Gundampilotspaz Posted October 18, 2006 Share Posted October 18, 2006 http://blog.scifi.com/tech/archives/2006/1...tation_3_p.html If you were worried you would have to go on eBay and spend over $1,000 to get a PlayStation 3 once it came out, don't worry. You can just go on eBay now and spend over $1,000 on a PS3 pre-order and save yourself the hassle. Yes, it's officially gotten out of control already, with many major retailers selling out of their pre-orders within minutes last week and people already giving up on getting one the day they come out. There have been nearly a dozen auctions on eBay successfully completing at an average of $1,200 — some as high as $1,500. For a pre-order! Wii pre-orders are on there too, but they seem to be clocking in at under $500 a piece. Still somewhat nuts, but not as completely insane as $1,200. Well, what are you waiting for? Your kid won't love you as much if they don't find a PlayStation 3 under the tree this holiday season, so you'd better get one so they don't go back to their boarding school mad at you. — Adam Frucci Link to comment
J-Stop Posted October 18, 2006 Share Posted October 18, 2006 Wow, Sci-Fi is what, 10 days late on this? Your kid won't love you as much if they don't find a PlayStation 3 under the tree this holiday season, so you'd better get one so they don't go back to their boarding school mad at you. Cute. Now if only the author took the time to read the facts about this shit, he'd learn that eBay is already pulling all of these since they violate the ToS, couple sellers have already been caught making double accounts to hike up their own item, and anyone who actually wins one is given a refund and no order ticket. Another thing I found amusing was that, out of all the auctions that they could have clipped a pic for, it had to be one that had a buy it now feature. Link to comment
Crube Posted October 18, 2006 Share Posted October 18, 2006 Whatever happened to the "No VGCats cartoons allowed" rule? Link to comment
J-Stop Posted October 18, 2006 Share Posted October 18, 2006 Whatever happened to the "No VGCats cartoons allowed" rule? Wrong comic. Crtl-Alt-Del was the one we "banned". Mostly because it's, well, not funny...or good, and the artist is an ass. Link to comment
Ceraziefish Posted October 19, 2006 Share Posted October 19, 2006 That's pretty dumb, but if someone wants to buy a PS3 for that much I won't stop them. Link to comment
