Bandwidth Place 2

Me and a friend decided that we were going to camp outside Toys R Usand do this and for whatever reason we decided to take a ride out at 11 PM the night before. There was already a carlot full of people but no one with the balls to start the 11 + hour wait in the sub 30 degree weather, until we showed up that is. We bolt out of the car and end up first and second in line, and after that the rest of the people pile out and everyone other then the next two guys in line (who both wanted PS3's) and the next 3 chicks (who were very nice to us) were pretty pissed about it lol. So we showed up ultimately unprepared for this little event. I was wearing jeans, a shirt and a steelers fleece pullover that the wind just tore through and the wind was a blowin. He wasnt much better dressed and nethier of us took blankets, chairs, pillows, food or drink, or anything to do. The next two guys in line went home and got chairs and a ton of blankets for us and them and we saved their spot in line for them. So I ended up shafted once more with one tiny thin white blanket and WoW is a big man lol... it wasnt cutting it. So after about an hour of freezing the girl laying beside me says you look cold and covers me up, pretty nice I thought even though it wasn't a whole lot better... did hold the wind back a little.

So a manager comes out and informs us she has only 3 60GB PS3's , 1 20GB PS3, 9 Wii's and 30 elmos. The other pair of friends decided they would let me and my friend have the two 60's since we were first in line. So after about 7 AM the next morning this wrather large african guy decideds to offer $200 for one of us to leave our spot in line, then when we laughed crazily he offered $1000 dollars for a spot up front and I nearly took it thanks to the danged crazy wind. It acutally got colder as the sun came out.

So I put my $50 down and then I need to put another $549 when I go to pick it up. The voucher even says that you can get 30$ off your 3rd PS3 game... so looks like im getting 3 games and another controller.

lol

1. He's a nigger who probably didnt have any at all/real money on him.

2. PS3's will be selling for easily 1500-2000+ and Ill get to play it a while before I sell it.

lol

Nope, its just a pre order and some of them and gone for over $2500 already. Once it gets close to christmas and people realize just how extremely few there are then the price will go up even further. I expect to be able to off it beginning of december for about $2500-$3000 dollars.

Then take that money, get another PS3 and several games and a controller for it and then get my 37" 1080p HDTV I want.

lol

1080p? Hot damn dude, my 43 inch stops at 1080i/720p.

please dont tell me you ever run at 1080i

thats why you get the money first

still more profittable selling the PS3

This is where I separate myself from people like 2005. Obviously no one was waiting out in the cold yet. People in groups tend to be stupid. Ever hear the saying "A person can be smart but people are dumb."? This looks like a classic sign of "stupid is as stupid does" or in milder terms "follow the leader, no matter where the leader goes".
I personally refuse to pay that kind of money for ANY game or toy, especially one that will be out done in about 3 years and be worthless. The smartest thing you said in your whole statement 2005 is you are going to resell it for a profit. I hope that works for ya.
As always, this is only my opinion, I could be wrong.

lol

Not happening.

I dont know if I'll end up selling it or not. You all know how badly I wanted the system.

But on the same hand I've waited over a year now for it invain, whats a few more months? Espically to know that this way it wouldnt have cost me a dime and it would have got a HDTV + profit.

We shall see if I get offered that kind of money or not. If im offered $2000 or more im takeing it.
