:shocked:<--clicky

I mean, they're not even selling anything other than a picture of a receipt and an empty promise!!! WTF is wrong with some of these people bidding on this crap??

Why in the hell would anyone pay that much for a gaming console!!?? Let alone pay much that for nothing more than a promise-note! :confused:

people are dumb

people have too much money to waste

people feel the need to have something before someone else does to make them feel good

people are dumb

I'm not interested in the PS3, but I have a question about these pre-orders.......

If I buy a pre-order from someone in another state, who's to say that a store in my state will honor it, since the pre-order was bought in another state? Make sense?

No that doesnt makes sense since the person is going to his local store where he got the pre-order then he will ship it out to you.

PS3 won't be worthwhile for at least half a year if not longer. Until then, let people sitting in the streets make free money off ebay (technically, it's not free, you wasted all that time, but ah whatever).

if you were a millionaire, then yeah, you have money to waste, but i highly doubt these people buying them are millionaires.

Hi, my name is Joe-Sixpack,

Earlier this year I left my two timing whore of a wife. I haven't seen little Billy since then and I'm not paying a dime of child support to that Mailman screwing wench. But I need to prove to Billy that I love him more than Mommy-a$$love so I'll do what I can to get him what he wants.

QFT. They don't become millionaires by being stupid. I wouldn't say the same thing about their whiny/spoil kids. :D

That along with the fact that todays kids need every freaking console available. When I was a youngin you were an NES guy or a Sega guy. None of this I've got a PS3 where's my Wiiiii whining like the kids of today.

The make sense part was directed at the clarity of the question. ;) But your answer makes sense. :) I wasn't sure if they were just selling your dumba$$ the receipt for the paid pre-order or what not......meh.....

Well I hope these fools at least have enough common sense to hold off on transferring the cash until the seller has the PS3 his his/her hands.

Why would someone pay $3,000 for a $600 system? I will never understand...

The PS3 is all hype anyway. I say there are problems w/ them overheating or disc-read errors within the first 2 weeks of the release.

Me thinks: bid on some PS3 pre-orders. Win the auctions. Don't pay. Them re-listing the auctions will lower the expected value A LOT! ..... profit?

This is my personal PLAYSTATION 3 Premium Package pre-order. I was 2nd in line for the store that is guaranteed to receive 8 units. The main reason I'm selling this is because I just got discharged (11/02) from the hospital and I need the money to help pay off my bill for the 5 night stay and for the medication, otherwise I wouldn't be so quick to sell.
