PS3 for sale......

**manwithin** · 10-12-2006, 08:46 AM

I looked on ebay and it looks like the ps3 is selling for anywhere from 1,200 to 1,500 us. I preorder one at ebgames, I was going to keep it but now that I see those prices it looks like I'm going to sell it. I still think it's crazy for anyone to buy it for double the price but if people want to pay that much who am I to stop them

man, i got my hands on a 360 last early december, from target, and i was tempted as hell to sell it, but i ended up keeping it, becuase i got it for like basically 200 dollars off

**IronReload04** · 10-12-2006, 09:23 AM

when everybody is camping over night, about 2 or 3 weeks after the initial shock of release is over, their are ways to obtain it through retail without having to wait in rediculous lines

**manwithin** · 10-12-2006, 09:28 AM

Only this time there are about 100,000 less PS3 then there was xbox360 so the shortage is going to be greater

SVTMuscle* · 10-12-2006, 10:19 AM

luckly i've never gotten into video games to spend that much money on one, but im lookin foward to seeing screen shots

**Carlos_E** · 10-12-2006, 11:00 AM

I'll order one thorugh work and I won't have to wait.

SVTMuscle* · 10-12-2006, 11:00 AM

Will you have to pay for it?

**JohnboyF** · 10-12-2006, 11:05 AM

That is just retarded. I would rather invest the money in an Xbox 360 and new computer parts.

Yes I have to pay. If I want to use my employee discount I have to wait till after the holiday season to buy one. But I can pay full price and get it right away.

The retail price is $499 and $599. It's high for a gaming system but you're also getting a HD Blue ray DVD player. Considering you'd pay $1,000 for a stand alone player $599 ain't bad.

Yeah but will the DVD player suck like on PS2

**Flagg** · 10-12-2006, 01:04 PM

Why are people bothered about what the DVD componant on the PS3 or any console will be like? Personally I watch my DVDs on a DVD player and play my games on the PC or a console.

I am no going to buy a stand alone HD Blue ray player for $1,000. I will use the PS3 until the prices of stand alone players go down.

**JohnboyF** · 10-12-2006, 01:22 PM

Carlos go with HDDVD bro. Doing alot of product testing and reading reviews. If intrested i can send you the magazine where they compare Samgsung Blue vsToshibas HD

**Carlos_E** · 10-12-2006, 01:25 PM

Have you seen test results on the Sony?

**JohnboyF** · 10-12-2006, 01:38 PM

No not yet.. Is sony out yet?

Do u want me to scan you the article or give u mag title where they test out the blu-ray? just pulled it out

**Carlos_E** · 10-12-2006, 01:53 PM

I know the Samsung didn't do well. But I don't think that means the technology is bad. It could just be Samsung. That's why I want to see test results on other brands.

***Doc.Sust*** · 10-12-2006, 02:32 PM

carlos, explain to me what the stand alone dvd HD player is about.

**dan991** · 10-12-2006, 03:39 PM

It will be in stores 11-17-06, but if you don't get there on the 16th and wait outside you don't have a chance to get one....

**chuck89gt5.0** · 10-12-2006, 04:58 PM

what time on the 16th? Like around midnight and just wait? Damn I am going out of town the 17th!

**Carlos_E** · 10-12-2006, 05:30 PM

Probably have to camp out at least 24 hours ahead. Maybe more. It'll be a big line of geeks dressed in star trek costumes playing PSP.

So, how do I go about getting one.....

***Doc.Sust*** · 10-12-2006, 06:04 PM

Sure does. The DVDs look just like broadcast HD.

SWEET!

What TV do you have?

Not sure if any of you guys are interested but Tivo finally came out with an HD model. The Tivo Series 3. The damn thing is $799

but I'm getting one anyway.

***Doc.Sust*** · 10-12-2006, 06:10 PM

damn tivo in HD!!
i have a westinghouse , i got it for just about nothing, real real real cheap, i thought it was going to be junk and iwas just going to use it as a TV for my bedroom but it turned out to be WAY better than i thought, so i kept it for my living room.

**chuck89gt5.0** · 10-12-2006, 06:48 PM

So if I dont camp out and wait in line how long do you think it will be before they would be restocked?

Man I want one so bad. It has 2 cable card slots so you can record two shows that air at the same time.

**Motion** · 10-13-2006, 05:44 AM

Camping out for a PS3 is a waste of time unless your 1st or 2nd in line. They are having severe shortages and most stores will only have a handful. The are saying there will only be 400,000 nation wide. These things will easily hit $2k on ebay because they will be so rare. By March 2007 there should be plenty to go around according to Sony.

Hmm.... I just found a way to pay for a BIG GH cycle.

**manwithin** · 10-13-2006, 07:12 AM

HD Tivo has been out for two years, I paid $500 for mine last xmas and it has two tuners.... HR10-250 it was for directv only, now that new one is $800 plus $20 a month for service plus time warner wants $1.75 per cable card... so in the end if you have this HD tivo for say 5 years it will cost you...... $2210 plus that doesn't even include the cable service price..
