First of all I think all this bickering back and forth about what is a better is a console is a bunch of childish nonsense. Those of you that want to bash the PS3 go right ahead and bash it. As those who really want one are going to get one regardless of what you say. To say the PS3 is a waste of money is redundant as all these new consoles can be dubbed a waste of money. The 360 is just as much a waste of money as the PS3. Faktor talks about only fanboys are going to buy the PS3 when in fact I've never seen someone have their tounge so far up Microsoft's ***. I bet he's tickling Bill Gates colon as we speak.

All I'm trying to say is when you have 2 competing game consoles like these 2 the consumer wins. If there was only the 360 or only the PS3 they would charge alot more than they do right now. It is senseless to say one is better when the PS3 hasn't even been released to the public yet. I mean how can one say the PS3 will be outperformed when no one here has played a game on it yet. Truth is, they're going to be very comparable in game play and grphics and it will ultimately come down to what games a particular individual likes to decide which console to get. So stop the hatin' you will all get to choose what console you want regardless of what anyone says bad about either of them.

I mean FF12 for ps2 has some great looking CG scenes in the commercial, but how much gameplay is their really? none, because ps2 doesn't have the graphics nowadays to draw people in.

You do realize the PS2 is a last generation console right?? While we're at it lets make fun of the original NES for having poor graphics.//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/rolleyes.gif.c1fef805e9d1464d377451cd5bc18bfb.gif

You guys are hilarious.

i got the bs flag half raised on the fact that this store is even getting 60 ps3's

 

[k3v 10+ year member]

probably true...as eb games cant even fill their pre-orders...i read that they are only getting like 6 per store...i doubt best buy will have 60...not to mention that there are only 400,000 ps3 in north america being released on friday..theres not gonna be many

 

[iceteebone 5,000+ posts]

if we even get them in on realese day, it's gonna be 3 at most.

The local BB ad says in small print on the cover next to the 60gb version "minimum 20 per store", and next to the 20gb version "minimum 10 per store".

Looks like what he said could be true...

Only EB Games/Game Stop stores got the shipments cut. I've talked to Best Buy, they said theirs haven't.

I am gonna go tomorrow around midnight.. I think Thursday morning might be too late. I want to be first 10 in line (I am buyin 5, got 4 people to wait in line for $) so I am GUARANTEED one.

Keep one, sell 4

will they let u buy more than one

 

[Pistonsfan70 10+ year member]

No, thats why I'm paying 4 friends to go there with me. They are DEAD broke so they'll take $, but I am paying them about $200 now since we are going so early. $800 per ps3 is still NOT BAD. I figure once ALOT of people get screwed on EBay from buying pre-orders that got cancelled, people will pay more for PS3's IN HAND!

Plus I get one for my 65" LCD tv

you can charge a lot for shipping.. charge like $49.99 or $79.99 for shipping.

 

[Pistonsfan70 10+ year member]

Yeah, but I've been looking at ALOT of auctions and the more popular ones push free over night shipping. If I get over $1600 for them (as long as there aren't bigger idiots than me there before midnight tomorrow, I WILL) I will just ship them for free over night.

 

[faulkton 5,000+ posts]

just get a couple games with them, and offer free overnight shipping for the bundle.. with a bin for $1699.

 

[Pistonsfan70 10+ year member]

Games are a way to go but I'm gonna stay away from BIN's....

Go look at complete auctions for ps3's and start from HIGHEST first. Some idiots pay 6-7 grand!!!! With the shortage on RESERVES (ALOT of pissed of Ebayers) I'm gonna just do auctions. Madden will be the only game I buy on release I am just DYING to see a video game in 1080P....

This is going to be a great weekend (potentially)

Ps3's..and MICHIGAN FOOTBALL!!
