[WildBobAA]

pokerstars fpp store

[givememyleg]

my god people on ebay are nuts! there was a package with 1 min left at $98, so i bid $300 for giggle who knows maybe i'd win right? well 20 seconds later it was at $640. i repeated this process 2 more times before i declared it would be impossible.

Out of Stock

also i'm about 15k fpps short anyway, assuming it would be 42k like the ps3 is

[WildBobAA]

It's only 24k, they seem to go out of stock and lot but they also seem to get new ones fair frequently.

[givememyleg]

really? wow well damn any idea when they'd be in stock?

[Deanglow]

I don't know if they will get any before Christmas. I've been waiting for the X-box360 to be restocked for like 2 weeks now :{

[donkbee]

wow they go for that much on ebay? maybe I should sell the one I have before Christmas. I've had one unopened since a month ago. Got it as an early birthday present and haven't had time to use it yet ...

I feel bad selling gifts though, so I guess I won't

[givememyleg]

brand new unopened wii's with nothing else go for like $420 minimum

[IowaSkinsFan]

I bought mine at an Fye. Except I asked a guy at gamestop before i went to fye and he laughed when i said i'd like to buy a Wii and said "wouldn't we all." God what a douche.

Yeah not the best timing Carl.

[givememyleg]

ya i know my timing suuuuuuuuuuucks but i just all of a sudden wanted one a few hours ago

ebay is crazy man, the cheapest wii right now is like $400, some packages are going for $800+

[givememyleg]

the problem is you just cant find them at many stores anymore, definitely not where i am located either

[Miffed22001]

6 months and itll be like this for the PS3 when GTA4 hits the shelves.
Buying 10 PS3's now at cut price would be such an investment

Not really since GTA 4 is coming out for XBox 360 also. Maybe when Gran Turismo, Final Fantasy 13 or MGS 4 come out for PS3 that would happen.

[martindcx1e]

too bad you missed out on this wii...

[will641]

wait so they regularly restock the wii and xbox 360??? shit im glad i read this thread before buying something stupid like an ipod or ps3. i have always been a p.s. fan, but the price of everything ps3 related really pisses me off. everything is like a 20% raise on prices.

what do you mean? what about the ps3 is more expensive? games are the same as the 360. controllers are the same. the system is a bit more but you don't have to buy certain peripherals for it either. what do you mean?

xbox will win 2008 because it already has an established user base since they came out first and have already had several stellar titles. Also, since they've been producing them longer they will continue to drop prices and stay under the PS3 which is huge for future sales. This is especially true as the second gen xbox games are coming out and there are already 1st gen discounted. Right now, xboxes are $300 and ps3 are $400-500. That's not a negligible difference. Additionally Microsoft is about breaking even on the xboxes now and Sony is still taking a big loss.

Arguing is fucking retarded. This is the 5th or 6th generational war and there are proven track records for what's successful. Xbox will sell more games, and will probably sell more units. Nintendo will quietly make more money than either from the DS and pokemon.

the ps3 def won't "crush" the xbox. i just meant the ps3 will do a TON better next year compared to this year. xbox prob will do better still, but it will be a much closer race i think.

i am pissed in general about how everything is more expensive basically. i guess i just mentioned ps because i never bought/ payed any attention to xbox prices. and the wii is cheaper and i am a fan of nintendo since thats what i grew up on.
