I am tarded.

I have a friend who had to return his PS3 that he camped out for (dumbarse!) because it wouldnt power up when plugged in. Got a raincheck for it, and according to him, the customer returns clerk told him that his was the "3rd" PS3 return for the no power issue that day. Interesting.

I will snag some shots of my 360 mod tonight if I can remember. I still want to wetsand the painted case and leave it dull for that flat, worn look. Still have yet to do that though.

ebay prices have dropped significantly....the day of launch it was 2000, yesterday it was 1000....(on craigslist but same difference). the ps3 has no killer game out yet.

btw for all the non360 owners, there a rumor amazon will have 100 dollar 360 core system on THIS THURSDAY....so keep ur eyes peeled if u want a 360..
