There have been 15 people sitting outside our local Wal-Mart since Wednesday night. They thought that it opened at midnight this morning to sell the PS3. I guess the management didn't feel like telling them that was only at the Super Wal-Marts and that they would have to wait until 7am.

I'll be getting the PS3, but since I'm not crazy enough to camp outside of a store since Monday to get one (WCBS, a news radio station in NYC, was talking about the hardcore gamers, a few of which had done that), I'll wait for a bit and hope the price goes down. If I have to, I'll get it after the holidays, and hopefully then it will go down a lot.

That's great :D ... although I've heard they're going for $2,000+ on EBay- should've kept it and made more money there.

Re: PS3 + WII... who was waiting or will wait???
To be completely honest, $600 for a PS3 is absolutely absurd. And I;m not even that impressed with the PS3's hardware and graphics, the 360 is a year older and personally, I think it's a better system. I even think $400 for an XBOX360 is still high, and all for a game. Also, I'm completely against getting profit for one after you purchase it. I understand that you put up $600 and get $xxxx.xx back for it and you've made good profit, but whatever floats your boat I guess. Technically, that's scalping, which in ticket sales you go to jail for...so why does that not apply to here?
On a side note, I knew a guy in college, who somehow bought 8 360's on launch day. within an hour of getting home, all 8 were on ebay and I believe each sold for 2k. For spending $3,200 up front he made $16,000 in profit, enough to buy himself a new car in cash. Even though that I'm against that...you gotta admit, that's a pretty good idea. Lucky guy... |

I think in general its a waste of time and money getting brand new systems. I am still thinking about getting a PS2.

I'm wondering how many of them are going to be 'lost' in shipping. I imagine there are more than a few hardcore gamers who didn't get their PS3 working at package sorting facilities.
