PS3 Craze

i had no interest for the ps3 but after seeing a news article with people waiting days for it, makes me kind of want one. i had a ps1, but lost it, and i never got a ps2.

i dont know about camping out for a game console,but to purchase some justin timberlake tickets, i dont mind doing it :)

I have come to the conclusion from years of study that some people are just stupid...plain and simple. I work at a Super Target and there were people standing in line for 2 days straight...uhh. Is something wrong with these people's brains? First they only sent 500,000 copies to the entire United States so there were only 9 PS3 Consoles at S. Target. Why not wait until they fix some glitches or maybe come down on the price $100 or so.

Some make the claim that they might be buying the PS3 so they can sell it for more to other dumb people. The cycle of dumb continues. Maybe I'm being too hard on these people? :cool:

it's 600 bucks not 600,000. i'm sure most of us have wasted more than that away somewhere? if you add up the playing time involved, it's not that bad. the ps3 also has a blue ray player drive in it! the blue rays players alone go for 500 and up. i'll just wait a few months for mine:cool:


adam, if you get one, call me ROAD TRIP!:D

yeh probably

it's a topic that keeps being brought up on the radio...these guys keep calling in and saying "yeah i stood in line for 3 days. I paid 600, and now it's on ebay and the bid is close to 5,000"

It's business, it's smart. now i can't speak for the people who are spending 5k. If you can afford it, go for it. We can't imagine spending that much because chances are we cannot afford it. If you can afford it (or a $5,000 bp morph), then spend your money how you wish.

As my favorite radio personality (Jim Phillips) says, "it's the essence of capitalism, to turn it around and make a profit from it"...

Yeah true enough...and these people spending the $5,000 for it? I mean...it's supposed to have glitches and everything. Why pay so much for something that might break down on you. Plus I wan't to see what games come out for it before I even think about buying it.

Um Kavmon I never said it costs 600,000 re-read what I said. :) And you can get a console for 600 with 60 GB's and a console for 500 with 20 GB's.

Everyones perception of what "a lot of money" is is different.

Yes sir if I tell anyone how much I've put into my ball's they'd think I'm crazy. PS3 is cool I'll probably get it later when I have more time to play.

Hmm, it's interesting to me that someone would pay double (or more) of what something is actually sold for just to get it a month or two before everyone else can get it. Plus it's defective. In my opinion that's just not smart. "Patience is a virtue" :D

I agree. But here would be my concern; We know that production was rushed to get a release date before Christmas, so there are bound to be defective units. I think that even if $5000.00 was chump change to me, I would still feel like a horse's backside if I plugged it in on Christmas day and got nothing but a puff of smoke :(
