Looks to me like the PS3 shortage is over

Looks like the only thing keeping them from 'flying off the shelves' is the ridiculous sticker price.

Much sympathy to resellers who had hopes of becoming wealthy by flipping them at crazy mark-ups

Thing is, though, is that the systems were never out of supply. They hold back to cause hype and frenzy with the Xmas season here. Then, when holiday season is over, everything goes back to normal. Later, QD.

I didn't. The postmaster came. Later, QD.

I agree, they made many more than their advertised 400k total or whatever it was. It's all a marketing scam. The blueray does look sick as hell though. Buddy has a PS3 on a HD 37 inch LCD and I swear to god it looks 3D on his blueray talladega night (sp?)

Greedy bastards.

Sony issued a press release the wednesday after they hit stores saying they would have atleast 1.1 million systems in the stores by christmas. Thats why the EBay prices dropped so quickly the first time.

target had some, and by the looks of that, fry's probably had more than just that locked case.

it's just too much $$ for people to justify right now....anything that has limited supply on release will be the hot item that everyone wants and will pay butt loads for because they just want in on the hype... I figured after new years, no one would be able to hock them on ebay or here for that matter for a profit, but it looks like it will probably happen sooner.

i agree.. the price kind of kills it..

[ZEDEX32]

I can't believe that people are spendin, so much money just for entertainment, Sony, Wii, Xbox all that shit is not worth half the money they ask for. Just emagine how much you need to work to make that much money and this sick and rich fucks need to DIE!

[imbosile]

I'm really glad I sold mine a few weeks ago, I picked up an Xbox with 14 games for 110 bucks off of here

[ZEDEX32]

Just wait and see da price of these overpriced games in two months, and there is not such thing as shortage.

[ORGANIZATIONXIII]

yeah, there is no shortages at all..

I saw a 20 gb here, a 60gb there..


but you can flip a buck on ebay and find buyers in remote/rural areas of the country to pay those prices..

[JITB]

come out ot conyers and sell Wii's and PS3's make a fortune, i was in gamestop buying my nephew a xbox, and about 15 parents came in asking for a wii, and ps3, they all settled for the 360..lol

[ZEDEX32]

Shit men, I hear someone paid like $7,000 for Xbox 360 on ebay when it came out; maybe it was some celebrity.

[StupidBikerBoy]

LOL

Sold 4 on EBay the day the hit the stores. Then I got one for christmas.:lmfao:

They more than paid to finish my current project.:goodjob:
