DOOOO ITTTTT! What kind of chem?

1st semester inorganic, honors section. Total suckfest.

Anyway, it looks like the walmart and bestbuy near my school are doing midnight releases. That might be the ticket, as I can go from my chem help session, ending at 2:50, straight to one of the stores.

Thats only for presales. Once you have the ps3 in your hands you'll be fine.

Ugh, I wish I was still there. I start P-chem soon. Shoot me in the fucking face.

hmm This is very intriguing, that map is pretty cool.. damn I need money. I think i might do this. hmmmm, hmm. Pearl street circuit city is expecting 15-50.. kindof a big gap.. would suck big donkey balls if you didnt get one though..

Probably a good idea to be in the first 20 or so... otherwise find a different store to camp out.

[thebigeast]

anyone know how much these things cost of the shelf?

[davey]

anyone know how much these things cost of the shelf?

$500 for the 20gb and $600 for the 60

[Son1cdeth]

two models

20GB version = $499
60GB version = $599

I'm thinking this may be the problem with the midnight release stores, not enough commitment factor. I'm thinking I'll have more luck where it requires and overnight camp-out, as far as getting forward enough in line.

What's Pchem? I know I'm dreading organic...

[doublediamond223]

so a little before christmas they should sell for what like 1300-1500 or something?

Fuck that, they are on ebay right now for that much. If I get one, I'm coming straight back to the dorm and putting it on ebay after I get a pic of it in hand.

[thebigeast]

yeah i was kinda slow on that one
i missed the ebay link above

[mc_roon]

im going to do it, the only question is where and when i should show up. Going to go around and see what looks like the best tomorrow...weather looks dicey for the pennisula...someplace covered would be sweet

Physical Chemistry. It's a bitch. Organic was a breeze for me, really depends on your professor and how he wants you to learn the material.

I'm probably going to start camping out tomorrow night or thursday morning. Luckily I have some prescription amphetamines if I need to really go the distance on keeping awake!

I might bring my sleeping pad and sleeping bag if I have to, not going to bother with a tent. I don't have to take Physical Chem as a premed requisite, thank god.

It won't be colder than 40 degrees, so I'll be set I think. Lots of coffee and sleeping until noon on Thursday should be enough. (First and only class at 1230)

[Adamantium]

Any SLC mags up for a campout? The average price on ebay seems to be $1300-1600 or so. That's $700-1000 profit. For one night of camping. Bueller?

i'd be weary of current presale prices on ebay. a lot of people are intentionally overbidding those auctions because they don't like the idea of people reselling them in the first place.

anecdotally, it seems that everyone i've known/heard about who is talking about picking one up on launch day is doing so to sell it on ebay. take that as you will.

[mc_roon]

...Luckily I have some prescription amphetamines...

adderall...magical stuff. I will probably just stay up the entire night doing shit for school so i dont have to do it over thanksgiving break. Econ project here I come!

just look at the xbox360...more of them were avaliable and the prices still went crazy. And how long has it been since Sony rolled out the PS2? People are going to go crazy.

Haha, good call.

6 Books of the aeneid? Check.

Pwnage of chem quiz? Check.

Extra credit detailed outline for logic class? Check.

I'll have plenty to do...

[fixiewrek]

Any PNW'ers doing this? it appears that Best Buy or Circuit Citys may have up to 50 or 60 at each store. Could be worth it for sure.

[MrDirt]

I'm crappin'-my-pants excited about this.

We'll have to come up with some stats afterwards on "total mag profits based on PS3 sales".
