Preordered PS3 this morning...

[Nuno]

Gamestop sent out an email announcing that they would take a limited amount of preorders today. I was number 15 out of 16 so I made it just in time. Although, I'm not too confident that I will get one on launch day. Time will tell.

 

[ManU2000]

Yeah, I got that same e-mail but I don't have the cash to buy one just yet. Probably get one some time next year.

 

[ShiftyPowers]

I'm going to be using my PS2 for a long time

 

[Avalanche]

I'm gonna wait at least a year before I make a decision regarding next-gen. I wanna see how the PS3 and Wii stack up against the 360. If there's a clear favorite, then I'll get that, but if there's a close battle for number one, I'll wait another 6 months before buying a new console.

I have a solution for your dilema. Get a new credit card with 0% interest for a year. You have a year to pay it off with no pressure. That's what I did.

 

[ManU2000]

I would since I need a credit card now anyway but my parents probably wouldn't be all too thrilled to see me spend my money on something that isn't a necessity.

its YOUR money dude

 

[Filipower]

burn

 

[ManU2000]

Yeah, I know that but I don't make too much and what I do make goes to my car, insurance and my loan for school. Getting a PS3 would just be waste of money when I'm trying my best to help my parents out financially right now.

Credit Card companies love to screw young people. I've had my rates raised and my credit limits slashed for no reason. I also racked up $1000 in debt relatively quickly because I thought getting two credit cards was a great way to avoid getting a job. Bad move.

dont look sad Shifty, you're in good company

 

[Shindig]

And it's by no means dead yet.

 

[Internazionale]

I will most likely purchase a PS3 next summer, or the earliest one around mid-Spring next year.

I have already had petty cash US$ 700-US$800 this time separating from my savings account, but I just want to pick up a new color (silver) this time around.

well, I'm looking forward for Nuno's hyper-gaming PS3 this time. Don't forget to post some of your thoughts after you get it & play PS3 games, man !

 

[Tom]

For a serious answer, aslong as it gets decent previews etc, ill buy a PS3 WHEN GTAIV comes out.

I bought a PS2 with GTAIII and never looked back sooo

I hope I get it. I don't feel completly confident being 15th out of 16, but we'll see what happens. I preordered Resistance, so I'll review it for you guys in about a month's time.

Here a great article from eurogamer about the PS3's online capabilities.

I tried to make a preorder with Gamestop (sold out) (EB Games Sold out) so I'm phucked.

Best Buy will have em ready but you have to wait in line for like 2 days make it real early.. in order to get 1.

I heard first ones are the always ones with most errors.

 

[SlowSilver]

You guys must have quite a bit of spare cash...

 

[Nuno]

You guys must have quite a bit of spare cash...

Not really, but I do have a credit card with no interest for a year. I'll have no problem paying it off that way.
