    No problem. I thought I missed something!

    I'm not sure I'm going to get a PS3. We'll have to see, but from what I've read/heard, it sounds like 989's MLB game was very good this past year. I'd expect a good game from them on the PS3 as well.

        Anybody that says they know anything about when they are getting shipments is lying. I was at Best Buy the other day and I was talking to the store manager and he said that no one knows anything. They get the units in when they arrive, and they have no idea when that will be.

          That's pretty much the story I got yesterday when I called around (Target, Circuit City, Best Buy and EB). My goal now is to order from a website that does a first come, first serve deal. No pre-orders, nothing. Just an auto-notify when the next shipments arrive and if you're fast enough, you'll get it. I know of one reputable place doing this and I might look for others in case I'm not fast enough.

            Luv-Mist, why don't you apply for the Best Buy credit card. There no payments for 12 months(for the 360), but the interest can be a killer, one of their employees told me.

              if you pay your bill, you won't have any interest. if you can't pay your bill, you don't need a credit card. If you don't have a full-time, steady job, a credit card is trouble waiting to happen.

                True, just saying that it's a good way if he wants the system now, but can't pay for the entire bit at this moment, he could use the BB credit card.

                  A lot of people will disagree with me, but here is my theory on buying things. Unless it's food or medicine, if you don't have the cash in the bank to purchase the item, you don't need it.

                  That's just my theory on the matter. btw, the Clayton Leasure guy in the article also wrote a letter to IGN asking about HDTVS, that I read yesterday. That was weird.

                    No, you're right. People with large balances on their credit cards carrying from one month to the next are basically just throwing money away via the interest.

                    Also, just wait until we all see the string of bankruptsies that will result when the housing bubble bursts because of the number of 20 and 30-somethings who are affording homes well out of their earning power because they're being given reverse mortgages. It's going to be quite the disaster.

                    There is a lot of bad financial advice out there and even more people who are mind-bogglingly stupid when it comes to their personal finances.
