Forums - Sony - Geek Squad will HELP SET UP your PS3 for $129 only! (RIP-OFF)!!

GranTurismoHelperMax on 19 September 2009

If its called geek squad, some geek must of thought of this brilliant idea.



Above I'm a proud Gran Turismo fan, not a Sony fanboy, and now a proud 360 owner, but sharing xbox live accts ATM

End of 2009 Predictions (made Jan 1, 2009): My predictions were pretty accurate, the 360 was over and the Wii was just under.

Wii: 65 mil (yea I'm crazy) 360: 35 mil (its getting there) PS3: 30 mil (the slim better do well)

End of 2010 Predictions (made Jan 7, 2010):

Wii: 81 mil  360: 47 mil PS3: 45 mil

Why would you need to have it set up? Is the PS3 more difficult to set up or something?

1) ps3 set up is identical in difficulty to a 360.

2) geek squad will charge the same to set up a 360 or a wii.

3) yes, people do buy this shit.  my girlfriend's dad is one of those peoople.  he recently bought a sound bar for which the only set-up was to plug in the speaker, plug in the optical audio cord, and set the TV to send sound to an external device.  American wanted to charged $200 for the service of setting it up.  He did finally agree to let me set it up for him (free) but he was really worried I wouldn't be able to figure it out.

I would imagine maybe an old guy wouldnt know if he got a ps3 for his kids, but anyway its really expensive, Im sure people could get some friend to go to their homes that understood about electronics and did this for free.

i got another one for ya.

so i'm sitting down waiting for the train after work.  Some guy sits down next to me, sees me playing my ds starts talking to me.  he just wanted to know a bit about the ds as a system but then he tells me the most unbelievable story (imo).  it was shortly after the holiday and the ps3 is at the time just a bit over a year old which means that you, i, anyone could easily walk into any store and buy a ps3 for $400.  but noooo....this guy starts bragging to me about how for the holidays he got his kids a ps3.  he said something to the effect of "i was browsing craigslist and i found this guy who was willing to give me a great deal on a used ps3.  yeah, he only charged me $1500."    i nodded politly but inside i died a little.
