    I wish my credit was better, I'd go get a bestbuy credit line, have a few of my bro's stand in line Fri morning w/ me, since it's 1 per customer, and get like 5 of them, lets see $600 for the 60mb one, times 5 consoles is $3000, if you could sell all 5 at lets say $2000 each, probably more if you wait till' Xmas gets closer, thats $7000 you've cashed in on in a matter of no time, for doing nothing more but standing in line w/ coffee and throwing it on ebay

    I could have pre ordered one. But I didn't feel right about selling it on ebay for a grand.

    If you just give it some time you will get one for a normal price. I would hold off till march or so.

    I am not waiting in line for anything and I refuse to pay $600. I have no doubt that in a week or so I will be able to get them for like 300 off the back of a truck.

    a pre order isn't a guarantee. My sister pre ordered 360 last year in June and didn't get one.

    Exactly, people have been in line since the weekend. I was reading an article about a guy that quit his job and put his engagement on hold so he could camp out all week.

    There is such a shortage that they will probably all be gone by 10am Friday. Not to mention the stores that are opening at midnight the night before. Most of them will sell out in minutes. Most stores are only getting a handful. 400,000 nationwide.

    Yeah man. I came into work this morning and walked passed the Sony retail store and these idiots are out here already. Building security was out setting up the gates to keep these fuckers away from the entrance.

    I could see waiting 4 days in line for free gear but for a PS3???

    Well that is what me/2 other partners are doing right now, however, there has been a recall on the Ps3's right now. Apparently some of the Ion-Lithium batteries tend to overheat/explode...Way to go Sony lol, they are already predicting millions in losses this year because of that. They were schedualed for release the 17th, but I'm thinking it's going to be the end of the month or even beginning of December if they can't straighten this out soon.

    You have a link to that info? I haven't heard anything about that.

    I think you mean their Laptop batteries.

    I saw it on the local news last night, however apon reading through some websites that are into the gaming world. I found this:

    http://www.gamespot.com/news/6160304.html

    It says that the batteries in the wireless controllers may fail to hold thier charge for a long period of time. Other than that, I have found nothing. I still plan on to get my few I have waiting for me, and I'll know then if it's true or not.

    Be careful with the auction. The deposit does not insure that you'll get one.

    I dont see why people are willing to spend so much money on these things. In about 4-6 months i'll bet the price will go down(thats if they arent selling a ton of them). Its insane what people will do with there money these days.

    This is totally insane. I've never waited in line for anything. I guess I've just never been that desperate for something. I did put a deposit down on the new M5, but now that I've seen some on the road, I think I'm going to take it back and get the Quattroporte instead.

    Word!


    Idiots splurge on food and video games. That's what America has become. Enjoy!


    Sitting on your ass eating and playing a new PS3 = lots of sales for Sony!
