Yet another wonderment in the world of the PS3...

[quickdodge®]

Seriously on the grand scale of things this playstation mess is small and not sure why it bugs so many. Maybe because its about regular poor or middle class people?

You are still clearly missing the point "of this particular post."

Why do you think it "bugs" me just because I think it's inane. Why does it have to do with the class of people?

Some things I can understand wanting to be the first to own or whatever. I don't understand what fame you will get for owning the first PS3. Lolol. But you keep refering to other threads instead of this one. Later, QD.

I was ready to spend some extra money till I heard about all the bugs in them, now though people are paying up to 4 grand and then the system is burning up and they are still stuck waiting on the next shipment of the system to come out. Makes no sense.

LOL I looked on Ebay this morning and there are so many on there, that people arent getting nowhere near thier Buy It Now prices. I saw a couple that were 2k and up but there were alot that didnt have a single bid.

[bdydrpdmazda]

thats cause so many of them are burning up.

[EJ25RUN]

One sold for $15,100 to some guy in europe! went from $9,000 to $15,000 in last minute.

retards.

Bet they didn't pay up. There are a lot of people who are either using their accounts or getting fake accounts just outbid everyone and then not pay up. They do this to keep people from ripping off everyone else. Later, QD.

15000 would do nicely to our cars, or hell even buy a new car

bump.

















retards.

[ahmonrah]

it's cool, i mean if people have the means and the drive to spend that kind of money, and in the name of capitalism, resell the purchase item at an inflated price. so long as there is someone willing and able to buy it, oh well....

look at this retarded shit...

Well, I wouldn't pay $600 for it just to keep personally, but the 4 I sold made me 5 figures.

I'll buy another one next year when they drop to half that.

[Mike Lowrey]

This just shows how many morons there are in this world. Why people gladly pay thousands of dollars for a $600 item is just stupid.

Stupid people need to die.

PEOPLE AGAINST
STUPID MOTHERFUCKERS!

What I find funny is that even some of the EB Games dudes around my house won't even buy the system. One dude said it's not worht paying $600 and $60 a game when there are only 13 games out for it. He said by summer the price will be down and we will hopefully have more games. I might consider buying in the summer, but right now I can think of a million things that I can use the $600 + tax + games + tax on.

I was looking through some of the rip-of.....er....I mean for sale threads and saw some comments that kind of got me:

A couple of comments at the $1,500+ prices were saying how good of a price that is or how great a deal that is. My question in this: How is $1,500 a "good price" for something that regularly sells for $600? That's not a good price at all. I don't see the "deal" you're getting. To be one of the tens of thousands of "1sts to have a PS3", $1,500 is a good deal?

This is the focus of this particular thread:

How is $1,500 a great deal for a $600 game system?

Later, QD.

supply & Demand. basic econimics. unless you can find a PS3 for $600...

supply & Demand. basic econimics. unless you can find a PS3 for $600...

This is where the answer lies.

Is $1500 a good deal on a PS3 in general? No, not at all. However, the fact that most children will be dying for this system will have the parents dishing out asinine amounts of money to have one and make their kids happy. So while $1500 may not be a good deal on a system that you could readily go out and buy for $600, the fact that they are not readily available will make families more than willing to pay $1500 as opposed to $3000+.

So, is $1500 a good deal in general? No, not really. Is it a good deal considering the circumstances of the holiday and lack of supply? Perhaps.

Wii just came out yesterday. I expect it to be the underdog system of the season. The fun controller and low price tag will make them a family fav.

yeah thats why i wanna get it. that controller seems like lotsa fun...

Is like @the car dealership they come out w/the Special Editon(Nissan) which they put a few options or add ons to the vehicle. They sell it at a higher price just to get people to buy the car. Then they come out w/the new model right after that. New Maxima,Altima,Sentra 2.0. So they sold you on the old then come out w/the new @around the same price that (SE) went for. So that they didn't have to drop the price on the current models to get them off the lot.

[dartingd]

i got an 06 se for 14k drive out...not bad to me...

[Ed]

Wait, did i miss something?

[dartingd]

oh and on the wii..i got twilight princess and the wii sports that came with it..it's an amazing system imho...i didn't expect the controller to work as well as it does! the only thing that has happened since i got it was the controllers started flashing and the system didn't recognize them last night..dunno what happened, but i restarted and made sure the connections on back were good, and it fixed it! no processor fryin here!

what about the "Power Glove"?

[Eurostunna07]

5K was the highest it sold at, by a real/legit serious bidder.

Power Glove was f*cking pimp! You better quit hatin'.

Virtual Boy, on the other hand, almost gave me cancer.
