miguel and i picked up our systems last night, but i havent got a chance to play it yet since i had to get up early for work. man my eyes look like JVGs. does anyone know if the units come with HDMI cables? i see it listed on the output, but dont know if the system comes equip w cables. id like to pick up this cable on the way home from work if necesarry. thanks!
I don't believe HDMI cables are included. Just regular component cables. You might want to check the box though if you haven't left for work already.
I kinda feel bad for people who stood in line for a long time and didn't get one. But to see them rant and rave about scalpers make me laugh. This is a total luxury item. It's not like it was a bread line. Give me a break.
ok, then next question, should i go to Frys and pick up the cheapest HDMI cable, or is this something I shouldnt skimp out on and by the best quality product available?
True that. The smart bird gets the worm. And you know, if you haven't considered selling your PS3 (if you got one), you should go to EBay and check out the prices. Is a couple months of playing some crummly launch games worth $2,000+ in profit? If I had any idea of the staggering prices these things would command, I would have reserved a PS3 at as many places as possible months ago.
PM me a price and we can talk haha. we prefer to sell it locally rather than shipping it anyways. A guy came up to us this morning as we were putting away our tents offered us $1500 and we respectfully declined. That should help to see what we're looking to get for it.
I'm not interested in buying it. I was hoping you were going to keep it/them so I could give you kudos. I had a feeling that would your answer though. And I don't want to hear anybody telling me that I shouldn't be bothered by resellers. I am. I do see both sides of it, but in the end I just don't like it. End of story.
Well, I suppose I'm a couple of months away from getting a PS2 now. I refuse to buy new consoles until the next gen comes out.
fatty what the hell is wrong with you? you don't wanna drop $3k on a video game? GET WITH THE TIMES man!!!!!!!
Bleh. Ride Racer 7 blows. I don't want to go in detail why it sucks, but I would rate it a 5 out of 10.
Yeah, I actually wanted one so I can play it, not to resell, but this is a free market society we live in...Money talks, BS walks, as they say... My boy is getting a ps2 from his mom, which for the price, you can't beat...He has and I still have a Dreamcast...I have an xbox at home that he plays when he comes over...I'll probably get a 360 for xmas...
hey i have no issue with you being bothered by resellers. none whatsoever. what i AM bothered by is why you would give me kudos if i had only kept the machine. i am not looking for a pat on the back for camping out and reselling it either by any means. it's just my belief is that if i, a potential reseller, would want to wait 36 hours in the cold for a ps3, why couldn't a die hard fan that wants one to play do the same? me and my friends were in line behind two brothers that brought their 8 year old kidS along just so that they can try to get FOUR of them (they were going to charge two and give the kids cash for the other two). I have no problems whatosever if they got it for their kids. But when the store manager came out and told them that they couldn't get 4 but can get 2, those two brothers started complaining and whining and crying like no tomorrow. Mind you, these guys looks like they have regular career jobs and didn't need to wait in line to resell these things (because I know they are). Now THAT is tacky--taking their kids out of school for 3 days just so they can try and get more systems. I want a PS3 of my own. Really I do but if a market is there and the demand is there, why wouldn't you sell it? Is it because one cannot wait 3 months until the next shipment arrives?
It is absolutely amazing what people are willing to pay for one of these. It just shows how screwed up priorities are in the world. Whatever the excuse is for paying $1500 over the regular price of one of these, it's not good enough. I have no problem telling anyone buying at these prices...YOU ARE A FREAKING MORON!
People were paying $1,500 to over $2,000 for 360's. Whats the difference? I didn't keep up with the 360 launch, so I don't know if we had this many whine babies as well.
Yes, it might be the mean thing to get 4 PS3's, but its just how the world works. Do you criticize a doctor who studies 10 years and now makes alot of money? No. These people waiting in line are trying harder than those not waiting in line. This is how life works, and those that complain are communists!
