So I happened to walk into Toys R Us...

[Fran]

I went to a Toys R Us near me, about 30 miles away. My objective was to find a PS3 and sell it on eBay or to a friend.

Went over to the games section and saw a PS3 box. "Ticket slot #32."

One was left. I grabbed it, and bought the PS3.

Now I have one, and heard they aren't going for much on eBay.

So, I'm thinking of two things:
1) Keep it
2) Sell it to a friend.

They aren't going for 10,000 bucks anymore. You might be able to make a grand. How much do you want the cash?

 

[Spider-X]

keep it, it's a good system...and congrats on your find.

 

[Ken Kutagari]

sell it, it's a bad system.

 

[Spider-X]

sell it, it's a bad system.

[Ken Kutagari]

Yes.

 

[Spider-X]

[Ken Kutagari]

what does having it on reserve do exactly? make it so you don't have to sell it if you don't get the bid you want? b/c i thought once you put it up for bit...it's out of your hands unless you want to be ousted from ebay

Well I put it on reserve because I notice a drop in sales for PS3! So I put it on reserve for 750.00! I didnt want to risk a chance where it goes less than what I paid for at the store. Thats what a reserve is for.

 

[Ken Kutagari]

of course ya did

Don't let the blue car hit you tomorrow :meow::heart:

 

[Spider-X]

ah! gotcha...so if it doesn't sell for the price you have it on reserve for...you don't have to sell it, interesting...

 

[Spider-X]

Don't let the blue car hit you tomorrow :meow::heart:

not the blue car again...son of a b#tch! it's always out there too

Ignore the hate, if you enjoy sony gaming machines keep it, if you don't then sell it. A lot of ppl will tell you to hate the PS3 because of Sony itself, or bad launch titles, and forget that PS2 had a horrible launch and became the leader of the pack in sales. Heck when The Bouncer is your best launch title you have a bad launch, I'd like to think the PS3 launch had better titles than PS2 did at launch.

Personally I don't get all the rabid fanboy hate, if you enjoy a system play it, if you hate it don't buy it and don't spend nights sleepless because others bought it. Some of the X-Box fanboys that come on the Sony boards to bash PS3 put Jplaya to shame with his Spiderman and Batman worship, heck some of them put Dacman's obsession with Hulk to shame.

Like me, I bought the origional X-box, and Halo. I personally thought it was a horrible system, and Halo was honestly one of the worst FPS experiences I've ever had and ended up selling my X-Box and games to a friend, and kept playing my PS2. On the other hand I realize others enjoy it, and what I say is opinion. I can give that opinion to someone as why they may not want to buy it. Some ppl on the games boards tho give reasons like, "IT Sucks, Sony's the man, don't buy it it's a waste of money!!!!", without ever having owned a Sony machine.

This stuff happens every new generation of the 'console wars' anymore. I personally enjoyed the PS1 and PS2 and have played on my friends PS3 and plan on buying one myself when I can find one. My friend says he enjoys it and got more than his monies worth. Me, I stick with Sony because of the great titles it puts out. It seems to put out the more fun obscure games and great rpg's I like. Games like Final Fantasy, Suikoden, MGS, Tekken, Xenogears/saga, and so on are more my taste which is a big reason I prefer Sony consoles.

Hmm...8 whole posts. I wonder which Hype name you also go under. No offense, it's just ppl post with multiple accounts on here so I've heard (heck was a post about it), and this is your first post? The normal first post is to make a vs. thread in the Marvel forums t:.

 

[Darkfloyd]

PS3 hasnt been out for much more than a month and its already a horrible system? Give it at least a year before you start saying that. Yeah its "cool" to bash sony, but just wait untill DMC4 and Metal Gear come out. I have faith in PS3.

here here...and if you think some of the comments in this thread are bad...try stepping into the "''PS3 is a huge let down''- Time magazine" thread and see what i had to endure in there.

Lol, actually I've been steering clear of the Sony forum just because of that. I mean the community forums can get a bit frustrating at times, the comic sections have their share of bias, and same with the anime section with the few who come in to bash anime. With this however their answering honest questions of what someone should do with a $600 machine they just bought with biased hate. $600 isn't chump change, and if I'm going to give an answer as to whether it's worth keeping or not I'm going to make as unbiased remarks to that answer as I can.

If someone asked me whether an X-box 360 was worth buying for $400, I'd tell them I honestly don't know as I haven't bought a 360, just that in my personal opinion I wasn't a fan of the first X-box. I wouldn't say "OMG return it right now, it's a waste of money and you're a loser for having bought it!!!", or something like that.

Hence if you like Sony consoles chances are you'll like the PS3, just as fans of nintendo buy from the NES to SNES to N64 to Gamecube and now Wii. If you hated the previous Sony consoles then you will probably hate the PS3 as well. If you know nothing about any of Sony's consoles then look up some of the games for it, read the reviews and see what you think.

If ppl were answering with, "Well I played my PS3 and found the games a bit dull, it had problems with graphics, I didn't find it worth it", then that would be fine. Telling someone they wasted their money, or should get rid of it fast without owning or having played one is telling someone what they should do with a $600 product that enjoyment is based on taste and the purchaser might have ended up enjoying, all based on personal bias and hatred.

That's why I don't buy consoles based on internet rants. Everyone enjoys different things, some form attachments to those items and become the most vocal in bashing it's competition. If I listened to internet rants I would never have bought a PS2 and believed it was going to fail horribly and be owned by the Dreamcast, and then later owned again by X-box and Gamecube, none of which happened but many ppl on the net predicted.

Keep it I guess. But if you didn't like Wii, I doubt you'll like PS3.

Why not? The Wii is a very different console.

Now you have one, you may as well keep it. There's not a vast amount around for the system at the moment, but that will change.

 

[Ken Kutagari]

Lucas will sell it. He must.

Hey Farmer Fan sweet find, I can't really help you out though in your turmoil because I'm a biased fanboy.

Off Topic- Do any of you guys know how to play music while you play video games on your Playstation 3 like the 360?
