Playstation 3 120gb on black market?

Postby Spelled » Sun Feb 28, 2010 8:02 pm

So now that the Wii era is over, these little fuckers have now started hoarding up on PS3 120GB. It is nowhere to be found. They sell it for 50-60 more bucks on eBay though the funny thing is you can a $349 250GB version of it so I fail to understand why people would buy the same price 120GB versions on eBay.

But my actual question is, can you guys help me out finding a 120GB PS3 for its ticket price?

Cheers...

Are you in a hurry? Amazon order works but 1-2 month queues it seems.

1. Who is Spelled?

2. Bet number one, check regular retailers, and by "regular retailers" I mean... well, local/regional retail chains. We've got 2 sitting at the Meijer I work at right now (I was back there seeing how much a regular DS for pokemon trading would run me, short answer: much more than ebay for a used DS). Places like this (general retail + grocery) get limited stock, but it's hardly anyone's first choice for a game system because they're not really KNOWN for it, no big sales or bundle deals or anything like that.

Weirdly, my reply never showed up...

Check smaller retail chains. I work at a Meijer currently, and I can tell you we have 2 in store that have been there for weeks.

Best bet would be checking smaller regional chains that have general merchandise attached. For example, Meijer makes most of its money on weekly grocery sales, but still does steady business for random junk too.

I got lucky with RadioShack. Took them 10 days to ship it to store but I got my first taste of 1080p gaming just yesterday. Cheers.
