$1,300. Pay double for an already expensive machine. How bad do think the craze will get? http://cgi.ebay.com/Sony-Playstation-3-PS3-System-Console-60GB-Pre-Sale_W0QQitemZ320045072579QQihZ011QQcategoryZ62054QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

I saw somebody selling pictures of the graphics from X-Box. I think they were going for around $200. I'm too honest for my own good...

Pfft...$1300, plus a trade in, would get me a better car.
Anyone who isn't waiting for the PS3 to drop in price is an idiot who deserves to be seperated from his money.

No, see, there's plenty of money to be made here by the smart investor. It's all at other people's expense, so I would never do it myself, but it's still money there to be made. If you want it.
anyone here read VGcats?
they had a good comic concerning the price/availability of consoles:

Maybe it's scratch and sniff?
Look at it this way. If people are prepared to pay that much, they won't mind the $500 that Sony is charging, and if Sony sell enough of those, they'll cut prices quicker.
Long live fools with money!

Unfortunately, quite a lot of those idiots don't actually spend their own money, but make their parents' lifes miserable until these have to waste their hard-earned savings for this stuff.

But the release date is nov11 isn't it? There is still time to get in line.
Cannot think of a name

Is that $1,800 just for the place in line, or for the machine itself? Because when I saw people selling pre-sale or whatever bids on the Lotus Elise it was just for the position in line and on top of that they had to pay the price of the car. If after the $1800 the buyer still has to pony up $600...goddamn. I mean, I want one, too, but I can wait a minute. It's not like the thing can give blow jobs or anything...(well, even at $1800)

Whats wrong with these people? You bid that much just to get the gaming console first? What a waste. Video games are fun, but its not one of life's necessities... (gawd!) :eek:

Problem is that the PS3 is going to be around $200 more than the XBox 360 and thats without an internal hard drive for storage. Seems like a waste of money to me. that and the PS3 hasn't even shipped yet, so i don't know how these people on E-Bay are selling them.

Insert compulsory joke about it coming with a hard drive.
