OverClocked ReMix...

Lemme put it this way: Parents with the money will be able to choose between putting a PS3 under the tree for their kid, or an X360, a Wii, and every last game for both systems, if they don't buy them retail, or first round of eBay.

I expect to see people buy PS3 systems, put them for sale on eBay, then have the same system go back up on eBay at least one more time, after it's been sold and delivered.

That, or half of the consoles will be featured in various episodes of Pimp My Ride, doubling the price of the car, no matter how excessively overpriced the vehicle may be.

I may actually buy 2 PS3 and sell one.

Good luck with that.

The day that the PS3 comes out it's going to be hard enough to find and buy one.

That would be the only way I would buy one. Its expected that they'll sell for about 2k since they're going to be really short stocked. (A local video game chain is only getting 2.) Make 1400 profit, use that towards a PS3 and some games. But like I said, theres going to be a LOT of people wanting one, so its going to be real hard. I'm going to try and camp a no-name walmart somewhere.

Meh, I have my ways...

Plus if you are in a very far off place, like a small town that strangely enough has big store chains due to summer people, it may be easier than you think.

This PS3 delay is worse than I thought. 400k units is horrible.

Hopefully it won't be too much of a hassle to get a system. I know it will be hell here in Japan. It's STILL hard to find a DS Lite here. I've only seen one for the retail price at a store and I didn't have enough cash in my pocket at the time to buy it. PSP was the same deal. Took me forever to find one and I had to buy it used at full price. It's going to be crazy trying to get a Japanese PS3. Might just wait a while until I don't have to camp out to find it. $600 isn't that much money to me, but I hate having to hunt day and night for a system. I'm betting Sony will try to rely on the hype machine like with the PS2 and PSP to drive sales, but if people are already on the fence about the PS3 the lack of units might just drive them away for good. The 360 is looking like a better and better investment. I plan on getting both anyway, so I'll be happy with a 360 for a year or so until I can just walk into a store and buy a PS3 at a possibly reduced price. The Wii... meh.
