Million Dollar PS3 Shows Up At Retailer
There is no doubt that the PlayStation 3 is an excellent value, especially at its new low price of $299. Even at launch the PS3 with its cutting edge tech and its Blu-Ray support (Blu-Ray wasn’t the HD standard at launch) was a great value, even with a $599 price tag. The scarcity of the PS3 at launch, coupled with the holiday season, the then new console was fetching astronomical prices on Ebay.
Now the PS3 is just about 3 years old, yet it’s received its highest pricing yet…
Amazon.com
The obvious mistake has since been taken down.
Thanks to papadunit for the tip!

I don’t know if this qualifies as news. It’s just a mistake.
Doesnt qualify as news? Jeezus go buy a sense of humor.
How did they make that mistake anyway? Its not like it said $299,000,000. Where does $1,000,000 come from?
Microsoft hackers!
@fiftyquid,
since when is a funny screw up become not news worthy?
@ KwietStorm
its not funny, no matter how much you try to make it out to be.. its a mistake, not really news worthy. i think your missng a few screws in your head if your saying the guy doesnt have a sense of humor.
@darkangel269
you know how many pricing screw ups are done online? its not like it was priced that way for a month.
Kind of humorous (I guess), but considering what a good seller it is for Amazon, you’ve got to wonder what kind of children they’ve got working there. I mean, it’s not like anyone could “accidentally” type in a million dollars. The price hasn’t changed since it was introduced either, so there’s no reason for someone to be doing anything with it in the first place.
It made me me laugh so there , lol
Guys calm the hell down. This is a blog. An opinion site. Sev is sharing with us a very simple anecdote. You know how you go to the mall and then state some obvious failure of a road sign and people go “oh that’s interesting/funny”
Thats all this is, an anecdote, and news blogs have to go with anecdotes and some other “Not real news” kinda posts because otherwise there would be 1 post a week and no reason to come back except once a month to read 4 articles except when the damn conventions are going on or a flurry of PS Blog postings and interviews pop up.
That’s how this stuff works. So Sit down, shut up, and enjoy. No news ANYTHING can keep around for long posting nothing but news worthy stuff every time. These republican affairs? They’re the expected norm now, not news.
Any time you see some article about the hypocrisy of a congressmen that’s like a news article about a cat puking. Every site, newscast, etc… has to pad their news with little anecdotes and things because otherwise there’s not much news to get people to check for new feeds.
@Makiai
its not funny to everyone.. your not doing anyone any favors by kissing ass.. 90% of everything you say is typical 1 liner response just like DGRMc187.. for the longest i thought he was a PSL writer based on his comments. You need to get over the fact that not everyone finds the same things funny and your always going to find friction, especially the internet. Still doesnt give Kweit storm the right to tell filtyquid the to get sense of humor and your not far behind making slick remarks. His opinion was that it wasnt news worthy.. take it as an opinion and move along. No need to make the guy an example…
@ everyone – Forget I said anything. I didn’t mean to create a shit storm.
@MakaiOokami
You really think that theres only enough good content in the world for 1 article a week and the rest is padding? You would actually compare a stupid pricing mistake/possible stupid prank to articles like the one right before this, or the sony 3d one that was just posted, or a solid rumour of a psp2? I think you need to get your face away from this site’s nuts, give yourself a bit of a reality check maybe.
SteelFox it is not our fault that someone pissed in your Cherios this morning. What people write here in these comment are there opinions. I don’t really ever feel the need to post a wall of text to get my point across , like some people do. I personally think that an intelligent person could decipher from the articles headline whether or not it is worth there time and thought to post. So, you see fiftyquid is of course entitled to his opinon as well as Kwiet storm “your always going to find friction, especially the internet” , lolz . Makai is simply making a point that alot of the big supporters of PSLS and there readers enjoy these giggly tidbits. It seems to me that SteelFox is Kissing fiftyquids ass a little, since you say he is kissing PSLS’s bottom.
I hope I was able to string enough one liners together to get my point across. I don’t have to extrapolate to get my point accross k Fox. I should seriously charge you for any more nuggets I toss out here.
Also I have noticed that there seems to have been alot of reposting of articles here at PSLS that I have seen on other sites such as PS3 fanboy, which I also visit but do not enjoy there attitude towards the PS3. There has been a big lack of blow your freakin mind articles out there lately. So these puff peices as they are usually refered to are a better filler than a crap article in its stead. Yeah original articles are great but only if they are done well.
But seriously we are all gettin bent out of shape for nothing right?

im sure your smart enoughf to figure it out on your own. I fgured id drop a 1 liner since your good at those.
