Some people really want the PS3, camping out more then a week ahead of time.

My brother camped out one time for something like that... not sure what it was... maybe PS2?
I don't get it at all... I bought a 360 about a month after they were released and payed a $250 premium for it on ebay... You couldn't pay me $500 to sit out infront of a store all night.

That's just insane! I love to see how much people pay for them on e-bay. People will be selling PS3s for at least a grand. I'm not paying 600 for a game system! I have over 40 games on my PS2 hard drive that should get me by till the system reaches a reasonable price.

Man they arent even dressed up. At least star wars fans have fun with it. I was lucky enough to grab a reserve at Ebgames for the PS3 and when I say lucky I just walked in there on my way to an appt and they still had some avail 
. $600 is a lot agreed but honestly do people who pay thousands of dollars to modify a car have any right to say its over priced? Most people consider us crazy so I guess its just what you into. I am hoping its a GOOD Bluray player too since that what makes it worth it to me. I save money and a High Def movie player and an upconverting DVD player all in one. The fact that Final Fantasy games will be on it aso is just a huge plus.

It just seems like game systems are starting to evolve into other things. I don't use my PS2 to watch movies. All I want to do when I turn it on is play a game! That's it, nothing more, nothing less. It's like cell phones these days. They take pictures, play mp3s and all the other useless ****. And they still lose signal, while you try to do the one thing you brought it for in the first place!!
I like the PS3, the 360 doesn't seem too bad either. But neither system has really wowed me enough to go out and buy one, at the moment.

It's unbelievable how stupid people are for being predictable. A brand new system comes out and they're in an uproar over it and want it, because everybody else wants it. They don't stop to think if these new systems are even worth buying right now. I mean, most of the games these new systems are coming out with ******* suck! I would understand their queer behavior if there were at least a few good blockbusters, but there's hardly any. If I were them, I would be buying a 360 instead. I already have it.

Insane shortage of PS3 for the Christmas season will send prices so high it's crazy. Just when you thought 1K for a 360 last year was bad... 
IO want to pick up a 360, but they're still a little high for my liking. I see them get down to 300 or less then I will do it. Kinda need to soon, winter's coming, and I will only have so much I can do to my car before I have to start buying more larts.. I'm gonna need a time filler LOL.

I didn't have the money for the 360 when it came out or else I would have been camping out too. I ended up getting it on new years day at like 3am after I left whitcomb's party. I drove about 250-300 miles round trip in the snow storm to get it. They didn't have any premium's so I bought a core system and then I bought the hard drive, remote and headset seperate and paid more than a premium by almost a 100 bucks but I couldn't wait. I know people are going to say i'm gay. Now I just got Gears of war which is amazing along with call of duty 3. Great games and BTW when I went to EB to pick up need for speed carbon on the 31st they were taking pre-orders for halo 3. I'm #1 on the list for the legendary version
