Again, when does this one come out?

Exactly what i have feared. The PS3 will undoubtably be the most priciest system on the market. tch.. what a shame.

My suitemate got a PS3 for free and a week early. Crazy kid opened it up and played it instead of selling it on ebay! He could have easily gotten around $6,000 for that!

what connections do these guys have that allows them to be gifted systems in advance

He wrote game reviews for the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, so they sent him one as a thank you.

talk about an awesome perk
thx for the response

Yea, that lucky guy! lol He keeps rubbing it in, lol.

Even though he has perks like that I still don't no that the PS3 is still not selling but it really could have a chance at still selling out everywhere but the problem is that it is never in stock and they never ever get any new system into their stores. :( It's a really big pitty that they are not able to keep up with demand otherwise Sony would be bring in money... the second and third parts are the worst part! Sony is losing money on every PS3 that roles of the line! And companies have been very public that they would have to sell a ton of the game to even start to make a profit on the games! So right now Sony and the game companies trying to support them are really taking a huge hit right now... i not one of those people who just says PS3 sucks! I just don't think how they are handling the system is necessarily the right way to respond to a gamers call for excellence! The only game out right now that anyone is even remotely interested in is the Resistance: Fall of Man... That is just not the way that the PS3 needed to come out of the gates!
STANDUP ~<>~ BEHEARD!

agree but with the graphics capability not even 1/4th what it could be and a ten year expected life they'll have plenty of time but if i can't find a ps3 i might just buy another system in frustration as millions of potental buyers might.
