PS3 - So who's getting one?

    I'm a big Xbox fan, but if Sony comes out with some good games, I might think about getting a PS3 down the line. $500-$600 isn't cheap though. So who's hyped up about this system coming out?

    I'm buying one in Febuary or March once all the glitches are out and fixed. I'll be buying the one for $600. I drove past best buy and circuit city tonight, best buy had about 20 tents setup with double of that many people and circuit city had a few tents with about 10-15 people.

    madness....what are they thinking that every store is going to have 50 units???

    I bet even the "big boys" would be lucky to have 1/2 that...

    From what I've read and heard, some stores are getting any where from 3-20 units depending on the population. In the past few hours I believe 3-4 gamestop/eb game and 1 best buy store have been robbed at gun point for the ps3's mostly in california though but the best buy was in texas that got robbed.

    What I hate the most but alos understand the point to it, and that's 75% of these people buying one are going to put it up on ebay to make a $1400-2400 profit.

    Exactly. With 8 Power PC cores and the Cell processor, this is going to make one sweet computer... plus you are able to stick in any hard drive you want instead of the stock drive. 300GB PS3!

    My cousins are waiting in lines since 1:00 pm (how stupid ?) near a Futureshop store , i think they are going to give only 12 pieces .

    And As :

    It's True , it's the only thing they are willing to do , selling it on ebay ... and if it dont sell ... just play with it for 1-2 weeks and return it to the store lol

    I heard that there are long lines already for people to buy the PS3, or probably a better place to get is in EBAY.

    I'm working my ass off to get this fucking playstation 3!! I even had to work some magic with mall security....I still have 6 hours before I will know if I'm getting one or not though! But I'm trying super hard! And most stores here only have 2! Yes 2.

    All for eBay of course! $1400-$2400 would be soooo sweet right now :)

    Argh. I'm so bummed. I'm definitely not gonna be able to land a PS3. I had the most ridiculous day and basically kept making mistakes one after another and not seizing opportunities. Damn it.

    I offered people waiting in line $600 just to leave so I could have their spot and they wouldn't take it. They werent even putting the things on eBay they just wanted to play them. VIDEO GAMES ARENT THAT BADASS!!!

    I was gonna put the profits towards a down payment on a car too since I need a newie! ARGHHHHHHHHH!!!
