PS3 Survey

Professor S · 11-17-2006, 12:24 PM

I've been hearing rumblings and bumblings about possible PS3 defects and let-downs (http://www.penny-arcade.com/), but I wanted to know what you all thought about it who got one.

Anything to report?

the people here who got one have no intention of keeping it...they bought it just to sell it on eBay, preventing people who actually want to keep the system from paying suggested retail price.

as long as there are people dumb enough to spend that much extra. theres always going to be people doing that.

if people honestly cannot stand to wait untill they find one at a store, and need one THAT badly, then they deserve to spend double the price or more on it.

Yes, I understand how supply and demand works. Easy to make a quick buck, why not. Just tell that to the people who waited just as long in line who wanted to keep one for themselves, or give to someone they know as a gift, who now are faced to pay $3000 to the jerkoff two spots ahead of them in line if they want to be able to do just that.

Believe me, the people who are driving up the price deserve to pay just that. But not the people who tried damn hard to buy one at launch but got beat out marginally by a scalper. There's a reason scalping sports tickets is illegal...

the people who waited to get one, didnt and now will wait like normal people to get one at its real price. yes. they deserve one.

but im sorry, as long as theres morons out there buying em for this much on ebay. you'd be a fool not to sell it.

i just watched one on ebay, during its final minutes. over 100 bits on it, final price $5000.

many of the people selling im i bet were probably planning on keeping it untill they saw these goofs on ebay paying these prices. right now, getting over 2000 is almost guaranteed. who would keep it when you get get that for it?

plus, its as much sonys fault as it is the people buying and selling em.

I might get one in the summer when I'm working full time.

But until then, I'm content with my PS2 and DS.

Stood in line for 22 and a half hours and got a PS3 and so far I think its pretty good. Even if it has a problem with some of the older games not working on it. I think they will eventualy fix it. You can update the software easily.

Btw hi guys sorry I havnt been around for quite some time.
