that's pretty nuts. if only this was a year ago....

zenki.life · 08-26-2009, 03:03 AM

actually ive just been waiting for the ps3s to get to the 300 dollar price. now i will buy one

*Sil-Abc* · 08-26-2009, 04:10 AM

i would rather wait to buy a brand new slim one with a larger HDD for 299. I would gladly pay another 60 some dollars to get a brand new one with a 1 yr warranty knowing for sure its brand new

WanganRunner · 08-26-2009, 06:56 AM

Wow, that's crazy.

I might order one.

EDIT: I guess the slim PS3 still has USB ports, right? I want to be able to use my Driving Force Pro on it. Maybe I'll just wait for that.

So you can charge the controller? or use a joystick/wheel?

yeah id say wait on a bigger hdd ps3 unless you wanna upgrade the hdd off the bat. for casual gamers the 40gb will be ok, but its nice to have extra room.

ZenkiKid · 08-26-2009, 02:51 PM

if i didnt already have a ps3 40gb id be all over this. You can always upgrade the HD on these easily.

shinmei-2006 · 08-26-2009, 04:50 PM

^ yea, i might jump on this, but im liking the slim ps3 though.

i've owned (and sold lol) 6 PS3s since it came out (i even waited in line for 3 days...no lie)

I hope that's 3 days of waiting total and not in one sitting

shinmei-2006 · 08-26-2009, 05:15 PM

^ no...it was days in one sitting...outside a walmart lol...we had TVs and sleeping bags and stuff...

this walmart was fucking stupid they wouldnt just give us "tickets" to come back on the last day. they said if we got out of line we would get screwed...

worked out for me, i got 4 ps3s total ( 3 friends with me) and sold em on CL for more than double what i paid lol. threw my friends the amount they would have made at work if they actually went in those 3 days lol.

I can't play GT with a controller anymore. I don't want to have to buy a whole new wheel/pedal rig to play GT5, if I can avoid it.

Ok PS3 you've got my attention.
