Also, that $350 offer seems nice. I would look at the details on that CC first though. But I don't think it can be that bad.

I looked at the details of the CC. There are no fees or hidden membership dues. As long as you make your payments on time, the interest rate is 0% for an introductory period, 15% thereafter. If you miss a payment or are late, they jump to 32% (ouch!). The best thing to do would be to get the card, buy the PS3, make your payments on time and pay it off before the 0% interest rate ends. Then cancel it, cut it up, and thank sony from the bottom of your heart for their generosity.


Those details aren't pretty but those aren't the worst ones. The worst detail is the you have to make the purchase by August 31st and there's a decent chance you're not going to get the credit card by then.

As for opening and closing credit cards really quickly, that raises red flags on your credit. I don't know if it would hurt too much with just a one time thing but opening and closing credits like that is just generally a bad idea.

-edit-

And don't take this as a don't get a PS3 statement, just trying to save you some grief. If you dig the games on the PS3 by all means get it, just don't let yourself be ripped off.


No, you are wrong. You only have to make a purchase by Nov. 31st. You only have to apply by Aug. 31st. I think I am repeating myself, because I already said this.



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.
