Oh, I see. The demand for the 299$ ps3 slim is so great, that anything else, even a 299$ ps3slim with 100$ rebate in a few months isn't good enough.

I guess that means ps3 sales next week will be 300k in NA and all the other consoles will be in the negative. Ok, I'm happy now

My point in telling people to not take advantage of this deal isn't to deter people from getting a $199 PS3, it's to keep people from taking a bad deal.

  1. It will take about 3 months to get the $100 back.
  2. The interest rate is going to make that $100 back more like $40-50.
  3. You're going to mess with your credit rating possible screwing you in the future.
  4. You can probably find just as good as deal with a little searching that won't hold your money in limbo for 3 months and won't mess with your credit.

There's a reason they can offer this deal-- they know the interest is high and they know chances are you will screw up.  Don't let them take advantage of you, find a better deal elsewhere that doesn't have so many strings attached.
