    Default This is for the idiots of IA...

    That would willingly spend over a grand for a PS3...or any gaming sytem for that matter. Just one question:

    Why?

    Why in the hail is it that fucking important to get this thing and spend that much money on nothing that will improve your life? Is it to try and be the first to have one? Will you get some sort of award? Will anyone even know? Will anyone even care? I just can't see the justification of spending that kind of money. Later, QD.

    some ppl got money like that

    even if they dont i guess its different tastes. Like your car for example... I'm sure you get this alot, "you have a decent paying job, why the fuck are you getting something that old and ugly".... Its a matter of taste ya know you'd rather spend your money on that.

    I get the same thing... with the 79 corolla.. my moms like get that out of the drive way or sell it, people are gonna think we're ghetto/broke. (this type of car is like all they have in pakistan pretty much, to this day... due to embargos/etc new cars cost like $300k and no old cars were able to be imported and the ones that are there are there...etc/etc )


    well side point, i wouldn't mind paying $$ for certain things others would find pointless... thats a matter of taste

    no offense should be taken, Q

    Mike, so why are they as you say "Idiots"? If they have the money to spend, and thats what makes them happy, why are they idiots? Do I agree with spending $1500+ on a video game system that in 3 months you can buy at cost? No, But that doesnt make them idiots, Thats what they want, if it makes them happy?

    Thats like doing anything to a car, we spend literally THOUSANDS in custom parts, body, paint, wheels, etc.....

    Get my drift?

    Its all the same.

    Im a business man. To me, purchasing one to make TRIPLE the profit before xmas, is smart.

    but paying $1500 for a system that has a MSRP of $699. Or, waiting in line for 3 days for a video game system, no. not me.

    I would LOVE to have one, im sure its going to be the next best thing since sliced bread. But i have patience, an i can wait

    But, if Metal Gear Solid 4 was coming out with it, i might have waited in line LOL.

    Ok. But I am talking about the people who are buying this for you to make your profit. The ones who are willing to spend $1,000 just to have it RIGHT NOW. Is that person going to die if they don't wait a couple of months for the "hype" to go down?

    That's a lot of confidence in a gaming system. I don't know that I could ever say that about one of these, lolol. Later, QD.

    I don't understand why paying 400+ is worth having it a couple of months before other people. Also, never know whats going down with the first gen. I bought a gamecube on release day (runs to this day) but I waited on the PS2 and Xbox....and therefore managed to avoid the overheating PS2 and the faulty drive xbox.

    like all the other console releases, since nintendo...i have no need to rush to be the first person to own any console, besides the prices have always been exorbitant. i'll wait til the guinea pigs purchase them and soon to be apparent bugs to be discovered and resolved. but, my brother has prepayed for one and i'll be with him to get it. i dont know, if you want it bad enough, gone 'head!

    I shall agree with QD on this one. To me it is stupid to wait days in line for a system that costs as much as a down payment on a car when in like 3 or 4 months the price will drop. You are paying more than what it is worth. I mean are people that boring and really have no life that they will spend thousands of dollars so they can sit at home playing games?! That is ridiculous to me. At least when I spend money on my car, my car get me places. Spending money on a game system, what can it do for you? But whatever floats their boats!
    THAT'S MY JAM!
