I just went to the local pawn shop and asked about PS3's and he said he had a 60GB for $299. I wasn't planning on buying a PS3 today, but when I heard that, I whipped out the credit card quick! He said he had to lower the price because Wal-Mart had brand new one's for $399. Ha! He said no one would buy it because of that. That just goes to show you how dumb people can be. Now, I just need some games! (Thank God it'll play my PS2 games until I can get some, though!)

Thanks for the warm welcome everyone. I have wanted a PS3 since launch, but I thought I wouldn't be able to afford one for years. Man, did I get lucky!

For years? At 399 it's a "years" prospect but at 299 it's an impulse purchase? Amazing the difference a mere 100 bucks will make.

No, I meant the launch price of $599 was a "years" prospect. And about the $399 PS3, I just couldn't bring myself to buy it with the lack of BC. That is an important feature to me.

Nice job man. I'm also glad I bought my 60GB before it was too late. In my opinion it is the best of the four SKUs.

No, it was not factory sealed. It was used and is fairly scratched up. It is just a local pawn shop in a small town in Alabama. But, I bought the last one anyway. They had about 3 of them a few weeks ago, and I guess they could always get more, though. I didn't even get the box or manuals, but for $299, I don't care. It works, and it plays PS2 games. That's what matters to me.

Don't worry about the scratches... mine is really scratched up from apparnetly nothing... so it being scratched up should be worrying at all.

Get Oblivion. I picked up the Game of the Year edition for $29.95 (I personally think someone entered the wrong price.) Even though I had Oblivion already to get the Shivering Isles and a new disk it was worth it. You will get months of play out of it. You got a great deal there on the best system out there. IMHO
