    He still has not received a single bid. You can list anything on eBay, at any price you like. But if you don't find a buyer it don't mean beans.

    Any PS3 auctions starting at Cdn$1,200 will be ignored now. All those that have no bids had starting bids higher than Cdn$1,200

    I totally agree....


    I'm not shelling out 6 C notes for a PS3, they can go pound sand...

    Plus, I love the motion aspect of the Wii controller!

    I predict Nintendo is going to take back the market they lost to Sony back in the early/mid 90's.... I mean, after all, graphics can only get soo good. Obviously there's a difference between the old 8 bit Nintendo and today's PS2, but far less then, IMO, then PS2 to PS3, or high end computer graphics...

    This was a really odd console launch. It wasn't about crazy game fans willing to sleep on the streets for a game system. This was the equivalent of telling people that stores across the country were giving out $1000 in cash if you invested $600. People saw the pre-launch ebay prices and knew that if they slept in the street for a few days they could make some money. I have done it myself in the past. If I get my hands on more than one hot videogame system right before christmas then I play with one and sell the rest.

    I have been a longtime game fan and I pretty much manage to get every system on launch day. This time my friends and I realized that there wasn't a single ps3 game that we wanted to play, so we'll just wait (or is that Wii just wait). I'll probably pick up a Wii as soon as the stores start getting regular shipments.

    Just as I was starting to feel depressed, you gave me hope. I can always count on you for this!

    When I lived in Mexico I joined Internet Chess Club (ICC). There's a monthly fee, but in my opinion it's worth it for the support and system quality that a free club cannot provide. I quit because of the Mexican phone system: phone line quality had improved a lot, but still had enough noise to cut off a modem connection in the middle of games.

    I have not joined again because starting a game is a committment to stay to the end. With a program I can kill a few minutes on a quick game, or save and resume a game any time I like.

    Also, I don't care if I lose to the program. Against a human player I take it too seriously. But I might join again. I would definitely go the pay route. I really think the service and the system is better, and worth it.
