10 yen. Or the three-piece lounge suite and your eldest daughter. Whatever.

I could make more use out of the three-piece lounge suite and your eldest daughter than a PS3...

Given the number of different translations one could come up with to your post, you may wish to reword this...(It's illegal to sell people into slavery as casually as you sell a lounge.)

You mean the PS3 is worth more IN human lives ? ...

Reading on some business news about Sony + the PS3 im sure Sony HQ has a sacrificial circle in the basement with a guro priestess .
I must feel proud about the things I choose ...,

Be it Ero-games , doujinshi , or clothes ; its all the SAME !

2,147,483,648 Yen = AUD 23 846 241
= RM 66 420 408

In either case that's alot of cash NOT going to Sony so they'll still need that ritual space in the basement .

Anyone who thinks a PS3 is worth that much probably doesn't have a life anyway. I mean, if it really is worth more than a human life then maybe we can calculate how many lives they're willing to bid for it, then slaughter the appropriate value amongst members of the bidder's close family and friends, then hand them the PS3 with a smile. 8)

They probably don't have that many friends, anyway, and if they're that desperate for a PS3, who gives a toss about a sibling or two...?

Did you have to suggest this? My brother wants one and knows there's no way in hell he can afford one.

I usually wait for the first price drop after release to get a console. I'm not in that much of a rush anyway considering how often I get to play them.

So far the Wii is the only console I'm getting on release out of all the consoles I have bought or are planning to buy. I'm still waiting on the Xbox 360 to go further down in price and I'm not even considering the PS3 as I've had nothing but problems with anything Sony.

Whenever someone asks me why I've had problems with a piece of electronic equipment I've replied: "It's a Sony"

generally, 1 hour per playing session will be acceptable, anything more per session non stop will be unhealthy.

all of us got only 24 hours a day, use it productively. we all not getting any younger.

Well at the price war happening around those units on auction , its was about 169 different bids logged until i last noticed .

Could almost relate this back to the tuna story but this is deadly serious .

Not to mention at the final price ... it probably was the equivalent of 169 ppl's income .
