Who all got one?

**firmhonda** · 11-17-2006, 02:26 PM

I was curious as to who all roughed it out to be the first to have a Playstation 3.
After 2 nights in the 40 degree range sleeping on concrete outside of Target, I now have 2 Playstation 3's. They will both be on ebay soon.

Anyone else??

What size HD did you get?

lovin_it06 · 11-17-2006, 02:38 PM

ebay will only allow you to sell one. you also have to have a very very high feedback rating. they came out with that news this mourning.

PS3 looks good,but the high price and low supply is going to hurt Sony in the long run. So Sony=teh suck and the reason the Nintendo wii is going to be $230 bucks is because it has gamecube like graphics. So ill stick with getting the x360 anyday.

**jasonandre** · 11-17-2006, 02:47 PM

What will hurt Sony (indirectly) will be the mass of people selling theirs on eBay for astronomical prices. I'm not crazy...I'm fulling aware of supply vs demand, but this will only put bad tastes in everyone's mouth. They should have just held back the release date until production was ramped up to normal.

well me,girlfriend,brother,and my pops all got one of the 60 gb ps3 and plan on selling 3 of them. just recently sold one on ebay for 2500. and plan to sell 2 more and just keep one. call me crazy or what ever but my profit will buy me my megan coilovers.

**firmhonda** · 11-17-2006, 03:22 PM

I got 2 60 gig'rs.

I personally think the only way the ps3 won't flop is the crazy loyal people that will stick with it through all the failure. The demos at every store I went to ALL froze within minutes.

As for the user feedback rating, I have a friend that runs a business that is half ebay, so I'm good on all that. He has a 99.3% feedback. As far as ebay only allowing you to sell one, that's not true. You can only list one at a time, but you can sell as many as you can get your hands on.

GOT A FEW---LUCKY ME!!!!---2_ 60GB AND 1_ 20GB. gONNA KEEP ONE 60GB MODEL, AND SELL THE OTHER----FOR SOME REASON ONLY 1(60GB) CAME WITH RICKY BOBBY-----THE OTHERS DIDN'T. WENT WITH A FRIEND TO GET ONE EXTRA, ALREADY HAD 2 WAITING, i TRAINDE THE MANAGER ABOUT 3 YRS AGO WHEN HE WAS A LOWLY CASHIER AND I WAS 2ND KEY-LESSON 4 TODAY KIDS-NEVER TREAT ANYONE FOUL WHEN YOU HAVE A POSITION OF POWER, YOU NEVER KNOW WHEN ROLES WILL BE REVERSED-(STILL HAD TO WAIT 5 DAYS IN LINE WITH IFfy WEATHER). aFTER i SELL THE OTHER 2 WILL HAVE DOWN PAYMENT MONEY FOR THE CIVIC Si.

PS---I SEE ALOT OF PPL MAKING "PS3 DEMO KIOSKS FREEZE UP" STATEMENTS. IN THE STORES I WENT TO HER IN S. FLA. THE KIOSKS WERE NOT RUNNING ON PS3 HARDWARE....IN FACT THE PS3 IN THE KIOSK WASN'T EVEN PLUGGED UP(NOT EVEN THE POWER CORD) AND THE VIDEO DEMO (THAT DID FREEZE UP CONSTANTLY) WAS RUNNING ON A STANDARD DVD PLAYER....CHECK IT OUT NEXT TIME YOU GO TO THE PS3 KIOSK IN YOUR NECK OF THE WOODS.

I tried........but the stores around here didn't get many at all. I wanted to sell it on eBay........the games and system don't look great to me. I just want a Wii and Zelda!

got 3, going to hold on to 1 20GB and sell the rest. Don't comment on the rug either.

***Special Ringpop*** · 11-17-2006, 05:47 PM

With all due respect, I think getting three is kinda greedy.

I waited hours for a PS2, and I got the first one in my county, but I dunno...I can see where the profit comes in, but so many people are doing this for profit only, and not to play it...I guess I'm a hypocrite, I'd do the same thing in your shoes, but man, I dunno, something doesn't feel right lol.

my bad n/m

***airportguy770*** · 11-17-2006, 06:00 PM

Its amazing how fast these things are going on Ebay, and also how much people are willing to pay for them. I'm not to much of a gamer, mess around w/ my Xbox every now and then. But my question is why would people pay 3-4 times the orginally price for one of these things? I know there a hot item but damn. Props for everyone making a killing of these. Make it while ya can.

06CivEXJon · 11-17-2006, 06:13 PM

Meh gimme an Xbox360 and my gaming PC anyday!

How did you get 3? I thought the stores were being really strict on 1 per customer.

And I hate your rug.

**2fast4u2** · 11-17-2006, 07:57 PM

This is not a for sale thread, so don't even think about asking!
