I am going to get one, but not one of the first few shipments. It isn't that I feel that something will be wrong with it; it is just better safe than sorry. Considering the first few games I don't have a real NEED for it yet either. I would like to play resistence, though.

well most people stand in line and double, triple or even quadruple the price they pay for them and put them on ebay and then use that money or buy one later.. me and my cousin are possibly going to do it.

I've always been a huge fan of the PlayStation as I bought the PlayStation the first week it came out and the same with the PlayStation 2. I've played the PS3 and I have to say that I'm disappointed with the graphics for how long they've put off releasing it. I don't plan on buying it until the price has gone down and there are plenty more games for it. My PS2 works just fine and I have plenty of games for it so no sense in paying $550 on something that has no games that interest me out for it.

I heard on the news that there are people who are actually traveling out to the east coast (to be one or two hours earlier than their own stores) and already waiting in lines, so they will be the first (or one of the firsts in america) to own one. What a bunch of no life dumbasses....

Someone is paying me, a friend, and a couple other people in my area to stand in line Thursday 10pm to Friday 10am at an electronics store so this guy can buy more than 1 and then sell them all on ebay. He's paying everyone $150, so, I'm trying to do it. But, there are some uncertanties about this like, 1) will he choose to not pay me, 2) will it be upfront, 3) what if I get there and theres already a long lineup of hardcore gamers, 4) what if I fall asleep and someone steals my line position, 5) will my nuts fall off from the cold lol, 6) How do I get home. I can't believe people are bidding on JUST pre-order slips, for nearly 2G :eek2: ! It says "FREE SHIPPING!", but like thats of any importance, how much does it cost to send an envelope through the mail? Of course I plan on buying PS3, in a couple years lol. I never had a PS1 but I've played it plenty. I hope the PS3 is so much of an improvement that it'll make PS2 look like a PS1 by comparison. Since it's so expensive I might as well wait for PS7 or something :huh.

I guess you have no choice but to learn to love it, but IMO I hope it has motion sensing like the Wii because this thing is F'in retarded. Atleast if I get mad and throw it it'll boomerang back to my hand lmao.

These guys are idiots. On e-bay they are selling the pre-order slips for about $1500. What the stupid *** don't know is that they still have to pay for the system. So these guys are going to be paying around $2000 for this. I would rather buy a PC with that money or put it into my quad.

Look at this one going for $1600 just for the pre-sale and all it is a receipt.

I also heard that e-bay won't let you sell your system on e-bay. After it comes out they are banning all ps3 sales, so I heard.

Guy's I'm sorry I posted wrong info. I just found this on the internet. They only have rules on the pre-order sales only. But you can sell them on e-bay once you have it.

I don't know where you found that pic but the real controller is the same as the dual shock, without the shock and the addition of motion sensors.

They bashed the X360 for not being fully backward compatible but guess what...

I just got back from stopping at a few spots to see what store will be the best bet to get one at. I ran into a family friend at one of the wal-marts and he had told me already that the store branches had already been informed of a compatability problem and even problems with the blue ray system. He also made it Very clear that the walmart stores will have no more than 12 in stock and superwalmarts no more than 20. He also mentioned Not to buy one right now, that he gurranteed me more will be in for the christmas season. His exact words were "there are gonna be enough to flood the market within a few weeks". I am wanting to get at least one, but every location states wide that will have any avaiable already have well over 20 people camping out, which i for one am not gonna do, but we'll see what goes with it.

After they sell them on ebay and triple their money you might not think they are such dumbasses!

naa there getting 20 at the least. theres like 70+ ppl on line.

11-16-2006, 05:28 AM
walmart sucks, got in line at 4AM this morning and I was the 6th person. The others ahead of me said they only were getting 4 units, and only 2 premiums. This apparently was true for all the walmarts around here, only 4 units and they were doing rain checks for numbers 5-10. They even printed a statement where they apologized for not having the 10 minimum which is what their flyer stated they would have.

What kind of pissed me off though was the guy who was first in line was a walmart manager and his wife was number 2. That's gay!!!

jrspawn
11-16-2006, 06:15 AM
Yeah, it sucks. The person i spoke too at walmart for all my info also told me Walmart actually had a "game plan" for the release. Even though they Know they were only getting a few systems each. They were told not to release that info and to keep the people waiting, So when the clock strikes 12:01 they would still have a mad rush of customers hoping they would still buy other gaming or other product.

Our Target store will only have a total of 6 or 8 consoles for sale. 4 or 5 of the 60G consoles and 2 or 3 of the 20G consoles. People were starting to line up today, there were around 8 people when I left and I believe that's all that they will allow to line up because they will not have anymore consoles.
