The Irony

Dsmooth constantly calls me a Sony basher, Sony hater and continues to remind me of why Sony sucks from my point of view.

Well, I now own a Sony PS3 60GIG. My mother managed to get one before they hit the shelves at Wal-Mart, who received 12 of them (one is still sitting in the locked cabinet or so it was). I got a fairly good deal on it ($540.00) because she has a discount card at Wally world (that's street talk for Wal-Mart).

So, now I have to sit down and look at some auction figures. See if its something worth selling on eBay or keeping so we can demo games and such for the company and our upcoming podcast. eBay is looking very good...

Since our game site doesn't yet bring in real positive revenue we really don't need to offset too much :) ebay is looking hot.

Give it to Taco Bell. They'll give you lifetime soft tacos and E.coli. Fair trade?

If E.coli taco doesn't appeal, perhaps work out some sort of promotion/contest for Tech Diversions. Give it away. Somehow work it out which gets the name out there in a big way. Alot of money but may be worth it if you swing it right.

My friend was lucky enough to get a PS3 on launch and he turned around and sold it on EBAY. He didn't even open it up and test drive it. I have to admit that I'm a XBOX fanboy so I'm usually bashing the PS3 here and there. lol. Don't get me wrong though, I owned and loved my PS2 for years.

I have to tell you that the Wii will be the clear winner and the 360 has the PS3 beat. I will let you figure out where that leaves the PSWeak. Code Monkey do yourself a favor and give the PS3 to the needy so they can sell it for food. Seriously though, have a good holiday.

Ebay

yeah, I'm thinking eBay is the right move. Prices are still good, not GREAT, but considering we saved $60.00 on it... its instant profit if we sold it for MSRP.

Ahem, since the PS3 will clearly be used for your home business, that would make it a tax deductible exemption (assuming you are making an income with your business). :D

You should skin it with 360 logos and eff with the bidders- "teh l33t PS360"- with a little bitty disclaimer in the bottom of course.... Or take the write off and play yourself silly!!! :)
