Sony PS3 Buyers Beware!

by **cartboy519** » Fri Nov 17, 2006 1:09 pm

Yeah i like consoles, but 600 bucks, i mean i remember when i bought my PS2 and it was 300 bucks and that was a lot. And ditto to maday and jimmy i would rather buy upgrades for my PC!

P.S. I would buy it if i had the money to buy a nice 1080i HDTV lol

It's the same darn thing happening that did with the 360. It's funny.. Over priced units for sale. Plus some defects.. Why don't people wait for a few months? The prices will most likely drop and the bugs get worked out.. Humans...

According to this article concerning the production costs Sony is losing a ton of money on each PS3 unit sold. How can that be? I know Sony has tons of money, but I guess they have some to give away.

They all do, except for the Wii which Nintendo has stated will be the first to actually make money on hardware.

They make the money back on software.

If they charged actual costs of making it, people would just buy a computer.

I heard someone was driving by a PS3 selling...where the people are waiting...and they did a drive by....I guess grand theft auto San andreas just didn't cut it for this guy...couldn't wait in line for the PS3 so he could enjoy it...lol :lol:

And these idiots who are paying 9000 for ps3....if i had that type of money I would just pay someone to go wait in line for me and pay him 600 for the console and when he gives me the ps3 give him like 1000 or something....i dunno but if he was an idiot he could run away with my money...oh well id get someone i knew to do it...but im not rich so i dont need to think about the technicalitys....lol

It is funny how the news is reported. I read that the drive by was done using a pellet rifle.

Nuck

Heck if I had $9000 to waste on a PS3, I would go out and buy the absolute best PC Rig running in the whole friggin' state of Texas, not to mention the US.

I could load up the rig with double EVERYTHING! :rotflmao:

by **jenky33** » Fri Nov 17, 2006 8:35 pm

why wait? the demand for them is now. in a few weeks you wont beable to get nearly as much as you could right now.

by **NightCrawler** » Fri Nov 17, 2006 9:27 pm

That is SO true......

If you're seriously spending 9,000 dollars on a console I bet that 9,000 dollars is ass wiping money to you. Rich people exist and people tend to forget that.

Or the people that didn't get them for little Johnny the week before Christmas and will pay even more for it.
