People don't really care, they'll just charge it on a credit card anyway.

Bingo!!!!!!

I would love to see the credit card statements of half of the OS'ers....

They are all probably a bunch of broke MF'ers.


I am glad to say I only have my debit card, I have not one credit card.

I pay off my credit card in full every month. Its great and you can collect bonuses for use unlike a debit card. Furthermore, I would recommend anyone who hasn't established a good credit rating (university students as an example) to get a credit card to get a credit rating going. Using a credit card responsibly is a good thing and will give banks something to look at the first time you go get a car loan or mortgage. Having a good credit rating is important in getting good rates.

As for the PS3, they are selling it at a loss so I know you are getting a good deal when looking at all the stuff they jammed in there. But its too high a price for the average gamer imo.

I dont call 600 + for a game console a good deal. Especially for the people who dont even want all of that.

I dont think there are a high number of kids running around talking technical specs of HDTV's they dont have, when all they want one for is the games

We (Wife and I) only have 1 reg cc. for emergency use only. It's clean and haven't used it in quite some time. Learned my lesson years ago.
We only have a check card for reg use.

Same, we have one card that earns us points towards Carnival cruises. We pay it off monthly, have a very high limit, and keep it mostly empty. Oct-Dec it gets a balance due to Xmas, but when my bonus comes, bye bye balance. (and when I say balance, I'm talking 500-1000 at the most)

i always keep one card for emergencies and for the holidays, and pay it off monthly or when i get my holiday bonus at work. one thing i do and it builds up a lot of credit, but good credit mind you, is this: i get a new card and close accounts all the time when they have zero balances, really only keeping one account "open" at a time. also this helps avoid interest charges, for instance right now i have a capital one card which has 0% interest until june '07, i am using that for christmas this year and i'll pay it off easily by june and close the account, get another card with a promotion, repeat. sorry for the long post, and actually it is irrevelant to the ps3, so back on topic, i used the above mentioned card to pay in full for my ps3 preorder at ebgames this morning....

My wife and I have two credit cards, an American Express Blue which we get points on, and the American Express True Earnings card from Costco which gets us 3% cash back at restaurants, and 1% cash back everywhere else. We pay the balances off every month, and enjoy free money.

Playstation 3 is for adults not kids that's what Nintendo is for.

I'm sure there is a kid in all of us. Some of us are just too uptight to let it out.
