I Like to frequent the auction
site eBay looking for some of the best deals on the planet. If you haven’t
been to the site recently they have this brand new thing on there for
the holidays. It basically gives you the product of the day and takes
you to a list of the item that was listed. I’ve been looking into
the PS3 for a while so when it was featured on eBays home page I checked
it out. What I found was quite disturbing.
People are willing to pay over
$2,000 for this system that costs $600 in the store. It’s insane
how far people are willing to go to get this system. I bet there’s
probably something wrong with them like the first batch of PS2s that
was shipped out. Just check out this auction:

That’s right, over $2,000
for a system that is being viewed as overpriced and not worth the money.
In fact, I have actually had one hell of a hard time bringing in the
money for one off the shelf because of college. Anyone willing to pay
that much for one system is a complete retard.
Not only that, but what is
it with these companies anymore? I don’t want to burn cds, listen
to music, get a blow job or anything else from my PS3. I want to play
some kick ass games. Heck, I would rather pay less money without the
features. Heck, I don’t even need the ability to play PS1 games
since I’m selling them all off anyways.
All I can say here is for all
the hype these new systems are getting, they better be fucking awesome.
I hope they are better than the Xbox 360, which is crappy. (On a side
note when I played a demo of Madden 07 on the 360 the fucking thing
had a slow frame rate and actually bogged down.)
Back to the retard who was
paying over $2,000 for this system. He’s not the only one, there
are literally dozens of systems being sold for more than $1,500 or so.
Just check out eBay and do a search for Playstation 3. Not only that,
but the Wii is also getting some pretty high bids, even though it has
the dumbest looking controllers and all it’s top games have been
given shitty ratings by GameSpot. Just look for yourself:

Although it’s not over
$1,000 it’s still too much. I am going to wait in line to buy
about 5 PS4s when they are made just so I can make $5,000 off eBay in
profits. Dumbasses, gotta love em.