@DGRMC3POr2D2
Reading the title of this article I was thinking an actual ps3 showed up(read: physically located) in a retail store, instead I see a lame typo. Thanks for thinking i’m not intelligent, i’ll return the favour by thinking you should go fuck yourself. You should seriously reconsider saying you should charge someone for your opinion, cause it makes you look like a pretentious douchebag. Also the fact that you’re second sentence and steelfox’s first sentence are the exact same and you’re still disagreeing with him somehow, makes you look even more like a douchebag. I think my overall message here is thinking you’re better than other people makes you a douchebag, but that’s just my opinion…
Actually you left out the part where I referenced your fail of a post. Seriously I never see you around here so being the troll we all know you to be I’m sure Someone here can help you find the door. :p
@shadowjin
Relax, chum. Is this hurting anyone by the post being here? That was my whole point. I don’t know where you’re comin from with the screws loose comment. Wasn’t talking to you anyway.
@DGRC3PO
every site repost the same articles… did you just figure this out? come on seriously, ive wondered about you myself. If you need an example :why ask if the head shots and friendly fire articles are a weekly thing? when you see them every week…. Makes you look like Sneeches. You dont need to post a wall of comments lolz…. but something beyond 4-5 words. i dont think anything Johny says is “trolling” he makes valid points but in a blunt way.. which most arent use to.
@Kweit
you said it better than i could have: Is this hurting anyone by the post being here?
Look noone was talkin to you Jonnhy late to school 5 , if you really thought a brick and mortar store had a 1million dollar PS3 in it then you r an idiot. None of my comment prior comments were aimed at you if you took it personally than it was meant for you , get it , got it good.
@ Shadowjin, wasn’t talking about Johnny never said anything about his damn post until this one where he jumps on me because he is busy swapping spit with Steelfox.
What is there to wonder about in my posts I keep em simple most of the time because the points I would bring up in the comments are usually done by someone else.
Also I would like to thank Steelfox for diligently reading all 2,116 comments I have made here at PSLS your my biggest fan apparently. :p
Protip: When you act like a condescending prick it doesn’t make you right, it makes you a condescending prick. You should be embarrased you weren’t intelligent enough to realize I was making a point and not taking anything personally.
And I didn’t think they built an actual million dollar console, but some special promotional item, the title isn’t even that descriptive…
And would you call someone john the colour of milk, or steve a post of employment? At least I didn’t throw magnets at a fridge cause I lack any creativity. Respect the name bitch.
Pro tip: tru·ant (trnt)
n.
1. One who is absent without permission, especially from school.
2. One who shirks work or duty.
adj.
1. Absent without permission, especially from school.
2. Idle, lazy, or neglectful.
but if in some way your name is an amalgum of this and a reference to Short Circuit than that is clever. Have some points on me
+ 10 points for being amusing
If you’ll look at the two examples I posted you would understand my issue is not what truant means, it’s that you calling people the literal meaning of their name is a tad silly. It’s not a reference to short circuit, so your points will go to waste unfortunately.
@THEBOT
i dont need to post mindless garbage for the hell of it… not my fault you dont get it. than again, everything you say is paraphrasing.
I just googled short circuit and the 5 was just random cause the plain was taken, pure coincidence.
A little ice breaker. Not all news need to be serious.
But if you can’t be a tad silly on the internet where would this article have been posted.
@ Steel ……. Really I thought you had shut up by now
this is lulz worthy
@ Shadow if he is even still reading all this mess. They didn’t post a Headshots article last monday so that is why I asked.
@C3P0
A mechanical device that sometimes resembles a human and is capable of performing a variety of often complex human tasks on command or by being programmed in advance likea machine or device that operates automatically even by remote control. A person who works mechanically without original thought. Dont worry , you get it eventually.
Everyone has gotten it by now sept u of course now go hug your starwars collection before your mom tucks you in for the night.
Oh come on I thought that was pretty good. definitely deserved better than something mother related.
@DGRPOS
well, just incase you missed it.
Also I would like to thank PSLBOT for diligently reading all 248 comments I have made on the PSL. Another reason why abortion shoul be a choice.
this aint craigslist so leave amazon alone
@DGRC
nah, my “co-worker” created a script program for comments in fourms that generates questions and responses based on data from comments. (this was meant to build conversations in fourms. except it never responded just made statements) It some times glitched and asked questions and made remarks not related to an article. Which for awhile made me think you were the same (based on comments being short or not matching the article). Last Monday they didnt do Headshots and friendly fire because Cameron was busy but they are a weekly post.. been the same for over a month.
I’m gonna call that one even, although the “hugging star wars collection” was rather noteworthy.
