The PlayStation 3 (often abbreviated PS3) is the third home video game console created and released by Sony Computer Entertainment Inc.
I am PISSED!!!!!
I believe PS3s are one of those price controlled products about the only thing you can hope for is a freebie like a game or gift card.

As a kid, I never even got allowance and my family was kinda poor, especially in regards to expenses like this... with having 5 siblings and all. But I've always managed somehow to buy almost every console in existance. I just worked really hard because I was totally enamored with gaming as a kid. My younger brother and I even teamed-up on things, like he was the Sega guy and I was the Nintendo one.
Like I remember painting fences and mowing lawns all summer, just to save-up to get a Super Nintendo /w launch games on release day, which I planned for. Maybe you can do something like this, i.e. working for some extra cash? :)

Not an option. I am not getting rid of my 360" Sell your current console? "
EDIT: Oh wait i forgot i still have a PS2 and a quite a few games to sell it with.
Well good luck with getting the PS3 man it is a great console
" @coolarman: just shop around man some sites sell it at $249 sometimes, but any cheaper than that I doubt it. Check gamestop too they sell refurbished PS3's. The thing you gotta remember is that even if you get just enough for the console, you are still going to need to buy a game for it, demos only hold out for so long. Well good luck with getting the PS3 man it is a great console "Do you know of any PS3 w/ game(s) bundle out there
I think Costco might have one

" @RaikohBlade said:You need to soften them up. Be extra nice to them for a while. Do some extra chores. Then the next time you ask for a PS3, they might feel a little guilty for not getting you one." Just beg your parents. They will break down and get you one eventually.

You don't know them
Though I didn't understand half of what this guy said because of the random letters popping up for some fucked up reason some of the parts I did understand." Dude, if u cant afford it, then DONT buy it. Your just 16 years old. Study hard and get a good job. Then buy whatever video game u want n u also wont have to ask/beg anyone. You could also work part-time. Just do anything. Work as a waiter etc..save up n buy ur game !! "
And those very same parts, sounded like good advice.
Again, I'm not sure..
I r dum..
Hey if you really want PS3 then I would keep checking places like Ebay, Craigslist, and used sellers off of Amazon. But hey honestly, find an auction in your area. I know it's a little weird but sometimes auctions have some great stuff for dirt cheap. I mean sure the reason for the dirt cheapness is usually police repossession or the items are part of a drug bust. Yeah, I know it's kind of odd. But hey, if you're desperate it can't hurt
Pay an old middle eastern man to walk out of a best buy with a cart full of XBOX 360 games. Meanwhile, you walk out beside him with a DVD you didn't pay for in your bag, like..Castaway on Blu Ray or something.
The alarm will go off, detecting the magnetised castaway disk, and you apologize to whoever, pay for castaway, and take all the attention from the old man with the shopping cart full of videogames and a robe to cover them.
Meet the old man outside and throw him a hundred bucks for his co operation, and head over to your nearest EB games or Gamestop and trade in your games for store credit. They're scumbags too so they won't
be suspicious of some stupid kids with a thousand dollars worth of sealed brand new videogames. And there you have it, buy as many PS3's as you can with your trade in money, and sell any PS3's you don't need on craiglist.
That could work in theory.
I think that to buy a PS3 you need 2 jobs ! That is what the Sony Execs recommended anyway...
If you are that strapped for cash, don't you realize that once you get a new system, you are gonna want new games...
that is where the 3rd job comes into play.

Not having a PS3 is not the end of the world. You have a 360 anyway, so its not like you're missing out on the current gen.
"I don't understand why a lack of cheap PS3's would make you "pissed"... "
Well if I had no money at all, I would be pissed AND scared ...
