Pallets of PS3's at Hillsboro Costco

Corkie Monster · 12-11-2006, 04:51 PM

Three pallets just arrived about an hour ago at Hillsboro Costco and nobody knows about them. I think they were $699.99

Go get'em

There only $700 I will wait a little bit until they are cheaper.

Chrome Bumper · 12-11-2006, 07:52 PM

Well I hope they get those pallets cleaned off quick so I can burn them(the pallets) up for fuel.

thresher · 12-11-2006, 09:08 PM

well if nobody knows about them then how do you know?

Just kidding

"well if nobody knows about them then how do you know?"

I saw them there last night as well. Two employees stationed there to make sure no one took more than 1. I was surprised they werent' flying off the palletts. Maybe no one knew. Maybe the console game units have finally reached their price limit.

I met the Sony gal the other night and we talked a little about the system. She services the stores the carry the games and the game systems. She also said don't count on the price coming down any time soon and don't count on it coming down much when it does.

$700 sounds like alot of new fishing gear to me!

I bought my PS2 secondhand, paid $75 bucks for it and it works great. Im not a hard core gamer by any means, but it kills some time when its pouring outside and the fish arent biting!

700.00 FOR A VIDEO GAME. In 4 years it will be a outdated pile of junk at a yard sale for 75.00. "PLEASE"

If you don't want to by a game system for $700 then don't buy one. That doesn't seem very hard to understand. What is hard to understand is why anybody would rain on somebody else's parade. Does it make you feel better somehow? Sheesh. There are people that want one and have the money to pay for one. So what? It's Christmas people. Lighten up.

Fishingfanatic · 12-12-2006, 11:40 AM

actually these new video game systems are more like full blown computers now than they are video game consols like the old nintendo's. SOme of them have 60 gig HDs and they all are dvd players and other stuff.

the ps 3 is also a blue ray player, price a blue ray player and see what they cost without the gaming ability. The last one i saw was arround 800.00 just for a blue ray player, if you look at it that way it's not a bad buy.

ORrinker · 12-12-2006, 01:04 PM

I was just at the Hillsboro Costco and they told me that they had sold the last one 10 minutes before I got there:-(

Some might say the same thing about sitting in front of a $700 computer reading an internet fishing site everyday.

I do appologize, by agreeing with johndeergreen i wasn't implyng that anyone was stupid for buying one or purposly trying to hurt anyones feelings, it was just an opinion, I mean shoot some of you Chevy and Dodge guys might say the same thing about my 2005 F150 i bought last year for what seemed like too much money but i bought it anyways and enjoy it very much, So again i Do appologize.

Happy Holidays to all

dlgobeavs · 12-12-2006, 03:44 PM

Thanks Corkie Monster... nice of you to tip-off the folks at Ifish! I'm not a gamer myself, but getting an insider scoop on where they are available, sure is a nice holiday gesture!!!

It's okay, John Deere could've went about it a little better. He's right though, it will be worth about $150 bucks in 4 years, but some poeple can't wait that long

I won't be buying one until the price comes down around $400, and they actually have some games out.

Cool Texan · 12-12-2006, 03:58 PM

Cars do the same thing...yet we all buy them. So do boats. So do all of our other electronic purchases.

Wang · 12-12-2006, 04:06 PM

They will probably hold there value better then home PC's.
I played it the other day for the first time and really loved the graphics, but not enough to replace my PS2.

wootersen · 12-12-2006, 05:56 PM

Mighty nice of you to give us the Heads Up. I know some folks that are pulling there hair out trying to find these.

Me, I'll still be making slinky's this week as opposed to playing playstation, but I can see how some folks get super excited about it.

JCJ · 12-12-2006, 06:08 PM

Hillsboro Costco had 48,sold out last night and Clackamas had about 91 or 92 and sold all but 7 which sold early this morning.
