Just thought I would post this here because I didn't see anywhere else to post it. I'll put her on eBay soon so if interested let me know. PM me with offers. I can sell it for $750 if paying with paypal. If you pay with a money order I will lower the price since I won't have to pay any paypal fees. I'll post pics if needed. I just got it last night so I'll have to take some pics tonight. I've sold stuff on silveradoss.com and I'm an eBay power seller.

bump to the top:bang: If it don't sell I'll just keep it. I might pickup a game for the system tonight. What's the best games available for these? Wal-Mart also has a 20 Gig system so if anybody is interested in that just let me know. My eBay id is pro_audio_superstore in case you want to check out my feedback rating(over 2000).

Hey Jeremy, you guys still have a shortage of PS3 where your at? I'm in Calgary, in Canada and we've got lots of PS3's in stock going for $650, that's less than $600US for the 60gb. Looks like I'll have to stroll over to Walmart to pick up a few...just curious...

Just FYI, Best Buy (both .com and local stores) have had the 60GB in stock for at least the past 3 days for $599, comes out to about $650 with tax.
Yep, BB & Walmart have them on the shelves here in Colorado Springs. I walked out of Walmart w/one today. I hooked it up to somebody's wireless internet around my house here to download the update for it. Maybe in about an hour I'll get to bust out some Madden 07. I also bought NBA07 & Fight Nights I've seen both games looks amazing and fun.
Games are crazy expensive for the PS3. I'm considering the x-box 360. Too bad it doesn't come with the HD player. The PS3's are still rare around my area. I thought about keeping this one but still undecided on it or the x-box 360. The PS3 games are like $60 a pop and x-box 360 games are half that price. I wonder which HD DVD format will win out(Sony' Blue Ray or HD DVD)?PGARTHW8 said:

Blu-Ray should win out. Blu-Ray is at the beginning of it's technology lifespan. HD-DVD is at the end. But who knows, Beta was better too. GameSpot close by has 2 in stock. My friend's brother bought 4 of them last week from Best Buy and can't make a buck on them on eBay.
I wonder why Blue-Ray players are like a $1K and the PS3 with a Blue-Ray player is only $499 & $599. If I don't sell it I might take it back to Wal-Mart or keep it. I'm leaning toward the x-box 360 because of game selection and price.rod_b said:

This is because Sony is taking a loss on all PS3s sold in an attempt to try and get bluray players into the average consumer's homeSSThunder said:

There is a fair bit of documentation on the web about Sony's strategy. I believe it's to try and get the bluray players out in massive numbers so they have a better chance at winning this format war and also they are probably hoping on making money on the games.....
The big difference is that Blu-ray is supposed to be able to support up to 50gig per disk while HD-DVD is limited to 30gig.
They both have quite a bit of DRM in them, though a big reason Microsoft chose HD-DVD over Blu-Ray because there is alot more of it in Blu-Ray, not because Sony developed it and they compete in games. As I understand it, Microsoft thought they were going overboard.
Another big reason is that HD-DVD disks can be made using existing manufacturing facilities with relatively minor, and relatively inexpensive changes to the existing facility. The drives are much cheaper at this point as well. Blue lasers are not easy to make apparantly.
I think the only issue with the Microsoft drive, and the XBox is that it doesn't have an HDMI interface, which will become important when the studios start enforcing the use of HDCP. I'm OK with that as the plasma set I got 3 years ago doesn't have an HDMI interface and I won't be buying another set for 5 years probably.
The $200 for the XBox drive is a steal if you already have the XBox, and the component output is excellent.
Quality of image is indistinguishable between the two.

For those of you choosing which one to buy between the 360 and PS3, I have made a list of peripherals and things you must buy to get the 360 up to PS3 specs.
ok here we go.
Prices taken from Amazon.com
XBOX 360 Core System: $299.00
XBOX 360 Wireless Controller: $37.99
XBOX 360 Wireless Network Adapter: $87.99
XBOX 360 20Gb Hard Drive (x3 to match PS3's 60Gb, which isn't possible so Microsoft will be releasing a 80Gb Hard Drive soon, but that wont be cheap either): $179.97
XBOX 360 HD-DVD Player: $199.99
Total: $804.94
Oh and you also have to pay to play online with XBOX Live...another 50 bucks a year.
So if you want bang for your buck, then the PS3 is the way to go.

Looks pretty much like the same misleading list that Sony came up with. That's desperation.
How about:
XBox360 Platinum system: $399 (comes with wireless stuff you mentioned and 20Gb HDD)
HD-DVD player for same: $200
I don't actually need the extra hard disk space and you can't put 3 in it anyway, so like I said - misleading...
Have fun on Sony's oh so user friendly live system. Reviews give it a zero. And XBox live Silver is free. Gold costs. Once again being misleading. What's the point of that? You must have known you'd be called on it...

I agree with Rob b and Kenny. I think Blu Ray will win. I think Sony learned their lesson with Beta and Mini Disc. This time they have the support of way more movie studios which means that theoretically more movies will be released on Blue Ray, plus it has more space per disc so it will probably be more well received by the computer industry. That said, I own an Xbox 360 w/ HD DVD player. I'm waiting for prices to drop on Blu ray players, then Ill buy one. I also dont plan on buying any HD DVD discs, I just rent them on Netflix. BTW, I work in the Home Theater/AV community so thats what Im basing my info on. Im not just a techie hobbyist.

The Platinum system only comes with a wireless controller and 20gb hard-drive. You would still have to buy the adapter to receive Wi-Fi signals.ksj said:

Platinum XBOX 360: $399.00
Network Adapter: $87.99
HD-DVD Player: $200.00
You end up paying more for less.
Now there's a rumor that Microsoft will be releasing an updated XBOX 360 called (as of now) the XBOX 360 Zephyr, which has HDMI capable of 1080p and a 120Gb hard-drive. This reminds me of what Peter Jackson or George Lucas do with their movies on DVDs. First its just a usual DVD, then the Special Edition, then the Director's Cut, then the Collector's Edition, then the Super Special Uncut Remastered Legendary Collector's Edition.
