All things serve the Beam
Ok ... just by the title of this thread, you can guess that I am the mother of teenage boys, eh?
The rare and elusive Play Station 3 ... vastly overpriced and rarer than hen's teeth ... and I got one tonight for my son for Christmas!
No one is going to appreciate this pointless thread unless you, too, have been hoping and searching to make Sony $600 richer by Christmas.

"All that is gold does not glitter, Not all those who wander are lost; The old that is strong does not wither, Deep roots are not reached by the frost. From the ashes a fire shall be woken, A light from the shadows shall spring; Renewed shall be blade that was broken, The crownless again shall be king." - J.R.R. Tolkien

$600!How did you manage that?! What a lucky son!
The only way someone can manage to get one here is to buy one off someone else. They're going for $1000+

You are indeed one of the lucky ones to get it for $600. You have very lucky boys! My friend was lucky to find one in a store too, so he also paid $600. I can't believe all the people paying over $1000 on ebay for one, it's so ridiculous.
I too thought $600 was too much money for any gaming system, but my husband broke it down and justified it to me. The fact that it plays blu-ray alone justifies the price, I don't think you can get a blu-ray DVD player for under $1000. I believe it also up-scales your regular DVDs to HD, I'm not 100% sure though. It has wireless built in so you don't have to buy a separate adapter- they run $100 if you have to buy them separate. I can't remember all of what he told me to convince me that $600 was actually a reasonable price.
We'll get one someday, but right now all our 'extra' money is buying baby things.

Lucky you got home in one piece.... there's news reports around here of people being held at gunpoint after leaving the store with one!
My dad works at Walmart and they often have people standing in line in hopes of getting one..... 20-30 people, and all they have is one or two units.
