I cant beleive people get so crazy over a stupid ass game system. I would be happy with an xbox. The newest thing I have is a gamecube lol. Unlike a gamer, I like to stay physically fit and non-emo :X

I take it they didn't read ebay's policy on this round of game systems then? They have to have 100 feedback with a 99%+ score and they can only sell one. Looks like your buddy has some extra PS3s at home now.

they all have the ebay scores...and the guy that bought 5...he has 3 ebay account he can use...his, his dads and his brothers...then he can sell the other 2 locally

Re: who all got the ps3?
 
He owes me $50 for the oil lines I bought from him back on September 4th. I gave him a couple months and patiently waited for them but he had some problems getting the drain fitting and then lost the feed line... I offered to just buy the feed line but it's taking ridiculously long to get anywhere with that so I would just like the $50 back...

The ones we have are also for resale. No way in hell I'd pay $600 for that just to keep it. They come with ------- composite cables on a "high definition" premium package, wtf? I'll stick with the firmware hacked xbox 360 and burnt games...

TurbodEG 11-17-2006 10:24 AM

Re: who all got the ps3?
 
well i have the feed fitting...i'm trying to get it back to him

Re: who all got the ps3?
 
those ebay rules only apply to pre-orders.. not if you have it in hand..

Where is this stated? I thought you had to have like 50 positive feedback to pre-sell, not to actually sell the unit once you have it (which today would be the first day), you could sell it with any feedback...

because if it's 100 feedback, my buddy is stuck with a ps3 :P (I don't mind, though)


EDIT: ^^ Just like Ricky101 said... that's what I was thinking

TurbodEG: I don't think he has a feed line, so I would just prefer he give the money back. It's been way too long.

Yeah, the "rules" only apply to the pre-sales. Not the actual system. People are crazy about these things for some damn reason. I had people offering 1800 and 2000 cash for one. One guy paid $400 for a spot in the line. Thanks news for hyping it up!

Re: who all got the ps3?

I don't see what the big deal is, computers have been out for years.

Exactly. PC games rock so hard. I'd rather build a computer for 600 dollars (which would kick the PS3's ass, and be upgradeable), then buy that piece of junk.

That's all I play. Upgradable, versitile, better control in games using a mouse, better graphics, etc.

I could care less if people think it's for "geeks"... it's just better.

And some of the computers a few years old are better gaming systems.

I encourage everyone to do what I did - submit a best offer to the gentleman of $100.

Re: who all got the ps3?
 
I just saw some mexicant as I was walking to my house with a PS3 in a black trashbag. I should have jumped him. I could use $1000.

Jorsher 11-17-2006 02:25 PM

Re: who all got the ps3?
 
My roommate suggested that we take the ps3 out of the box and just put something with some weight to it (open from the bottom so it still looks sealed) then drive by a store and sell it to someone for a "great deal" of about $1000. Unfortunately we have morals.

Re: who all got the ps3?
 
Just so you folks know, this piece of ---- comes with only composite cables. WTF?!?! You would think that a "premium" system that's touting "full hd" for $647 would come with at least component, and maybe even composite too for the noobs.

http://upload.jorsher.com/files/jors...nd/friends.jpg

I haven't even hooked it up to the tv. It'll just piss me off without hd... The buttons on it are pretty damn cool, they dont even look like buttons, nice and touch sensitive blah blah

Re: who all got the ps3?
 
good thing they decided not to use that gay boomerang controller, xbox controller is still better by far. at this point the graphics arent much better on ps3, but im guessing it'll start getting better as they utilize the blue ray disc more.

People arent payin that much for them just like most ebay auctions of that kind fake bidders


Market value is proably in the 1200 buck range for someone who would actually pay for it
