What's interesting is that EVERY podcast (except CAG, huge shocker) that I've been listening to, even the ones that have obvious preferences to all things 360 this gen, have said that they prefer the new Dual Shock 4 to the 360 or Xbox 1 controller.

There was no headset packaged with PS3. I'm sure they were talking about the official PS3 Bluetooth, but since it's nothing more than any other Bluetooth earpiece, that means that any PS3 headset will work, whether it be a Sony headset or third party.Comment

On Tuesday, we reported that someone was selling a PlayStation 4 on eBay for the astronomical sum of $10,000. There were also at least two prospective buyers, or "watchers" as eBay calls them, who were tracking the item. Apparently someone actually ponied up the 10K asking price to get their hands on this PS4. Check out the photo below.
Note the little "SOLD" marker on the item image. We wonder why someone would pay such a grossly inflated sum for a console that costs $399. It's worth noting that the page indicates this was a Launch Edition PlayStation 4. Launch Edition PS4 consoles are guaranteed to be available once the console ships.
Considering that this person paid $10,000 for a Launch Edition PS4, it's safe to assume that they wanted to safeguard against shipping delays relating to supply, demand and availability. However, Amazon is once again offering "Launch Edition" PS4 bundles for prices ranging from roughly $460 to $500 after they were sold out for some time. It's possible that whoever bought the above PS4 didn't know that.
The only good explanation for making the above purchase is that the buyer saw that the seller indicated they would donate some of the profits generated from this transaction to Children's Miracle Network Hospitals. If that's the case, then good for them. However, a better move would have been to pre-order a PS4 Launch Edition bundle on Amazon and give the remainder of the $10,000 to a charity of that person's choice, be it Children's Miracle Network Hospitals or something else.
The PS4 is slated to be released sometime this holiday season, likely before Black Friday.
What's the most you would pay for a PS4 and why? What do you think of the above prices for the PS4? Sound off in the comments below.

I've got my preorder for a launch day PS4 with Amazon, but I'm thinking I'll end up canceling it before launch.
I'll still have Madden (2-2-0) and The Show on PS3 plus there are still a few games I've yet to play that I'd like to check out (plus the new GTA in the fall). So, plunking down over $500 to get an early PS4 doesn't seem too smart for me.
Probably end up waiting until sometime next summer or so before taking the plunge.

The only thing that really has my interest piqued is the price because at $400 it won't drop for years probably so there really isn't an incentive to wait, besides waiting to make sure there aren't any actual mechanical issues.Comment

Both of you stahp being stupid.
You have on pre-order, something that is basically no longer pre-orderable and won't be in stock when it arrives....right before Xmas.
This is what you call a perfect investment, because it's 100% risk free since you can return it for full value. Just get it and see the market before doing something so foolish.
When getting all your money back is "worst case scenario" you don't walk away.Comment
