Ahhhhhh just brought PS3

Simmz · 20 Nov 2006 at 14:10

Probably going to get flamed to death but I could not resist.

Just brought a PS3 for $1040 (£548) with delivery off of ebay

Considering there are talks of the UK 60GB version between £550 I am not to bothered that I spent that much.

I will update with pics and vids once I recieve it. At the end of the day I was going to buy either a Blu ray or HD dvd player before Xmas so I thought I may as well get the PS3.

Ridge Racer 7
Resistance: Fall of Man
Call of duty 3

Now sell it on Ebay in the UK for about £2k.

Nismo · 20 Nov 2006 at 14:29

Sony will be after you for importing one, hope it doesn't break

Fantastic, Call of Duty 3 is a cracking game. Resistence looks ace and Ridge Racer, well, what is there to say other than RIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIDGE RACERRRR

But Sony has inflicted massive damage on your wallet by hitting its weak spot

It's not the affording, it's the justification of spending such huge amounts of money on a little toy that gets me :s

Depends what a huge amount of money is, to some its £10.

How much for each?

Nicely done Simmz. Get those gratuitous unboxing shots up when you get a chance

Though I do think you are quite, quite mad. Not the money side as such, personally I would waited to see what reliability is like until I squandered a warranty.
C'est la vie.

Enjoy though!

Compared to what the average games console costs. To me it's liek buying a fancy shaped pasta for 2-3 times the cost of regular pasta.

Fair enough, I paid not far off that price for a Jap. Dreamcast, then a further £300 on a TV so I could play it in colour!
