closing time on thurs is too late, imho. not for a console with this much hype and expected shortages

You mean negative hype, right? And the only shortages i think we'll see is shortages of fun with it.

I was considering going camping out for one, and flipping it on ebay. But I have a feeling that ps3 isnt going to be like the 360 was on ebay. Since the PS3 is already so expensive I have a feeling that most people will probably not bid on it after $800 or so. Which leaves you with like a $100 profit after taxes,paypal and ebay fees.

I'm sure you'd be able to get $1,000 or more due to shortages and demand.

If I cared enough I'd camp out just to sell it, but I don't.

oh noes!@ i was thinking in my head this guy is stupid, so i typed stupid instead of student! but thats ok, i love middle aged men making the same joke at me over and over

 

[jfall]

that's what I like about where I live, no one here cares enough to camp out and get one. I could probably walk in the store anytime during the release day or a week after and pick one up

I will camp out for one, I really don't want a PS3, but selling it sounds like fun. Not on Ebay, but outside of Toys'R'Us on Xmas eve. I won't feel bad selling it to some chump for 2g's because they can't find one for their kids for Xmas, oh well.

I've never camped out for more then a few hours, so like people really go to a Best Buy and actually camp outside of it for days, while the store is open? Isn't that lotering? how stupid would I feel in a tent, durring a week day outside of BB while people are coming in and out of the store looking at me crazy.

Maybe I'll get one so I can do a video like that Xbox360 where they camped out and ended up smashing the ****** out of it.

death to Sony, and I honestly think with all their problems this year, PS3 will be lucky to see 150k at launch.

Sony would have to camp out outside my apartment for me to even consider buying their overpriced POS.

the 360's were going for up to $2K during the first week of release...there are some seriously spoiled @sshats in this country and their mommies and daddies won't have any problems in making sure little junior has his PS3 for christmas...heaven forbid all of the other kids have one and he doesn't...just imagine the ridicule he will endure at school...

god forbid a parent actually cares enough for their child to buy it for them. of course there are some spoiled kids out there that don't deserve it, but not all of em

there isn't a child alive who will die if they don't get a PS3, I don't care how much they believe they "need it"

any parent who spends $2g's+ on a 600 dollar console should be locked in jail. Can their kid wait a few months? It's not a case of do they deserve it or not, it's a case of you're a fvckin 'tard-o if you spend 3x plus on something just to have it at launch. And that's not factoring in I'll bet anything the initial shipment will all have issues that require the units be RMA'ed withing 6 months. A lot of kids have no clothes and would give anything to have a pair of sh!tty shoes be their only xmas gift. Any parent looking to Ebay a PS3 so their brat can be happy for Xmas should instead donate money to help need people, and buy the little sh!t a Wii and tell them to "shut the hell up and enjoy..."

and jerks to stop selling the only available PS3's on Ebay for 5x the price. :|

Ebay banned tons of people for doing it with the 360 and I hope they ban tons more when they do it with the PS3.

What was the reason ebay cited for banning these members?

not sure which ebay you were watching then...the only idiots who get banned were the people creating fake accounts to screw people who had legitimate auctions.

whether you agree with it or not, we live in a free market society. no one forces a gun to the head of people who are willing to pay 3 or 4 times the actual cost.

 

[QueBert]

ebay didn't ban any legit sellers, if they did I never saw it. I did see $400 systems going for 2,000 and even more. PS3's will sell for 3g's probably, because people are idiots. I would love to shake the hand of somebody who sells a PS3 on Ebay because they will be cleaning house. Anyone stupid enough to buy one for 3 times what it's worth deserves to be ripped off. People camping out for 3+ days are dumb in my eyes too, it's a fvckin video game system not the Fountian Of Youth for sh!ts sake.

oh yeah and the launch titles all suck... I wonder how many of the dudes who buy one on Ebay will always by the new GT and spend $950 bucks or whatever the silly cost will be to buy all the cars/tracks/upgrades online.
