I didnt get a PS3 :(

[WlknGenius]

Seriously, what the fuck is the point of buying these new game systems right when they come out?

- It costs $100-150 more than it will in a year
- The launch games all SUCK
- There's almost ALWAYS something wrong with the hardware
- The launch games allSUCK.

The only really good reason there is that there usually is something wrong with the hardware.

Dude, I pay well over 150 bucks a year for cable. So having that kind of entertainment for a year over your PS3 is worth 150 dollars if you enjoy video games.

Some people are really in video games and are willing to drop a lot of cash in them. You are really into e30s and drop an equal if not greater amount of cash into it that would not be spent otherwise.

If you have ever been a big fan of anything, then you get what the point is.

By next christmas, I'll buy one when the price drops to about $300 or so, and the price of games drops by about $20, all the Joneses who camped out in front of Wal-Mart for 3 days will feel like idiots for paying twice what I paid and freezing their asses off with the rest of the guys with no girlfriends.

Some of those Joneses made alot of money, $6700 bones (before system cost) like blunt's kid. Had I of known what they were going to do then I would of done the same. Easy money + payed vacation ftw.

[blunttech]

i agree on the fact anyone paying that kind of money is a tool but id bet 90% of the people camping out for them are flipping them to other tools who cant get off work or dont have the inclination to sleep outside a store for 2 days to make a few grand.

[hugh jass]

So lame, I COULDNT camp like I wanted to soo bad. The release date ended up to be on a lame ass field trip I had to take 2 hours away from home for school. So I wouldnt be in town to camp....

By buddies got in line though, you can see the pics here

When I was around though it was kinda fun just chillin outside lol. We got a trash can from menards and started a bon fire.

God, those things are such a damn profit...

I think you needed to use lame 3 more times so you sound completely like a 15 year old girl.
'lame ass'!
lol

$5 says you open this thing and play it before you get it on the Bay.

I think the buzz is over - if somebody **really** wanted one, they bid already, but maybe there will be a resurgence in price like Dec. 20th if Sony doesn't release too many more.
I bet Sony could have made more, just like MS could have made more too, but all the free publicity and the perceived scarceness fuels sales.

[etxxz]

^^ yup. If your intention was buy to sell and didnt sell it already then you're not going to make much money...hell now the camping for 3days wasnt worth it. lol sucks for those people maybe sony played you all and they're going to have a good supply by christmas time.

neways i got pleeenty of money for mine and looks like i'll just wait a few days and buy one for myself!

Thank you, someone else who doesn't drop their entire lives when a new console comes out...

The number one reason people lose their minds and spend thousands of dollars on this shit when it comes out? So they can tell everyone they got one. That is THE ONLY real reason, and you can deny it all you want. By next christmas, I'll buy one when the price drops to about $300 or so, and the price of games drops by about $20, all the Joneses who camped out in front of Wal-Mart for 3 days will feel like idiots for paying twice what I paid and freezing their asses off with the rest of the guys with no girlfriends.

Zelda doesn't suck, jerk :(

[92 mtechnic cabrio]

6000$??? How fucking stupid do you have to be to pay 10fold on a game console when in a couple of months it'll be selling for retail?

After this initial release, there won't be anymore on shelves until 2008.

[ivo316]

I decided to buy an e30 in 1986, and i bought it now, THAT'S how cost conscious I am.

Well, I guess i never had the money to buy a PS2 anyway, so it was not an issue for me. :(

If I had it, I would get another e30

[Spaz]

Zelda doesn't suck, jerk :(

true dat

who told you that

word all over the intenet suggests otherwise and before christmas...certainly not untill 2008.

[jajou318]

A friend of my brothers stood in line with his friends for 2 days... bought four of em. Straight to ebay 2k each

[german g]

good thing....all of the games are crap, except for fall of man.

[kidrobot]

That shit's just ridiculous. People have waay to much money and f'd up priorities.

Says who? Maybe you are jealous of the people who bought one?
<< Proud ownder of: X360, WII, AND a PS3. Why? Because I can still pay my
bills, afford to put my kid in college, and pay my cars and apartment ahead
of time.

Because Josh, all the first Gen consoles are easier to crack. When everyone else is
out buying games for their new X360, I burn mine. Payed for itself already. I own all
the 360 games and payed for um.... two....

Plus I'm a lead in reverse software engineering on another known site. For my reasons
it works for me. Who cares if the games suck? I have a machine more powerful than any
desktop on the US market that can chart and predict a nuclear fallout with a 0.001% error
margin. Lets see your VAIO do that.








Warranties are for suckers.
