CAGiversary!
Finally paid off my PS4!! can't wait till Nov 15th.
I wasn't in a position to purchase when ps3 launched, but the supply/demand worked out for me. Found a scalper who had passed his return period on craigslist and got a 60gb one for a ps2 slim, $50, and a laptop I had purchased 9 months earlier for about $300.I remember when the PS3 launched and people were trying to flip them. Turns out that the demand was a lot lower then supply. Then the flippers got all pissy when they returned them to Gamestop and had to wait two weeks for their refund checks.
Butthurt flipper: "What? TWO WEEKS!? I spent my rent money trying to resell this. I need the money now!"
GS Employee: "Sorry. But we don't keep $600 cash in the drawer. Cooperate will mail you a check."
lol. Those were good times. I hope the same thing happens the XBone flippers.
Just have them pay for it and then ship it to them.Is there a way to give someone a amazon preorder? I have the DS4 bundle preordered but I don't think I am going to get it.
Sony has been pretty straightforward. They stated last week that they will have a great supply at launch and those that didn't pre-order will probably be able to get one fairly quickly. MS remains to be seen.Stop debating guys...
This shit will come back in stock just in time after a peak amount of hype has built up that it is sold out everywhere.
I checked out multiple international sites that were still taking pre-orders as little as 5 days ago. Trust me, sony and MS have a ton of units. This is just a ploy to make gullible consumers get all hyped up and throw down the cash asap as soon as they see the product come back into stock.

This - I do stuff like this often. Whoever you want to give/trade it to just have them buy an amazon gc for the amount, apply it to your account, then apply it to your preorder and change the shipping address to theirs. This is also handy for 'buy two get x' discounts/promos that Amazon does as you can ship each individual item to a different location, so you can go halvsies with a fellow cag.Just have them pay for it and then ship it to them.
In 2014, sure. A couple weeks after launch, hell no.Late to the party here. Anyone think they will have some Black Friday/Cyber Monday sales/bundles?
Why don't you want this awesome system?Wow, anger issues.
I pre-ordered both systems because I wasn't sure which I'd want. I decided I don't want the PS4, so why not make a profit that's there? People had plenty of time to pre-order. Sorry most people don't have the foresight to pre-order then decide later.
I'm sorry if I offended anyone for asking a simple question. Typically this community is much better than this. \
Edit:
Also, I'd never rip off a fellow CAGer. I doubt that CHEAP Ass Gamers would want to pay they ebay cost of PS4. They're too intelligent for that.
No, I think you'll have a hard enough time finding a PS4 before Christmas, let alone a "deal".Late to the party here. Anyone think they will have some Black Friday/Cyber Monday sales/bundles?
you will be able to find both systems sony has already said they are doing everything they can to meet demandNo, I think you'll have a hard enough time finding a PS4 before Christmas, let alone a "deal".
Everything they can is no guarantee.you will be able to find both systems sony has already said they are doing everything they can to meet demand
it's not but i think they will not be hard to find for months on end my guess is we will see another big shipment to stores for bf and then a week or so after that another shipment.Everything they can is no guarantee.
I can see bundles for MSRP and maybe they'll toss in a PS+ subscription at a discount for Black FridayLate to the party here. Anyone think they will have some Black Friday/Cyber Monday sales/bundles?
Haha. I'm sorry, too, cuz I posted in the wrong thread; thought you posted the photo in response to someone who questioned your first post (can't remember which thread that was in...maybe they hid their post or I'm all confused and need a break...lol)I didn't know there was a thread. I just got the email and posted. Sorry.
$250 bones to play android games on my tv? Me thinks not!!:/ still apprehensive about jumping for launch consoles. o.o right now I'm just amazed mad catz is now jumping into the game with their own android console. I remember it was like 10 years ago mad catz brand stuff was cheap and unreliable.. now suddenly during this past gen they've reinvented themselves.
Android games on a TV?$250 bones to play android games on my tv? Me thinks not!!
Sadly, I think I'll be canceling my launch day PS4 preorder on Amazon. I have the PS4 paid off with gift cards but there aren't any launch titles that I want to play any more than the 150+ physical and digital games in my backlog of PS3/Vita/360 games. I've had every console since the NES days and I know I'll get a PS4 eventually. I think I need to worry about tackling the ever-growing backlog for now, though.
I had a ton of games in my backlog for a while, I'm finally within 10 games now. I just had to learn that i don't have to take advantage of every deal posted here on CAG, since most of the games would be even cheaper if i waited to buy them, until i actually had the time to play them.Sadly, I think I'll be canceling my launch day PS4 preorder on Amazon.

Sorry I mis-worded that. I meant more along the lines of likely in stock. Not a "deal".I can see bundles for MSRP and maybe they'll toss in a PS+ subscription at a discount for Black Friday
I'm confused. I changed the payment on both of mine on amazon, and they still have guaranteed delivery on Nov 15.So changing payment method on Amazon gives up your spot in line, but what about upgrading shipping? I plan to re-up on Prime in November, and switch my order to *hopefully* free release date shipping, or ~$10 one day shipping.
eBay or Sony shouldn't allow any to be sold, period. A least until after launch. That's money being stolen out of Sony's pocket.why are the ps4 going for $1000 on ebay? ebay has a policy where presales can't be sold until 30 days before launch. so actually there SHOULD BE NO PS4s BEING SOLD ON EBAY!
I see some Buy-It-Now's asking $1000 but the ones with bids are in the low $600 range. After ebay and PayPal fees, the resellers are not really making that much (especially if an issue comes up).why are the ps4 going for $1000 on ebay? ebay has a policy where presales can't be sold until 30 days before launch. so actually there SHOULD BE NO PS4s BEING SOLD ON EBAY!
Can anyone explain why people are selling PS4 purchase tickets from Walmart on eBay? I figure that it wouldn't work to take a PS4 pre-order from one store to another but people are making $30 - $70 on these.
They are just posting those to prove they have the pre-order. You aren't buyign the "slip".Can anyone explain why people are selling PS4 purchase tickets from Walmart on eBay? I figure that it wouldn't work to take a PS4 pre-order from one store to another but people are making $30 - $70 on these.
eBay will abide by any guidelines Sony establishes. None-the-less eBay would prefer to make a profit today as opposed to waiting until November. Those that are rightfully selling on eBay have pre-orders of which adds to Sony's momentum. PS4's going for $2999 on eBay is surprisingly good for everyone (Sony, eBay, brick and mortar stores, online retailers, those that were able to purchase one or several) with the exception of those that were unable to obtain one.eBay or Sony shouldn't allow any to be sold, period.

Only 8? ROFL (and NOT in the anti-scalper way)WOW... 8 PS4's... just wow (and not in the good way)
