Hello all! I had to write in about the best thing I’ve accomplished through Craigslist in a long while. I live in Muncie, IN - and I was searching through the posts on Craigslist and noticed a gentleman that posted a Toshiba Tablet PC for $220.00. I contacted said user and asked what was wrong with it - he said he didn’t know … it turned on and that was about it - no windows would load up or anything etc. etc. So, taking a chance I purchased the Tablet PC for the $220.00 and tried to reformat it with my copy of Vista Home Premium, and sure enough - everything works like a charm! I come to find out that a brand new version of this Tablet PC retails for $1,200 or so on Ebay. Now this gives me two working Tablet PC(s) and even though this one is nice, I like my existing one better - so I put up the new Tablet PC I just purchased back on Craigslist to see how much I can get for it … at $800.00. No offers for 3 months. So I go back to Craigslist to find a decent trade for the Tablet PC - and I find another person in Evansville, IN who has a PS3 with Rockband, (guitar, drums, mic), Tiger Woods 08, Madden 08, Sonic the Hedgehog, and some basketball game, with 2 controllers, and a charging dock for the controllers. Mind you this is the 60 gig version. He has it listed for $500.00. I offer a straight up trade for the new Tablet PC that I have obtained and he goes for it. A week later and presto… I have a PS3! With that, the first purchase I made for it was Resistance: Fall of Man - do any of you out there with a PS3 currently have any suggestions on things I must have? Since I banked on this, I have some spare cash to spend - I was thinking of getting Ninja Gaiden Sigma, and possibly MGS4 … any others? Any additional equipment I should get? Thanks! Boon :thumb: ---

Pshh. Takes like 40 minutes to get through all the installs and cutscenes before you get to play. Overrated imo. ---

get (or download and burn) some blu-rays for it (unless you have a bluray player) i have a question because i may buy one — can it connect to your pc network and play .avi files off of it, through your tv, like an x-box can? and you def. have to get the new GTA ---

Yeah i just recently purchased a used PS3 on craigslist for 300 bucks with a game and its the first gen one so its backward compatible with all previous PS games, traded in a few xbox 360 games I had and got MGS4 for 5 bucks :lol: the game is good if your a fan of the series otherwise avoid it you will hate it. Other than that I dont have any games or plan to buy any other besides God of War 3 or Shadow Colossus 2 if that ever comes out. Now I have all 3 consoles and I still think the X360 i the best out of all the 3 😜 ---

Yeah, I’ve got all 3 now too! 🙂 Halo is really all I play on 360 … I play games like Crysis, COD4 and Bioshock on the PC. I play Tiger Woods, Guitar Hero 3 and Mario Kart on the Wii … And now I’m looking to expand with Rock Band, and Resistance, (just bought Ninja Gaiden Sigma today) for the PS3 to see how it pairs up…will Shadow Colossus 2 and God of War 3 be 360/PS3 titles only? or will they be for PC too? I’ve not played MGS before … so I doubt I make that purchase anytime soon for MGS4 … I have put some serious thought into getting GTA4 though … we’ll see. ---

You should’ve bought Ninja Gaiden 2 for x360 instead of sigma its very good ---

I was just going to borrow NG2 from my brother - he already bought it … That and buying games off Ebay is so much more efficient cost wise than going out and buying brand new games at $60.00 a pop … ya know? ---
