Paying More For PS3? - Blu-ray Forum

darkpoet25 · 06-23-2007, 11:34 PM

I got lucky. I tried buying mine from Costco.com the day they came out with their bundle. The site was so overloaded that it wouldn't let me check out. So after a few weeks, I got a call from them asking if I still wanted to get mine. I finally got it in December and have enjoyed it ever since. It came with an extra controller and Genji(which was terrible, I traded it in for NBA 2K7). I payed a little over $700 for mine and now have FEAR as well as 19 Blu Ray titles. Worth every penny too. Only problem is that sometimes the controller gets stuck or just truns off by itself, other than that no complaints. To answer the question, I would've waited for the hype to die down. People STILL try and sell theirs for over $1000 on Ebay when you can easily pick one up at the store. Morons.

I bought mine off Amazon and it was quite cheap. £380 for the package with no games. If I had known how good it was I would have bought it sooner.

A little of both.

it was underpriced at launch and still is. Maybe by the end of the year the PS3's parts will be cheaper and sony may begin to see a profit per console sold

If it didn't have BD, I probably wouldn't have picked one up as early as I did.

A co-worker's wife is a wholesaler. She sold 12 PS3s at launch on eBay for $5,000 each! Suckers!
