Brian Posted November 14, 2006 Share Posted November 14, 2006 I'll be waiting a few years when the price drops. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Queen Prawn Posted November 14, 2006 Share Posted November 14, 2006 Brian wants one, but will not pay that price. He said his PS2 will do until the prices come down or he can score a used one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He said his PS2 will do until the prices come down or he can score a used one. Good idea. I plan to do the same. My ps2 works fine and I don't want to take out a small business loan for a gaming system that isn't even as powerful as my computer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IlliniKrush Posted November 14, 2006 Author Share Posted November 14, 2006 I'm considering attempting to buy one and then selling it, seems like they are going for a ton. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These gaming prices are ridiculous. Â I wonder when the price will drop and how much. Â QUOTE(Tony82087 @ Nov 13, 2006 -> 09:40 PM) BTW, isn't it a bad idea to by a system when it launches? There usually seem to be bugs in systems when they 1st launch, and they usually work on the kinks after a few months. It is, but the people who want it don't care.

Its gonna be hella hard though. I wish I didn't have work cause than I would camp out earlier and make 100% sure that I'd get one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmm.... perhaps I should get in on this plan. Ya, it is an easy 1000 buck profit, imo. Could be even more. All in staying up/camping out for a few hr's. That said people are gonna probably have to get in line pretty early to get it. I've hired someone to wait in line for me before I get off work (for free too, lol....its the beauty about having friends owe you a favor) to help improve my chances.

sox4lifeinPA Posted November 14, 2006 Share Posted November 14, 2006 I have this really cool invention called a "PC" that allows me to do everything this "PS3" you've described does... plus it comes with free naked ladies... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rowand44 Posted November 14, 2006 Share Posted November 14, 2006 (edited) I'm going to buy one just to sell it as well. Still trying to figure out the best place to camp out for one and how early.

Â there is a reason that consoles make so much money, and im pretty sure your PC cant play games without a crazy amount of lag that are capable on the ps3/xbox360.

DBAHO Posted November 14, 2006 Share Posted November 14, 2006 I'd buy the XBOX360 when the price comes down a little more, just before Halo 3 and GTA4 are to come out.

But I've always preferred the console over the PC.  As far as the PS3, I plan to buy it for the new Final Fantasy and because they are remaking FF7 with the revamed gameplay.

knightni Posted November 14, 2006 Share Posted November 14, 2006 I think people are overestimating the interest in the market for the PS3. Â The number of "brow-beaten" moms and dads buying will be a lot less with that $600 price tag. Â Two-three hundred bucks for a system is easier to drop down for the average parent than $600. Especially with many stores eliminating lay-away. Â Also, I predict that the secondary market could be tougher in the turnaround than many of you who are looking for the fast buck, think.

I just saw an add for it the other day, and it looks like it's the real thing...cartridges and all. I may have been wacky though. I know they have the version that has the games built into it (console and all), but I am pretty sure there is one with the cartirdges.

southsider2k5 Posted November 14, 2006 Share Posted November 14, 2006 Yawn. Maybe in a few years, but the whole $600 price tag, plus artificial scarcity equals no interest from me. My PS 2 works just fine, thank you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SnB Posted November 14, 2006 Share Posted November 14, 2006 bought a 360 over the summer and love it to death, so no ps3 for me. Â I also had to buy a 2nd ps2 after my launch one died about a year into it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Palehosefan Posted November 14, 2006 Share Posted November 14, 2006 Not that it's a huge price difference, but you can get a 20GB PS3 for "only" 500, that's what I'm going to go with as soon I sell either my car or my fiancee. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
