Did the guy just fuck up his starting price or is there something like "box only" that I'm not seeing?

The seller fucked up on his "Buy it now" price. Some lucky bastard got a PS3 for $0.99 before shipping.

eBay will let him crawfish on it given that it was a legitimate and costly typo.

I went into a Pet Store and the guy who owned it was selling a PS3. I asked him how much it was....


... he said $1500.

I almost fainted. Who the hell would pay that much??

I find it hilarious, how people will buy the first generation of a new console. Add in the fact that they buy it for three or four times the retail value. They deserve what they get.

I always wondered why the hell people do this.

I mean.. you get to play those games a few weeks before everyone else. Yay? What's it all about, simply bragging rights?

We want what others have. Some people out there are using the Wiimote and Nunchuck to aim and snipe something with Link's bow and arrow. And I could be doing it too. /crai

I prefer to call it the Nintendo Entertainment Remote, or the "Wii NER", for short.

The jokes pretty much write themselves.

Except Nintendo consoles. They're built like rocks, so there's nothing wrong with getting a first gen.

Except for some people on SA with bricks, wigging out controllers, and some other minor stuff. You're still far better off with it than a PS3(probably, eBay has really skewed us from seeing many failures show up yet) or a launch 360 though.

Friend of mine got a faulty power cable.

Even so, it's really difficult to beat Nintendo's warranty and repair service if your system DOES have a problem.

I was in the Virgin Islands once. I met a girl, we ate lobster, drank piƱa coladas. At sunset, we made love like sea otters. That was a pretty good day. Why couldn't I get that day over, and over?

Truth hurts, don't it

Ironically I also bashed the PS3, and I also bashed the 360 for a while before it came out, and nobody said anything about that.

Tech-wise, he's right.

A Wii, graphics-wise, is nothing more than a souped-up Gamecube.

The big difference is the controller and how games are played on it.

And Maradon, you may have bashed the 360 and the PS3 as well, but the things you've said about those consoles don't come anywhere near your consistent trolling of Wii threads, and your apparent insatiable hate towards the Wii, GC, and Nintendo in general.

COME ON AT LEAST SOME OF IT IS FUNNY

Take the powerglove link I just posted. I didn't mean that shit, that was just being absurd for the fun of it.

I'd say if you remove all the stuff that I quite obviously was not serious about, then the sum total of my wii bashing is at least equal to the sum total of my bashing of any other system.

Well, apart from the fact that I quite seriously don't think the wii is worth buying because it's long obsolete technology and I'm still not convinced that Nintendo has left behind it's kiddy-shit phase anyway.

Actually, that's pretty comparable to my gripes with the PS3 now that I think of it.

Accuracy of his statements be damned, the reactions to Maradon's Nintendo jabs are sources of much hilarity.

I picture miniature George C. Scotts flailing around in the War Room, screaming about possible mineshaft gaps and the imminent commie threat.
