[Strauss]

*cancels order of PS2 games*

[RASC]

they going for $2250 for the prepay on ebay

yeh i just realised that, expect to pay upwards of 2.5k on ebay for one
Demand and Supply

[R. Mutt]

I hear you can't sell them on ebay unles you have at least 50 sales and a 97 sale rating.

[RASC]

all of that
in the UK they totally banned it-you can only sell come next year february
typical britsh thinking when i tell you that place so backward eh, yall think is joke...some of you guys need to go there, especially after being in the us or going to mainland europe they essentially trying to criple the free market system, and act as if ppl cant form other ways to sell it through auction sites and/or the web

[Bezman]

yawn, PS what?? i cant play Halo on that can I? and why would i buy that and all the best titles are releasing on Xbox 360 also...and a premium 360 package going for 350usd now, lol, good luck Sony..

[Freelander]

where allyah hearing dem prices from dread

they selling it for $659 canadian for the 60 gig in future shop in canada and they have a minimum of 10 units per store

[Sky]

I hear you can't sell them on ebay unles you have at least 50 sales and a 97 sale rating.

And you ca't sell more than one unit.

[Duane 3NE 2NR]

$1200
these ppl on crack...

but you'd see sense to buy a watch for that price right?

[2NR Smurf]

^well yeh...
you cant really strap a PS3 on ur wrist to show ppl u got $$$.

and even if you could...it wouldnt look as good as a Movado.

[Duane 3NE 2NR]

^ I could tell time on mih phone

a PS3 is not only a gaming machine its also a CD/DVD player, a Media (MP3, AVI, MPEG) center for the home network and a TV internet device. - The movado could do that?

[wagonrunner]

movado gets you blonde bimbos buying you mojitus in trotters

[Dirty Face]

^^ I have a GUCCI what yuh feel I could get for that??

[RASC]

TO DUANE:
1. for $1200+ the watch was most likely hand made
2. some go up in value
3. conversation starter
4. can last you well pat the lifetime of a ps3-a decade or more-even generations dependsing on make


now thats value for money, lemme see a ps3 do that?

[God Bless the Black Top*]

i still want a PS3, just for GT and MGS4?!?! i'll haveta wait till prices drop, or buy one with a footprint on it.

in the meantime i go be broke and buy a Wii

[RASC]

yeh of course! still want one, i guess ill be getting it next year, after all this nonsence cool down

[Cjruckus]

Yeah a PS3 is a conversation starter, I mean if girls played video games and you had one, you would have been getting laid so much this christmas.

Gamestop is all pissed off cause their allocated supply numbers were cut by Half in most states. That Sucks Ass. I wouldn't want to be the guy who calls up some kid and says, "Yeahhhh sony is fcuking you this year"



But if I walked into best buy, saw one on the rack for sale. I would buy it, even for $700 US.

[scientist]

My friends got their hands on 3 of them. But i wouldn't ever spend that much on a Launch console. Sony already released their first round of firmware upgrades to fix some bugs. i got some hands on time with it and i can gladly say, i made the right choice buyin my 360....note i bought the 360 the same day PS3 came out after i got time with the PS3. I picked up gears of war today...and i must say....PS3....eat what u doing to your fans

[SUB]

Am guys, that price of $2000 for a Ps3 is like yesterday morning news
i`ll just copy and paste what i had from the other forum i`m on.
I posted this last night so most likely alot has happen since then

latest updates on the PS3 issue:

PS3 Blackmarket: Ebay Bubble Shows Prices up to $99,999,999

The auction for $99,999,999 was taken down. I think that on top of the violence, we'll see lots of mail fraud, but also, I think people are starting to see how ridiculous it is to pay this much for a console. Even if people are willing to stand around in the rain for it, overnight, and it does have supercomputing capabilities.

Playstation 3 mad-dash at local BestBuy
I originally went to my local BestBuy in South Portland, Maine tonight, but when I found out how they were going to decide who got one of the precious 26 systems available in the morning, I decided to stick around to see how it went

This is what happen in Japan a couple days earlier.

Massive fights at PS3 Japan launch!
Sony launched the PS3 in Tokyo this morning but the Kutaragi-led event was marred by unruly crowds fighting among themselves to get to the new PlayStation. Check out the mob scenes midway through our video report.

This is the after math which is hours after the morning rush.

Japan PS3 launch - after the first rush
Launch of the PS3 in Japan at Bic Camera at Yarakucho station. This is after the stampede of crazy people who erroneously thought it was time to buy some PS3s.
