Not to rub it in but...I am a PS2 buying master.

[StageLeft]

3 nights ago without any pre-order I went and picked one up, a friend got one last night from the same place, then today my gf's aunt needed one badly for Xmas and could not find one anywhere and I hooked her up too.

You guys in the states have it hard

BTW its zellers and for the standard $450 CAN

 

[Mday]

whatever!

i don't even want one...

They're fairly easy to come across here too. Target got a shippment in last Monday night, and they still had them on Wednesday afternoon when I was there

i'm thinking about picking up a few from Zeller's then selling them on E-B@y for some extra money

That's insane, paying $450 for a game console! :Q

That is just as stupid as when I payed over $320 for a 2.1GB 4500rpm Seagate HD.

The only video game (ie, on a console system) I've actually gotten into and played all the way through, is Final Fantasy 3 on the Super Nintendo. With any other game I lost interest rather quickly, unless it was just some racing game, in which case I'd play when someone else could too, which is when it would be fun.

Aside from that, the only game I've played a lot is Starcraft. That game rocks! Too bad this P83 is just a tad too crappy for me to tolerate playing on it.

RSI,
a P83? ouch... my friend played StarCraft all the time on his P100, even though it was mind-numbingly slow

personally i don't know why people love consoles so much... i have a need to tweak my box's, and consoles just don't have the same appeal as computers

I paid $299 for the original Playstation.. that was the going rate when it first came out. I do feel stupid now, though!

<< That's insane, paying $450 for a game console! >>


That's $450 CANADIAN, dude.

 

[ManSnake]

Which is about $300 USD! Same as here in the states!

 

[FrogDog]

Exactly!

RSI is Canadian.

Ariel here on the forums is looking for one for her husband (as a Christmas surprise). If anyone could hook her up, she would be MOST GRATEFUL!

 

[pen^2]

a well configured p100 should handle starcraft pretty well provided the maps arent unreasonably huge starcraft cries for more ram! 32megs isnt enuff lan games... 64mb is bare minimum
