Thats alotta pre-orders

Yeah, yes I have pre-ordered one from Game.
I want to sell it on ebay, but, very tempted to keep it at the same time. I think I need slapping cuz I might keep it, but, must sell on ebay within first week lol

And then wait for a price drop at some point Cuz, £425, too much imo

Lots of preorders = some people aren't going to get their pre order fulfilled, imo.

I nearly preordered a PS3 myself 10 minutes ago but, I'll just play yours Bex...oh, you're selling it aren't you?

Shows how desperate we are for the PS3 even though Sony dont seem to value Europe in any way .

Yes, yes I am selling it, slap me if I dont lol
Actually hmmmm, loads of pre-orders, sell mine on ebay = make money, but, pre-order another one, and keep one too and will pretty much pay for itself
*Goes to argos to pre-order on their 6months interest free option*


But yup, it does show how desperate we are for a PS3, even at the price, i know i shouldnt get one, but, i want one, and as long as people want em, then, we'll pay for it inc me, i admit it.
