If your dad knew you were on an internet site trying to hawk playstations, how many pieces would he break you into?

most of you will be happy to know, that this whole PS3 has blown up in my face. They are not selling like I thought it would, im going to just end up keeping one for ourselves and return the rest. Plus we take a loss for paying people to wait in line for us.

Stop acting like a "Blockhead"! Act like a normal human being. You wanted attention and you got it.

Pias is right. This is not the board to sell things. I know you started the thread for attention because of all the hubbub about the stupid machines.

Can someone explain to me why Sony is selling the PS3 at a loss of almost $250 per unit so that people like Jerry can make money off selling them on ebay? How does that make any business sense?

Whats absolutely comical is that the retailers themselves are losing money on every ps3 they sell.

Skippy: Is that right? What would be the purpose? I understand that there are flaws in the damn things anyway!

Timm it is right, at least at walmart. I have a friend that is a store manager for one and each PS3 cost the store 602.75 so granted its not a huge loss but if you multiply that out over a good deal of stores it starts to add up. His store recieved 6 last night and had over 100 people in line.

As to why your guess would be as good as mine. Maybe while saving their place in line other family members would shop.... Maybe people buying accessories, your guess would be as good as mine.

it's odd to me that seattlespamstar's absence coincided with Balleto's
I'm still not convinced Jerry and his brother didn't put bras on their heads
and concoct her on their computer down in the basement
If you ever get the chance, shower with them. I did. Mmm, it's a mindscrambler.
