Regretting buying the PS3....

I kinda regret buying a Playstation 3 last november when they first came out, because now it seems like you can get it for much much cheaper. The version most of the true sony fans, as well as i,bought was most likely the 60gb version, sold last november, and now you see people spending only $400 bucks for the same thing. It seems to me that people who are buying them now are actually really lucky as a ton of great games will finally be coming to the PS3 this holiday and they can also get free blu ray movies, games, and other bundles for still cheaper than what it cost us just a year ago. Like you can get a 80gb version with a free motorstorm game for only $500. If i knew this dramatic price drop was gonna happen i probably would have just sold my 60gb version last year on ebay so i can make a huge profit for this holiday season, and get a reasonable price for a PS3 bundle.

Haha I think of that quite often too dude, I got my PS3 Jan 2007. Well we still have backward compatability =]

Try sending in you 5 movie form and see if it works. I remember one person on this board getting their movies with a launch ps3aaron6581230

I was thinking of buying the PS3 when it first came out but then decided to wait for a price drop. It worked since the PS3 is now $400 for the system and $500 for the bundle with motorstorm.

I don't regret my 60gig I'm loving it.

NOW STOP CRYING!!!

You never never never buy things when they first come out. I for one do not feel sorry for you. I love seeing these types of posts, because you are the same type of people that say during launch...OH YEA FIRST ONE WITH PS3 I OWN.

I mean come on unless this was your first system you brought you had to know price would drop. Truthfully yea you should have sold it on EBAY because there were people who would have paid $1000 for it or more. Wonder how they feel now at least ur not them.

P.S. change ur topic to regretting buying PS3 early.

Have a nice day.

pricedrops can never be avoided, and different bundles and such.

yeah, i kinda regret now because some shops have now like packages with some games and my computer 100$ more than that amount without games. but still i feel good about buying it in the first place

thats what you get for being an impatient americanized consumer.

gotta have it.

gotta have it.

gotta have it.

and i got a 60gig for the same price so dont feel bad.

I don't regret it at all. I get full backwards compatibility and I've been enjoying blu-ray movies and PS2/PS3 games for most of this year. And since I bought it earlier, it motivated me to get an HDTV a few months ago, so now I'm all set for what's coming out this season.

If I waited until now, I probably wouldn't be getting an HDTV until next year, and games like HS wouldn't have been the same.

i dont regret anything..
i have had fun while
i have owned my ps3..
nothing can diminish.
the fact i own one..
maybe if gta4
was a 360 exclusive :P

I'm buying it tomorrow and I'm going for the 60g. I want the EE chip.

All I save is $100, I'm passing up the bundle.

i spent 842 $ on my PS3 and i dont regret it one bit! jackle2071

In some Countries the going rate is still a LOT more than that, you were lucky!!!

Buy in on a console at launch and you are almost guaranteed to get screwed. The early PS2's had disk read erros, the 360 had RRoD and the PS3 dropped 33% off the price in 6 months. None of them had games worth playing in the first year either.

That's the price you pay, remember it next time with the XBOX 420 & PS4.

To me, this argument is really only valid for broke people, and honestly, if your so strapped for cash, then you don't belong spending hundreds of dollars on a new generation gaming system and software. Any gamer worth his or her salt shouldn't be worrying about the price drop.

I mean if your going to game that way, then why ever buy a game when it'snew? Just wait 2 years until you can buy said game for 20 or 30 bucks, and then your all good, you can enjoy everything way after it's prime. Because it's the same philosophy, you know in advance that the game and the console are going to drop in price in x amount of time, so either you get with the program and play it now and enjoy it for that extra time, or you wait. If you take option A, you have be ready for that drop and deal with it.

I just don't see what the big deal is, I'm spending 170 bucks on Rock Band alone this month, and my entire game cost for PS3 and 360 just this month, is going to be 650 dollars, just for games, and I'll be enjoying them all winter long. I'm not waiting two years so I can halve that amount. If that's the kind of attitude your going to take, then maybe you shouldn't be gaming. I realize that I'm an adult and have a good paying job and a wife who likes gaming as much as I do, so I probably am in a position to spend more aggressively than a lot of people, but it doesn't change the philosophy.

You can never call your self a real gamer.

You know this would happen would you. It always happen. Why didn't you wait?

I bought my 60GB in the European launch and I don't regret it one bit, because I knew that price cuts were going to happen in a short time because of the competition.

Where have you been?? Any new technology costs tons at the beginning and things always drop in price as they become more mainstream and cheaper to make. Hell I bought a HDTV and a month later it was already 1000 bucks cheaper. and I got at a good price.

exactly...you should've waited if that was the case...like me...I purchased my 60Gb in September and have been having nonstop fun with it since...

Drama queens.... you need to man up.

I don't regret it. I wouldn't have had all the great fun I have had with it.pacomontoya
