Should I buy in my home town or the college town is my dilemma! It comes out the 22nd which happenes to be our fall break so a lot of people will be gone but then again we only have a GameStop and a Walmart but it looks like radio shack is also a retailer? If I go home it'll probably be harder to get but I'll have every store to choose from.

the last two days have had multiple ps4's going at 580 and xboxs at 700.

Here I was only asking 535 for my ps4. xbox is still for sale at 640 if someone wants it on launch day.

Just fyi guys, Target is having a buy 2 get 1 free deal this week for all games INCLUDING PS4 games!! Saturday is the last day I believe. I'm doing the deal twice, I'll buy 4 and get 2 games free, the stars are aligning for PS4 this year.

Tempting but I need to save money since in in college if I don't get lucky might come back to you

"You may need to set aside 15 to 20 minutes of fidgeting time when you get your Xbox One on November 22".

Sure would be nice if they would let us download the day one patch early like Sony is doing for the PS4.

You have to remember, there will be thousands upon thousands of people trying to do the same thing all vying for a small group of people.

I sold mine on E-bay and made enough to buy 3 games. Actually saved sales tax money when I changed the address to the buyer.

I did have to sell it to a second chance buyer because a lot of overseas people are trying to buy these as their launch day is later. Amazon doesn't allow shipping to these areas right now for the launch day boxes. So if you do sell on e-bay make sure you specify US ONLY in caps.

There is or was an easier way. I use to sale a lot of stuff on E-bay (anywhere from 50-75 auctions a week for a year) and there was an option down on the bottom where you set up the auction that you can set to US only and the only people that would be allowed to bid was those people whose address is located in the US. You can even go farther and set it to continental US so you wouldn't have to worry about Alaska or Hawaii.

I got in a hurry and just duplicated one of the other ads. E-bays fees have going way too high and now that they have a monopoly w/ paypal it's even worse.

...and to top it off I have a 100% rating w/ about 50 sales but haven't used it in a couple years so my money is pending until Dec 2nd. It's good they are tightening up for the buyers but damn it's hard to sell anymore.

It's one of the reasons why I stopped saleing on E-Bay. They stopped caring about the sellers (where E-bay actually makes their money from) and only care about the buyers now. They made it way too easy for buyers to scam the sellers and they would rather ban the seller who was scammed than do something to the buyer who does the scamming. It just got to the point where the extra $1k+ a month just wasn't worth the hassle.

Yup... I'm done with E-bay for good unless it's a Buy it Now transaction and I'm doing the buying.

Sold the PS4 and the seller fee was $64 plus $25 to paypal... Really

When are we expected to be billed by amazon ?
The lady I spoke to was a complete fool.
I'm guessing two days prior to release since shipping will start so the units can arrive in the 22nd.

Microsoft is going to start processing orders on the 15th so I would assume other vendors would be able to as well. You know what they say about assuming though.....

[Mindz]

Well it's the day before I was able to cancel my order for PS4 today. I still have my xbox on order, and Amazon doesn't charge your card until the item ships.

If anybody in here is getting a PS4 as well there is a update about the PS4 and things you should check. I put the info in the PS4 thread.
