11/15/2006 8:11:42 PM

^i was actually gonna ask about wireless

if i had wireless i dont even gotta worry about doing my hw now, i can wait til i get there and do it

at least the cloudy skies will keep away the cold

11/15/2006 8:13:28 PM

i just hope that you guys are camping to sell and not camping to buy...

11/15/2006 9:22:46 PM

I just got home from the Canes game - on the way home we passed by the Circuit City on Glenwood at Crabtree and I saw a bunch of tents out front.

You guys are nuts

11/15/2006 10:33:35 PM

this just in, ps3 sucks.

hahaha, sony sucks! if you have a hdtv that only supports 480p/480i/1080i, you wont be able to play games (made in 720p) in hd on the ps3! wow that sucks!

Quote :

"As it turns out, gamers who own older HD sets that feature only 480i, 480p, and 1080i resolution input capabilities will have to settle for the display quality being downsized as the game boots in its 480p mode rather than upscaling the image from its more desirable 720p mode to the TV's 1080i."

http://ps3.ign.com/articles/746/746282p1.html

thats how i inferred it...i did a quick read, tell me if i'm wrong? you'll have to play in 480p so sony is trying to make you buy a sony 720p hdtv.

im tired so maybe this doesnt make sense, read the article and you tell me.



microsoft makes every game have to be 720p/1080i compatible so another win for microsoft!

11/16/2006 12:08:18 AM

cmon

i want an update
how is it on the battlefront?

11/16/2006 12:25:18 AM

it is going to be a SHITTY 12 hours for camping out in a parking lot. have fun.

11/16/2006 12:25:45 AM

arent the 1080i tvs 720P compatible? I think mine is....

11/16/2006 12:35:39 AM

not all of them, no

11/16/2006 1:26:36 AM

i went by crossroads target last night and had to think about why there were tents set up out front.....

then saw that best buy dont let you weirdos on the property until 12:01 Fri morning

how do you plan for that one? hmmmm?

ooooooh pwnt

11/16/2006 6:25:49 AM

$4050

11/16/2006 9:15:18 AM

0 feedback bidder though, its a joke...ebay should keep people like this off of there...

for me, id say that if youre bidding you have to have like 15 feedback minimum or something.

11/16/2006 9:52:32 AM

it's about to end let's see if it goes higher

11/16/2006 10:33:53 AM

I am here, they took our tent down, i didn't read this all yet. But 1. where are you
2. did this happen?:

over hear and from what i know some dude hired about 100 homeless people and placed them at varoius locations around the area. paid them 200 a head to sit and wait for the PS3. here he started with 16, now only 4 they all got bought out. its hillarious.

11/16/2006 9:20:13 PM

^^^everyone has to start somewhere

oh we are CRACKING UP over here about it. Schemer (sp?) got schemed.

11/16/2006 9:52:49 PM

so if bestbuy doesnt let you there, whats to prevent someone from showing up at 11:55 and sprinting to front doors?

11/16/2006 10:19:45 PM

everyone is lined up in chairs in front of the doors.
and i would say about 30 people would prevent anyone from "sprinting" to the doors, not to mention, i know the manager and he wouldn't let that fly.
we have been waiting over 24+ hours now.

11/16/2006 10:23:01 PM

^ at the cary bestbuy?

11/16/2006 10:43:44 PM

People should have just done there research and gotten preorders if they wanted PS3's so bad or to sell. I spent all of 45 minutes and I am getting 3 myself. If my friends would have gotten out of class when I called we would have had more. With that said.... goodluck to everyone at bestbuy and if you camped out I really hope u get 1 because you deserve it.

11/16/2006 10:45:23 PM

^^ Garner Best Buy, ITS OVER!!!
60 gig baby.

the schemer may not have even gotten all 4, because the manager knows he was basically a dealer. I left b/c i was too tired. But I hope he didn't get it.

11/17/2006 9:27:28 AM

preorder was where it was at if you had the insider info or saw it on the website the day before

11/17/2006 9:35:52 AM

I wonder if homeboy got his systems. If so they are going for 2500 minimum right now. One just went for 10k and the guy has 25 feedback so i'm sure its legit. fuck me running.

11/17/2006 9:42:52 AM

^yeah, legit like this one for 89 million dolars:

No payments for up to 6 months ?!!!!!!!

11/17/2006 10:19:37 AM

yeah it made it there after the 30min limit to edit. looks like the average for legit is 3k.

11/17/2006 10:24:33 AM

WE FUCKING TOLD YOU DUMBASS KIDS!!!!

11/17/2006 10:27:00 AM

You don't know what is legit and what isn't you dumbass.

11/17/2006 10:31:09 AM

so, ncemt_03...how did it work out for ya? get all the ps3's you hoped for?

11/17/2006 10:33:29 AM

i wonder how many people that standed in line actually kept their new playstation instead of throwing it on ebay

11/17/2006 10:35:02 AM

^^agreed. but i've gone through and looked at the bids the people have done, and their feedback. but you're right, i'm sure they rigged all their accounts and their previous purchases, not to mention teh feedback just to inflate the ps3 prices. so crafty...i bet they also framed OJ. "I really like him, but we have to get that son of a bitch"

Talking to me?

I sold 5 xbox 360s and I have never even played one. You faggots would do the same thing if you had the money to drop in the first place.

11/17/2006 10:39:31 AM

my dad makes more money than your dad!

11/17/2006 10:44:15 AM

average price for those sold: $2,618.47

11/17/2006 10:51:38 AM

^^ my dad doesnt give me money.

11/17/2006 10:54:16 AM

I ended up with a 20gb so Im going to sell it and buy the 60gb when I can. Is it better to sell now when the market is hot? or wait until all the systems have sold on ebay and then post mine? I figure the desperate ones will wait till the last minute and possibly pay more. But if sony manages to replenish stock pretty quickly, the demand will drop. Decisions, decisions.

11/17/2006 12:23:38 PM

^^i never said he did. the bickering in this thread just reminds me of that kind of argueing.

11/17/2006 12:25:41 PM

^^ i'm not getting greedy. i've got my 20gb system listed and when that ends tommorrow morning the 60gb system is going up

I'm friends with the guy who got all those homeless people. Last year me an him raped all the stores and got 11 360's on launch day. This year he got a bunch of nigs from downtown and set them up all over the city. it was on wral. ended up with 30+ systems putting them up at 2500 each. fucking brilliant.
