wow they go for that much on ebay? maybe I should sell the one I have before Christmas. I've had one unopened since a month ago. Got it as an early birthday present and haven't had time to use it yet ...
I feel bad selling gifts though, so I guess I won't

I bought mine at an Fye. Except I asked a guy at gamestop before i went to fye and he laughed when i said i'd like to buy a Wii and said "wouldn't we all." God what a douche.
Yeah not the best timing Carl.

6 months and itll be like this for the PS3 when GTA4 hits the shelves.
Buying 10 PS3's now at cut price would be such an investment

Not really since GTA 4 is coming out for XBox 360 also. Maybe when Gran Turismo, Final Fantasy 13 or MGS 4 come out for PS3 that would happen.

what do you mean? what about the ps3 is more expensive? games are the same as the 360. controllers are the same. the system is a bit more but you don't have to buy certain peripherals for it either. what do you mean?

xbox will win 2008 because it already has an established user base since they came out first and have already had several stellar titles. Also, since they've been producing them longer they will continue to drop prices and stay under the PS3 which is huge for future sales. This is especially true as the second gen xbox games are coming out and there are already 1st gen discounted. Right now, xboxes are $300 and ps3 are $400-500. That's not a negligible difference. Additionally Microsoft is about breaking even on the xboxes now and Sony is still taking a big loss.
Arguing is fucking retarded. This is the 5th or 6th generational war and there are proven track records for what's successful. Xbox will sell more games, and will probably sell more units. Nintendo will quietly make more money than either from the DS and pokemon.

the ps3 def won't "crush" the xbox. i just meant the ps3 will do a TON better next year compared to this year. xbox prob will do better still, but it will be a much closer race i think.

i am pissed in general about how everything is more expensive basically. i guess i just mentioned ps because i never bought/ payed any attention to xbox prices. and the wii is cheaper and i am a fan of nintendo since thats what i grew up on.

So I've been saving points for a PS3 (need like 1k more) and I noticed today that all the consoles were taken out of the FPP store. I sent them an email and this is the response:
Hello Robert,
Our suppliers have informed us that they expect to those items back in
stock shortly. We expect to have them available within 2 weeks in our VIP
FPP store.
If you need assistance with anything else, please do not hesitate to
contact us as we will gladly assist you 24/7.
Regards,
William
PokerStars VIP Team
So if you haven't gotten a Wii yet Leg, you should be able to order one soon.
