There's rumors of a new premium pack with a much larger hard drive (80-100Gb) which will prob be released either before the end of the year or when the PS3 is released (stateside at least), plus there's still rumors circulating about a version which replaces the DVD drive with a HD-DVD one, and adds HDMI. Both these things would affect prices.

All of these are unsubstantiated, so no idea. Of course any rumors are rapidly denied by MS, but it may happen.

How much can you afford? I picked up a premium one at a good price with PGR3 & an extra controller, so if you're interested and the price is right, I may let it go (haven't even opened the box yet).

LMAO ROBBING BASTARD.

Atleast try and make it sound like its a one of a kind.

Heres a tip for you folk who don't know yet you can pick these packs up ANYWHERE for £280 yes its a MS bundle for a regular premium price.

Don't be conned by people like this.

And don't come back saying you were going to sell for less then £280 :D

Who said anything about him stealing?
e.g. You could have gone to Virgin and got the £200 pack for £100 in their sale...

OK. I won't say that. I'll say that you've no idea what you're talking about and if you don't apologise I'll be asking the other mods to impartially review your post with a view to you hopefully being landed with a ban.

Oh and FYI I paid less than the bundle is listed for on play and I never claimed that it wasn't just an official bundle.

Ok then so tell it straight?

How you worded you're post made it sound like you were trying to sell it for more then it was worth and you didn't mention it was a bundle which it is because as of 3 weeks ago everywhere selling 360's does this bundle.


Thats how it sounded sorry.

And the only reason i know this is because the day they went on sale they were on ebay for £340 a pop because people were trying to cash in on people that did not know about the bundle.

His post didn't come across like that at all. And may I remind everyone that the Aada that is trying to call meg a "robbing bastard", is the same one that

Aada https://forums.freddyshouse.com/showpost.php?p=2938471&postcount=8 (on the topic of selling ps3's on ebay)I have around £1500 put away and have 5 on order knowing full well i will easily get £700 each for the units.

Seriously, why are you still posting on this forum? Does anyone actually like you, and why haven't you been banned for the stupid things you constantly say.

Why do you post? i don't care if anyone likes me on a internet chatroom you stupid fuck :D

Fact is he tried selling it on for more then it was worth because there was no way he was going to sell for less then £280.

He's not happy because his scam got found out.

In no way did his post sound like he was going to help someone out by selling it lower.

And if he gets me banned that just proves my point.

You can sugar coat the fucking thing anyway you want but you're his buddy so you'll stick up for him until you're arse bleeds.

Even i make myself laugh with the stuff i come out with but i am more of a say what i think at the time and fuck the consequences.

How exactly did I do this? There's no mention of a price in my post.

How is asking someone what they might pay for something a scam? tris- could have said "£100" at which point we'd all know I'm not gonna sell it. On the other hand he could of said £40,000.00 and who'd say no to that?

Only scam around here is you making out you've got any intelect because you really are a stupid fucktard.

Regards
Meg

PS: tris-: To be honest I didn't have a figure in mind, though I'd obviously not let it go for less than I paid for it. Think I'm just gonna eBay it.

im not mr Gs buddy per se, im sure he hates me to fuck :D. but i am fairly convinced his post was aimed at me as i was interested in buying one. i interpreted his post as saying "i got this bundle, i wanna sell it, maybe cheaper maybe the same price". i did not see it as him saying i wanna rip you off all your money.

tis strange, Aada. Several people have read MYstIC G's post, and you're the only one to get it wrong. tris-, who the post was aimed at, understood exactly what he was talking about and even said so.

imo you should have a look at this.

Meg, open it an play it! Dont ebay it, you know you want one :) Do what I am doing and sell the ps2.

And Aada, where are you getting your £280 figure from? That is the price of the console alone, most retailers are selling it for £300 including PGR and the extra controllers. I have so far only see play do it cheaper, and that is £290, not £280.

You won't get the full experience but yeah it is worth it i didn't have a HDTV when i got mine.

You can just connect it to you're PC monitor if you want but the whole idea for me with a 360 is that you can chill out on the bed/sofa and turn it off/on without even getting up :)
