PROBLEM RESOLUTION:

 

Yeah, I think I'll keep it. I have nothing to lose by keeping it.

Thanks for all the input.

If a mod sees this please lock my thread, before it becomes a flame war. :P



I would cite regulation, but I know you will simply ignore it.

You dont own a ps3. If you had one you wouldnt sell it. I dont care about what mods or anyone else thinks, I will say it your an xbox fan trying to make the ps3 look bad, just the other day you said halo3 would be everything, and now you say nothing on ps3 interests you. Ive been through this situation before stop lying and Im leaving this thread peace..

It's very early in the PS3's life, it has another very good 4-5 years (or more) left ahead of it and will lhave some pretty amazing exclusive games. But if the money is bothering you think of it this way, it's not like this is a yearly thing you have to pay out on, you won't have to again until 2012 or longer.

Yup, some of these people are acting like it costs you money just to have the damn thing.


Of course it does. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/opportunity cost


 Looks like somebody took a lower level Economics course!  But seriously, I love Economics humor (I was the only one in our high school who took the Microeconomics AP Test along with the Macro (the one they taught)), so I got a good chuckle out of what you said.



We had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a salt shaker half full of cocaine, a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers…Also a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of beer, a pint of raw ether and two dozen amyls.  The only thing that really worried me was the ether.  There is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible and depraved than a man in the depths of an ether binge. –Raoul Duke

It is hard to shed anything but crocodile tears over White House speechwriter Patrick Buchanan's tragic analysis of the Nixon debacle. "It's like Sisyphus," he said. "We rolled the rock all the way up the mountain...and it rolled right back down on us...."  Neither Sisyphus nor the commander of the Light Brigade nor Pat Buchanan had the time or any real inclination to question what they were doing...a martyr, to the bitter end, to a "flawed" cause and a narrow, atavistic concept of conservative politics that has done more damage to itself and the country in less than six years than its liberal enemies could have done in two or three decades. -Hunter S. Thompson

Econ minor, actually.

Seriously. If you're not getting any value out of an asset, liquidate it and try your luck somewhere else. That's not just economics, that's common sense.

Leo-J that is uncalled for. I am probably the most anti-MS non-troll on these boards. Look at my f'n post history, I have had one positive post about 360. It was about the line up of games for $29.99. I went on a rant about how I think MS execs should go to jail last week.

 

Some of my non-trolling Anti MS posts:

 in reference to really cheap 360 used "Except even the Elite doesn't have the 65nm chips, and you don't get the 3 year warranty."

I am currently not a big PS3 fan, but I don't think you should sell it, I personally believe that people lose more money buy buying and selling consoles/games, because at the end of the day they've spent lots of money and have nothing to show for it.

Chalk it up to a lesson learned (that it's never a bad idea to wait to buy new tech, b/c it always comes down in price and usually goes up in quality), and wait for the game drought to end. I'm sure there will be one or two games coming out that will interest you, or rent some from gamefly or blockbuster, a good way to enjoy mediocre games for cheap. Also, home is coming out, it may be interesting too.

Also, I'd hate to see you sell it, and then Sony announces some uber amazing game that makes you want to go out and rebuy the console, then stuck with another hard choice, forego the game or waste more money.

Yeah, sell it, I will think of you when I am loving Final Fantasy XIII and Versus XIII. :P

Lennon: That is exactly the reason why.  I don't want to sit here twiddling my thumbs while you punks are playing FFXIII 

 King: I still appreciate your info.  Better late than never.
