Anyone going camping?

For the PS3?

If you are which system are you getting the 20gig or the 60?

Turd Ferguson · November 15, 2006, 08:36:48 AM

Excuse me for not being a huge gaming nerd...I'm a bit behind on the info...but... I played a PS3 at target 1.5 weeks ago. Are they in the stores, but not for sale yet?

That seems weird to me.

well i don't think that you are going to have a choice on the 20 or the 60 gig being that only the 60 gigers have been shipped to the states. And no, I am not going to camp for one for two days to spend 600 bucks on it, i will just get another ps2 and wait for the price to come down ...

Boo, i thought this was gonna be a camping thread. only time I ever camped out to buy something was for some Grateful Dead tickets...

PS3 does look pretty cool tho...

buleray thats the only reason I would get one right now. But I'm not blueray disk are just too expensive, I was just wondering if people were going to camp out for one because I went to Bestbuy to buy some dvd's last night ( lois and clark 4th season! ). And there were signs telling people that if they started camping before 10 pm on wendesday ngiht then they would be escorted off the premisis.

on top of that I'm disappointed in the launch titles. I mean come on no ff? wtf?

You can spend $3000 on a computer and not get one that can do what a PS3 can do in terms of graphics. The bus speed is something like 8x that of PCI-Express.

If anyone's interested... I'll do the camping, you provide food/cash for the PS3, and a cut of the profit if you ebay it... or just let me play it!

Sadly, I still haven't touched an xbox360, even though I know several people who have them..

That's why we buy it, and then ebay it for a massive profit... use the proceeds to fix the GS!

blue05twin · November 15, 2006, 04:32:54 PM

You want to do it? I figure they sell for $600. Whatever we get from ebay we split after the $600.

So lets say we sell one for $1200. I get back the $600 and we split the other $600 50 / 50?

Hmm $300 is not much money to go through all that trouble. Who know's maybe it would sell for more. Either way let me know pm me if you really want to.

NiceGuysFinishLast · November 15, 2006, 04:49:01 PM

Hrmmm... it's tempting... and I don't have class until Friday afternoon.... $300 may not be much to you... but to me... man, that'd pay for a lot of repairs to the bike!

On the downside... it's REALLY crappy outside...

I remember seeing an ebay auction posted on another forum the day that the Xbox 360 came out, it was already at $15,000 USD with a few hours to go

Turd Ferguson · November 15, 2006, 08:54:28 PM

I remember when the X Box came out and some guy had an ebay auction with the title of "X Box Box" and the auction stated VERY CLEARLY that it was only for the retail box that the X Box came in. He even had pictures of an empty X Box box. The winning bid was like $200 and I laughed my ass off. There were like 235,208 bids.

Silly kids and their games!
