I'm surprised that shootings outside of Wal-Mart don't happen more often.

that ain't nothing, on CNN, they said the highest bid of the day today topped at $9,000, 15 times the cost of one at a store

i guess the extra $8,400 is the security of not having to be stampeded at a hyper-mart

can't these fuckers wait a year or two when they come out and it is cheaper, what idiots they get what they deserve.

Some of these 30 thirty year old men need to get laid, or at least jerk off a bit more, so they don't have such an itchy trigger finger.

I hear that in the gaming community, the sooner you have the latest console, the bigger your penis gets.

if i wasnt in between jobs i would SO go over to wal-mart and buy one of these just to resell it.

My dad has his PS3. He is thinking about selling it on ebay. He really doesn't want to do it because he really likes his games, but on the other hand he'll feel stupid and bad if he doesn't, because he can get the money to buy another one later and a nice profit to give us all some nice Christmas presents. He'll be happy and unhappy either way.

I'm suprised if that is a real one. There are a lot of spammers that just bid crazy amounts just to ruin it for everyone. I saw one go for $15,000, my dad says he saw one that was $30,000.

!@#$%! 11.17.2006 08:14 PM

the world is full of stupid fucks. your dad should bleed them-- it's the law of nature that stupid fucks get eaten.

Alex's Trip 11.17.2006 08:20 PM

Yeah. Looking at the pure business side of it, he should sell it. He just likes his games, and he doesn't buy much else for himself, so he doesn't want to sell it. He'll get another eventually, if he does sell it. I told him to remember that there will always be the Wii to satisfy him while waiting.

COPMUTER GAMES!!!!!


perhaps.... just perhaps they should ban GUNS and not games. when you think these things through rationally they start to make sense. how many playstation related deaths have been recorded over the last 12 months in the USA? how many gun related deaths have occured in the last 12 months in the USA?

Yeah, Wii will kick PS3's ass anyways if that controller works out.

Alex's Trip 11.17.2006 09:03 PM

My dad played it at the store when he got the PS3. He played some driving game and the first lap was hard to figure out how to work it, but the second lap was really easy. One guy said he got a little tired playing Red Steel.

Banning guns would completely take the power out of the people's hands.

Sell sell sell!!!! The launch games look pretty weak anyway.

They always do, no matter what the console.

Well the wii has Zelda as a launch game so that isn't necessarily true.

Alex's Trip 11.18.2006 10:42 AM

Zelda and Red Steel.

He might not sell it. Right now the Ebay prices aren't over $2000 dollars anymore. But it is early in the day, so I imagine that they will go up later in the day. He is still on the fence.
