I’m a gamer, but a PC gamer. Especially when you look at the price of the Playstation 3, in my mind I can buy a cheap laptop for that price (not one that will play games, mind you). Honestly, I prefer playing with a keyboard and mouse, also.
So I definitely wouldn’t risk my life standing in line for a PS3, nor would I pay $15,000 for one.
We nearly fell off of our chairs when it went to $15,000 with mere seconds to go; and finally the winner of the hotly contested bidding war, which began at $1, was a user from the UK who bid $15,100 to become to proud new owner of a Playstation 3. Source: TG Daily
As the article pointed out, you could buy a car for this price! Sure, the guy must have some real disposable income, but come on. If you want to spend about $14,500 over the list price (basically throwing it away, if you just weren’t so impatient), how about using that $14K for oh, say, charity?
