My crazy plan started once I returned from E3... Simple, open up a special PS3 Savings account and just put away a minimum of $100 every month until the PS3 arrives and I' m able to score one.

I' m not going to buy one in its early days but if you really want a PS3 but can' t save enough to have $700 all at once then you should take a loan. $36 per month for two years doesn' t sound too bad does it?

I am going to buy so much stuff for my 360 and rack up points on my HMV gamercard.

That way by the time PS3 comes out, I should have about £150.00 on the card...

Then they' ll ask me...

" Do I want to use that for this purchase?"

Then I will smile......

ginjirou it' s already been stated that the premium will cost 600 euro=780 USD,but here 800.

And dont forget that you need a game to it also :P
But perhaps you mixed the core-premium price.

Warning The following might hurt some people..


I plan to play 360 Dead Rising until i get bored..

By that time I can Part-exchange my 360 titles For a nintendo Wii..

And part-exchange the actual 360 unit with 4 pads, and wireless Network adaptor, 2 charge and play kits towards a PS3..

You' d be an idiot to buy it at launch if you don' t have a HDTV to take full advantage of the Blu-Ray drive.

Yepp,and blu-ray movies is only in 1080p.

So if you have a PC monitor that doesnt show a reso at 1920x1080 you will not get HD.
I dont have it for ex.

Sorry but I kinda see Dead Rising as fodder ;)... I don' t see the game receiving anything higher than a 7.5 from most of the ' big' OR reputable gaming sites out there when it finally does get released... But that' s all just a guestimation on my part.

Plus the game is a big ripoff of the Dawn of the Dead movies!

No, he doesn' t need help.

Why would you need help if you' re the son of Kutaragi?

Remeber what Kutaragi said?


" You will need to work for your PS3"


He has taken that and gone out and done it.

Next up:

" Sony says, PS3 will cost an arm, a leg, toenail clippings and your mother and
father, provided their combined income is over £50,000 a year"

But Blackdraon309, please don' t do anything silly..

You want a link for the above statement?

You might need to tweak your plan a bit Blackdraon306. I' ve got a similar plan, only it involves selling many ps2' s. At any rate, a brand new slim ps2 only fetches a fair amount of money, nothing over 120, not after Sony dropped the price on the slim. I doubt yours is new in packaging, seeing as most people play the consoles they buy.

If it' s an older model, and used, don' t expect much. If you' ve just got a controller and cords, expect $50-70, if you' ve got a few good (or at least new) games, you can usually fetch $80-90. I' ve never had a sale that went over $120, so I hope your job pays well. And as for cans, how much does your area give back in return? cause $400 or so dollars in cans... that' s some serious drinking.

While i will hate to miss a console launch (it' ll be my first since the Saturn), Gangsta and myself definately have the " right" idea. While i AM glad i bought my 360 at launch, i foresee lots of technical problems and unit shortages for Sony.

I' ll be waiting until Heavenly Sword, VF5 (unless the 360 version is announced before the PS3' s release) and DMC4 are out before i buy one.

You' re not serious.

You may buy one and sell it for a profit (because there will be insane demand and not enough units to go around), and then buy a cheap HDTV and another unit for yourself with the money you made when the machine is freely available. That' s wise. Wise if you don' t mind ripping people off, but since it doesn' t bother me and i KNOW it wouldn' t bother you (because the person buying it an an inflated price is a moron) then more power to ya buddy.

Very little. PS2' s don' t fetch much anywhere these days (thank Sony for reducing manufacturing costs and driving the prices of NEW hardware down).

You' d probably be better off selling blood and maybe...

That' s been my plan since E3 05. Back when i thought the Killzone trailer could' ve been legit. By the time I learned the truth, i was a few hundred dollars in, and had already commited.

Um... do you have a recently-deceased billionaire great-uncle, because for the price of five ps3' s (20 gig) you could buy yourself a car. I don' t even want to think about what you could get with five 60 gig' s.[:' (]

So about your crazy ps2 scheme. I' ve been selling them on ebay for the ps3, so if i can get specifics, i could figure some kind of estimate for ya...

First off, have you sold anything on ebay before?

Are they first-party controllers?

Any damage to the controllers?

What kind of cosmetic damage, if any to the PS2? Rubber/plastic footies removed, expansion bay cover missing, little sony decal removed from tray, stuff like that. (People don' t want to buy an incomplete unit. Not when they can get a complete one for the same price)

Is it a slim, or an original ps2?

Has it been opened (warrantee seal broken)

Did it come from a smoking or non-smoking home?

I' ve sold all those games except Triple Play, and sports titles add little more than a few bucks to the auction, so methinks you won' t add more than $15 dollars to your auction. (not much, I know) Best of luck to ya though.

Ebay tip:

When selling things, all ways attach pointless little dongles or whatever to the bid, you dont know how much people will bid on your auction for some cheap crap, it dosent have to be cheap, a extra memory card, or controller allways make the bidding higher.

Silent Bomber, I think I' ll do the same. I' m going to go out and buy a ps3 for the sole purpose of selling in on Ebay. I remember how pissed I was Nov. 22nd, and weeks after when i saw so many 360' s sell on Ebay, some for over $4 000.

Its crazy, if people are stupid enough to pay ten times what its worth just to get it now then I want to be the guy to sell it to them. Fuck now I have a reason to be excited about the ps3. Hell I might even try and sell them the bran new ps3 box.

The shortage for ps3 will be five times worse then 360. Even considering the price tag of the ps3 Sony will never be able to reach its manufacturing goals. I' m positive they lied about manufacturing goals first of all.

I bet I could make more money selling PS3' s then I managed to save working for two years without any billes to pay.
