That is just ridiculous... 2000+ dollars? I thought a PS2 for ~1000 was too much when it first appeared on ebay. Don't people realize that 3 or 4 months after launch, you have a 2000 dollar ps3 while all your friends will have 600 dollar ps3s and they are the same. Who looks stupid? The guy with a ps3 on the first day or the guy with 1400 dollars left over a few months later?

Personally I'd wait a few months and save myself that huge lump of cash.

I would also but there are always those parents that must but what little Timmy wants for Christmas or he will tear down the walls and hit the cat.

Some people have more money than they know what to do with. This is just one example of how you can help the get rid of that extra cash.

Ah yes Timmy must have his shinny new toy. Parents should never let their kids control them like that, it's disgusting. Makes me wonder what these kids will turn into when they grow up.

Ummm no. Making your kid happy isn't disgusting. If you are worried about your kid becoming a spoiled jeebul, you should think a little more. Its probably many other things that make you a bad parent rather than buying a toy for him/her.
