Has anyone used ebay for the PS 3 yet? Well I did, and I hope the transaction goes well. I think it was around 1385 total with shipping.
The shipping is overnight and if they ship it right away, do you think I will get it by Saturday?

You mean the Saturday after the PS3 launches? Theoretically, you should, though you may not get it until that Monday depending on whether the company it's being shipped with counts Saturday as a business day.

Did they ever have problems like this with the older system lauches. Like there aren't that many being made the first time around.
So did this happen with the older systems, like or PS 1 or 2

It just seems surreal that it's finally coming out. I remember talking to my friends about what PS3 would be like, when PS2 came out. Pretty much everyone assumed that it would be true-to-life graphics with the ability to have hundreds of characters on-screen at once.

I believe, at the very least, that Sony made it seem like there wouldn't be enough PS2s when it first came out. I don't remember if there were shortages though.

PS2 was a pain in the ass to get when it came out. I can't recall if there was an actual shortage or not, but I know my parents ended up paying an extra 1 or 2 hundred to get it for me, for Christmas.

I got a PS2 the day it was released very easy. I walked into K-Mart at 8am when they opened and got one. There were only like 3-4 people there trying to get one and they got in around 20 units. When I got home I was so dissipointed in the system. Bouncer was nothing like what were promised and Madden had all kinds of glitches and wasn't very good at all.

I personally dont see why people find it that hard to wait a little while until they are readily available in stores so they can save over half that.

I've decided to camp for the PS3. The main reason is that I have already seen some of the outrageous prices on Ebay, so I am going to try my luck at getting one and thowing it on there to make some quick cash. Even if I am unable to get one, it'll still be fun waiting in-line, listening to a bunch of Sony fanboys.

This just in: Sony has announced a Second Shipment of consoles after launch, in the sum of 20,000 Worldwide between the Japan/American launch and Europe/Australian Launch. Only 20 thousand ? That's not very many at all. That brings it up to the initial 100,000 in two shipments. Terrible.

I played PS3 earlier today at Target when I went to pick up Gears from EB. I played Motor Storm (I think that's the name). The graphics were good but I think the 360 could do them easy. The motion tilt control is alright but it's so lame compared to what the Wii can do.
I was talking to my friend who works at Target in Colorado a while ago. He help setup their untit yesterday. He said the thing weighs a ton even alot more then the Xbox. He also said its noisy as can be and gets very hot. The demos are not on a disc they are saved onto the hard drive. Also he said if you just touch the thing it gets all kinds of finger prints on it and it collects dust super fast.
Honestly I wasn't impressed with the system at all. I really can't see why anyone would spend anything above say $400.00 on it and even if it was that price I still wouldn't get it.
