one would think lilbroex would be tired of being wrong, guess not. OT, Chandler already hit the nail on the head.

Awe, passive agression. How cute. I would have to be wrong first to be tired, and history says that I'm not in this case.

The PS3 price gouging lasted only for a moment and at its highest point, it wasn't that high.

Note that I'm talking about the actual "real event results" not what people theorized would happen(like the the article the dude posted).

People certainly "attempted" to gouge with the PS3 but it was unrealistic and they got little to no sells in the short time frame that it was viable. In case you forgot the original statement was that "it works everytime". They tried with the PS3, but ,like I siaid, it didn't work. So, sorry to burst your bubble.

 

I would like to see someone who actually spent $10,000 for a PS3, though.

You are wrong.

It didn't work with the PS3.

You said "It didn't work for the PS3" which is referring to Francis' comment on selling new consoles well over retail price at launch.

Yet it did.

From the PS3s launch on November 11th until just after Christmas 2006 the PS3's price on Ebay was anywere from $800 to $1200 regularly. However, unlike the Wii, it dropped back to normal very quickly as stock become normalized in January. Wii on the other hand kept very high prices on Ebay for nearly two years due to limited to no stock; especially during 2006 and 2007 holiday seasons.

I live on Ebay. I know for a fact PS3s were at leat $800 and right after black friday up to $1200 for a short time. (i.e. people paid 2x the price for one) I was kicking myself for not doing that for Wii (2006 and 2007) and ps3 (2006).

That article confirms exactly what I said.
