Ok I'm not really surprised about all of this but searching thru ebay, it's hard to believe people would actually pay thousands more than it's original selling price

$15,100 for a PS3? That's worth more than a brand new entry level car! What is this world coming to?!? I'll just wait, play Quake 4 on my PC and buy one once Sony announces a price drop.

From what I heard, there really is a big shortage of this certain console, that there are actually reports of PS3 related crimes.

I heard/read somewhere Sony purposely limiting its supply? Dunno if there is any truth to this.

that's just lame dude...

these guys should get a life u know. like get out of the real world and not be a loser playing games all day. i mean i'm a gamer myself and i can get pretty addicted playing games, but purchasing a unit for tens of thousands of USD is just....unreasonable.

isa lang masasabi ko sa bumili ng 15,000 USD na PS3: get a life.

That's old news, they did the same thing when PS1, XBOX, PS2, and all other consoles first came out, ditto with Wii, my officemate wanted to get one last night from Amazon, as soon as midnight struck, it took them 45 seconds to sell all their stocks out.

may nabasa ako na may taong ginawang business. he hired several homeless people to camp out for him and gave them enough cash to buy these units plus an additional "fee" and afterwards, he will auction these units one by one.

buying a unit for 500USD, paying the homeless man 100-200USD and selling the unit for 10,000USD or more....now that's f*^*%*% genius!!! just think, if u just hired 10 homeless guys to do the work for u, damn u'd make a killing already. u can easily net close to 100K USD, enough to buy a nice ride.... ;D

daming PS3 sa greenhills..

20GB = 45k

60GB is 55k to 60k (sa toy kingdom pinakamahal  :o)

isang game sa toy kingdom.. 4,499.xx  :o

kung US$15,100 may bibili pa ulit.. papadala ko na lang free delivery pa door to door.  ;D

libre ko pa siya ng 5 games!

For now its not worth it.

Get a 360 instead.

The highest rated PS3 game is Resistance: Fall of Man which only got an 8.6.

Everything else is getting 6s on gamespot.

So much money and the next gen games don't even do it justice... yet.

Go stable, just right... TO GO FASTER!
