LOL I forgot to post yesterday to save people the time to wait.. But yesterday I picked up a Battery charger at the Sony Store in Galleria and found out that there could not be any lines.. So whoever entered the Galleria store this morning at 5 in the morning had a chance to get a PS3...
Regarding HDMI Cables, FWIW: my friend recommended this site to me: http://www.monoprice.com/home/index.asp
No no no. Don't get me wrong. I have NOOOO problem with them if they brought their wives or girlfriends and got 4 that way. The quantity is not the point. The point is that I would have rathered see them finding another relative, spouse or friend to stand in line with them than to take their kids out of school for 3 days and have them brave the weather like that.
Hey I got stuck with the core system. If anybody with a premium wants to work something out let me know. I want the premium to own. The core I may sell I guess. Such a let down. Sigh...
Would be nice if my parents could afford a S4. What is your point? Are you implying Im a spoiled rich kid? Im sick of people b*tching and whining about every little thing when it comes to PS3. I don't recall hearing this much crap over other systems. If you really wanted one, stand in line for 2-3 days and get one. No point in complaining/crying/whining about it or the prices their selling for on ebay. If someone wants to pay $4k for a PS3, who cares? It's their money not yours. The 8 people in front of me were a bunch of rich kids. They had $400-$500 cell phones etc and came as a group. I have no problems with them or anyone else who might be spoiled because they waited the whole 3-3.5 days to purchase the system. The people I do have a problem with is the people who show up a few hours or a day prior to launch and expect to obtain one. You would think that people would have learned from the 360 launch last year to arrive at least 2 days in advance.
Yup I was asking the guy who was checking me out and I was like hey is that a playable ps3 demo? And he was like yup it is.. I said so when are you gonna start selling it and he told me same as everyone else on Friday.. And then I said well where is the horendous line ... and he said we actually started having one on Monday but Mall security kicked them out because they couldnt stay inside the mall when it was closed... I said so no lines!!!!!He said that is right first come first serve.. and Mall will open early on Friday at 5 A.M. So whatever door opens first in Galleria just run your A$$ off to the store.. I was like wow.. If only I was interested in getting a ps3 I would jump all over this little secret
i'm sure it's a great system but i already have it up on ebay. i'm happy with my 360 and the hd-dvd drive. anyways i can sell it now and pick up a "free" one down the line.
I think Im the only one who thinks that the prices of PS3's on ebay will drop to $2k-$2,500 very soon. Almost everyone purchasing one that I've talked to said their going to ebay it. Once everyone has their auctions up and theirs over 30k+ auction for PS3's, that should flood the market causing the prices to drop amirite?
For anybody who happens to be referring to me as a crybaby, I'd love to know why. I never ever ever ever ever had even the slightest inclination to get a PS3, so it's not like I'm pouting because other people got one and I didn't. I just don't like the idea of it all. All I did was state that opinion. Simple as that. I have no reason to believe that those who are reselling aren't generally great people. That's why I didn't go around slinging derogatory names at them (ie. crybaby). Now let's everybody kiss and make up. Minus the kissing.
If all of them get on ebay, it still won't drive the price down. That has no bearing on the price, because of the fact that there aren't any ps3's in the store. Until the second shipment, the prices will be the same around 2-3k
I don't think they come with component cables either, although I'm not sure. Linux (Federora Core 5 to be specific) seems to be up and running (sort of) on the PS3: Seems like it takes forever to install though.
I got one. I'm no gamer, but I went to target around 11am to get dog food. As I was checking out, I noticed a mother and kid, probably around 14-16 year old kid returning one and she was b****ing him out. I walked over and come to find out the kid had stolen her credit card, waited in line and bought one. So she returned it and I scooped it up right there at customer service. Its a 60g or whatever and damn this thing was expensive, I don't know a whole lot about them but i'm going to give it to my little brother as an early xmas gift cause he loves to play games and stuff like that. I guess I got lucky from after reading this thread.
There's nothing wrong with people getting these things and selling them for 3-5 times what they paid for it. It's actually stuff like that that built this country. lol. More power to 'em! What does suck is this : I tried for about 5 minutes to buy one and I got the stupid thing sitting in my shopping cart, but I can't check out. Now that really sucks. Oh well, no biggie... guess I'll wait for the next batch to ship. Congrats to those of you who did get one and hopefully you either have a lot of fun with it or sell the sucker(s) for some good profit. God Bless America.
So what? I'm sick of people who b*tch and whine about what people post on a forum...like they have no right to say anything except that which conforms to what you want to read. I'll stick to my opinion about who the morons are...and no...it doesn't just apply to the PS3. It applies to any gaming console. Your complaining about people b*tching and whining with some of your own b*tching and whining...so your point is lost.
