Helmet_hair Posted January 24, 2007 Share Posted January 24, 2007 Buying the Wii and PS3 on Ebay for twice as much as retail creating a black market? If you would put down your hot pocket long enough to muster a little self-control and refuse to buy at scalper prices there would be plenty in the stores to buy at retail. Capitalism at its dumbest!

Fezmid Posted January 24, 2007 Share Posted January 24, 2007 I don't think anyone is paying double for a PS3. You can walk into almost any store and buy one for retail price if you want... The Wii, on the other hand, is hard to find. I'm with you though - I want one, but will wait until I can walk into a store to buy one (no camping out, no eBay, etc).

If they're willing to pay that, then good for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably the same morons buying time on phone cards at a higher rate than at the phone company's web site. Maybe the same ones that think they got a great deal on a CD for $0.99 and then pay $15 for shipping and handling. I realize in this case it is a supply/demand thang, but same morons. Gifs Moider!

Hey, the shipping and handling was only $3.00 per free cd The one I had to buy at full price was $20 + $3.00 S&H 8 CD's for $50 was a good deal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was out today and saw PS3's stocked in two different stores (and I only checked two stores out of curiosity). And it wasn't one or two, there were plenty in each store. The retards who bought them a couple months back for $5000 should feel pretty stupid (but of course they don't, that's why they're retards).

sweetbaboo Posted January 24, 2007 Share Posted January 24, 2007 I'm not buying one until the price drops below $300 and if it doesn't, I just won't get one. It's hardly worth paying that kind of money to play just Madden and NHL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's hardly worth paying that kind of money to play just Madden and NHL. The Wii and 360 are both generally under that right now (you have to hunt for a good deal on the 360 to do it -- I spent $330, which was good enough for me). I've still been hunting for a Wii, but no luck yet. Here's a great site that shows Target's stock (generally valid within an hour or two).
