One of my friends pre-ordered one and already got it (I think he works at a gaming store). He's offering it for $1200 (which is kind of bogus) but if you want it for that much, I could help ya out :)

Personally I'm looking forward to the Wii. I don't buy new systems right away (because they always release new versions, and they cost way too much) but a lot of my friends are getting it. PS3 might be cool but it costs way too much. ...

Not that I've ever owned a console, but I'd be waiting a few months before buying one.

Xbox, Ps2, 360, all have had pretty bad flaws on release whether it's overheating, crashing, or laser alignment - let the idiots who line up put up with that and wait for version 2 ;)

I'm pretty sure $1200 is a deal! I actually am banking (literally) on my ebay PS3's selling for $3000 each, but I guess only time will tell. I'll be back with an update tonight after they sell on ebay.

This morning I was offered $1700 cash for one, and I declined! Good move or bad move? We'll see tonight.

Outrageous price for a machine who costs 559.

I think buying 5 just isnt fair,especially as they are for the purpose of making obscene profits on them...theres people who would kill just to have 1 for their son/daughter/lesbian lover....and they cant buy them

Its on a par with ticket touts in my opinion

I would have taken it, you wouldn't have to pay ebay fees then.
