Sony PS3..... in time for xmas...?
« on: 14 September 2008, 03:44:58 »
Just wondering, is there likely to be a decent demand on games consoles again in the run up to xmas?

I bought a 60gb PS3 last october and for those that dont know, the 60gb versions were the ones with USB slots and all the bells and whistles, and also reverse compatibility meaning i could play my ps2 games that i deliberately kept when i sold my ps2

although i rarely used it, to my devastation a couple of weeks ago, the ps3 went faulty, but in my favour, its done it within the warranty period, so i trot to HMV with it yesterday and they tell me (which i was kind of aware of already) that there were endless faults with the 60gb versions which is why they'd discontinued them a while ago in favour of the 40gb, then subsequently a newer 40gb cos the first sort also had faults, and then more recently the 80gb version which has so far proved to them to be a better quality one

i was a bit unimpressed (no ones fault) that i couldnt get another 60gb one in replacement for mine, with reverse capability so they've given me a brand new 80gb one which doesnt have the reverse capability so i have a few useless ps2 games!!

do i stick this new ps3 up on ebay now (sealed and brand new) or do i hang on for a month or so and see if demand towards xmas pushes the price up??

Got there as the Sun was rising.



Can confirm the pier hasnt been burnt down, unlike most arround the coast.  :y



No bugga about, the place was deserted.





So I came home again

Think my camera is acting up, been left in the car for about 6 weeks, the autofocus doesnt want to work properly. :'(

HMV were bullshitting, you should have gone to Sony - they have a float of 60GBs for warrantee repairs, they dropped the 60 due to production costs.

PS3 values, well Sony stuffed the speculators by making a lot and flooding hte market.

Not watching the F1 no point it will be engineered for Ferrari to win, I think I will use BP rather than Shell petrol as well.
