Link is for a PS3 that someone pre-ordered. Only a crazy person would pay that much.

How much is that in us dollars ? I sold my paid for ps3 pre-order for $2k on craiglist and that was cheap I got a ton of emails about it about 70 emails in a 2hour span before it was removed. Of course about 60 of em were hate mail. I have a second ps3 pre-order with $100 down on it,it might have to go too. Its supply and demand, at least thats the way i think of it.

Why do people waste so much money just to have a PS3 a bit early? It's not going to change their lives or anything....(for the most part)

I have no idea, Even when i listed my ps3 I wrote that if they waited 3 months then can pick one up retail,or by mine for a premium now. The guy you bought mine said it was for his son for christmas. My original goal was to wait till i got it and put it on ebay, but on CL i saw all these people trying to sell there pre-order spot for $2k but they only put $100 down so i put a reply up there and sold mine and since i need the money for the tax~man i have no problems. the second ps3 i got by trading my Wii pre-order for.
I might be getting more ps3's from gamestops website, i am pretty sure they have a pre-order up soon so if your looking for one go to there website and leave them your e-mail. From what i understand whats going to happen is they wil count how many in store pre-orders they got they find out what there allocation is and put the leftovers up on there website BUT they might make it a package deal with some games. (IMO they will)

How long did you wait in line?

Reply to Coops07

about 2.5~3 hours 4th in line. I got to work checked my email and GS sent me the flyer (its the only reason i went). I paid for it all just to make sure i would get it. The store i pre-ordered my xbox 360 gave them to people who paid for it all first I figured they might do the same.
They did not sell out pre-orders very fast casue i called a couple of stores around lunch time they had a few.

some ppl just have to much cash. id rather donate that wasted money 2 charaty than get my ps3 early.

Reply to superwoofer

that money would go to new cpu board video card and 2 gigs ram

Reply to crazyman_02

ive just heard the great news that best buy's allocations might be cut in half. Now i am sure i will get a premium for my second PS3 ....oh happy days.


Also wondering if anyone else got screwed on the best buy pre-order fiascal. I got in very early in hopes for #3.

Reply to icbluscrn

I hadn't even heard about the preorder until it was retracted.

Now it looks like my only shot at getting a Wii any time soon is to get an absurd bundle.

Meh, I guess I can wait.
