I'm broke this time ![[Frown]](frown.gif) . I can't join the fun/hype this time, like I did with the 360 when it first came out. I've spent way too much this riding season for my bike and Christmas is around the corner.

Ya we already have one reserved and paid for. Helps when wife is a store manager.
Cool part is that its does the Hi-def DVD's. Comparing to the cost of the true HDDVD players this thing is a great buy.

I know its another version but not the same.... just hate to see someone pick up HD movies to play in it before hand. I have a friend thats buying Blu-Ray discs off ebay right now before the system and prices start going up.

From what they said on Attack of the Show yesterday, Ebay will be restricting the PS3 auctions. Sure for the people that want to make some money that sucks, but for the parents that just want to buy a gift for their kids, it keeps it a little more fair to the average buyer.
Personally, I'm gonna get a Wii the day it comes out and wait on the PS3 till the insanity dies down. I'm very happy with my 360 and enjoy it alot.
Did you see some of the auctions for the 360 on ebay when they came out? There were people listing auctions for empty boxes but made it look like the system was included. I also saw people listing links to where you can get systems but made you think that you got the system when you didnt. I think its good that ebay would try and limit people getting ripped off. I'm sure that if you have a PS3 in hand and want to sell it they would be happy to let you.... after all, thats how they make money. Its great that ebay is going to step up and try to clean up scammers listings. ![[patriot]](graemlins/patriot.gif)
It was crazy! I'm sure its only going to be 100000x's worse with the PS3...
I got pretty lucky when I got mine. I was in MS and was told by the game store manager that no one at his store paid in full... he offered me one if I paid in full... well come release day, no dice. He claimed he didnt know what I was talkign about, even tho I had a witness!
I ended up going on ebay and just hunting around alot... trolling auctions basically. I ended up getting a package deal, paying only $40 over retail for all the stuff I got. The seller even overnighted it to me... so I figure I got a pretty fair deal.
If I get antsy, maybe I'll keep checking at Costco... they had alot of the 360's. The overall problem is that Sony just doesnt have enough units.

Much better than HD-DVD? Not at playing movies pick up any home theater magazine and you read that HD-DVD video quality is superior than BluRay.
Sound and Vision - "looked fairly clean overall, but the level of picture sharpness and clarity I've come to expect after watching HD DVD just wasn't there."
Engadget - "HD DVD fanboys have something to celebrate as they walked away from this first scuffle without so much as a bloody nose"
CNET - "Blu-Ray movies, video quality that's impressive but still not as good as its HD-DVD competition"
And the list goes on and on....

Just as a heads up people were already selling there pre sales on EBay and they where going for 1500. All preorders where bought out on the 10 of october. Game Stop and EB. Best buy target and k mart are not accepting preorders. Best but is to try toys R us and see if you can preorder threw them.
Only 400,000 untis were released for the us. That means about 8000 per state.
Wish you luck on getting one before X-Mas
P.S. The reason you wont find these on EBAY right now.
Alot of theft occured during the 360 release last year before x-mas. Ebay's new stipulation is you have to have the item in hand to be able to sell it. Ebay also knows that realease officially is 11-19. I belive the rule goes if you will not have the merchendise within 30 days of the orginal posting they will remove your add. So expect adds to start going up early to late november.

the 360 also plays hi def, and will be able to paly 1080p with the new add on that is comming out. Personally I like xbox 360, hardly any loading times and good game development. Almost all the hardcore game developers make games for boths systems.
shitty is the ps3 games are rumored at $99 bucks each

So I went to EB today, and thought Marvel Alliance was going to be out, but it doesn't come out till Tues, but I did get Splinter Cell: Double Agent and it is probably the best game Ive played for 360. I love creeping on people and sanpping ther necks, LOL ![[Eek!]](eek.gif) ![[dance]](graemlins/dance.gif) . I did put Gears of War on hold and Superman Returns on hold as well. Don't know if I'll betting Marvel Alliance anymore as I'll probably have my hands full with this game.
