wtb: PS3

[Par7]

Heading back to school in a month and all my roomies are rocking ps3s. Last year we did the xbox thing, this year I guess its ps3. I'm rocking a 50 inch Samsung plasma with matching surround (thank you scholarship) and the ps3 should look awesome.
Anyway, anyone got one for sale?

You bought a TV with scholarship money?

Best way to get a PS3 is new really, they tend to be delicate...or so I've heard.

Yeah, that's what I will end up doing, just went out on a limb, hoping someone would know something.
They aren't as delicate as the ps2, which I have 3 of, or the 360, which I have 2 of.
And its not a true scholarship, I don't try hard enough at school to get anything serious like that. My dad's work gives out 2500 dollars to each employee's dependants that are in a PSE institute.

Oh thats pretty sweet. Can I come work for your dad?

Yeah, someone might, but most of the guys on here wouldn't drop the dough...sadly me included.

will not part with mine, sorry it is better than the Xbox 360 I think.

I don't know if the SonyStyle promo is still going but that's how I got mine.

You sign up for the SonyStyle credit card and they give you $100 off your first order of $100 or more with no interest no payments for 6 months or something crazy like that.

So your PS3 only comes to $300 or a little more brand new. Pay it off online in small chunks with no interest. Candy from a baby.

So just pay it off in 6 months and cancel the card, can you pay it off right away?

Can you throw up a link or something to this promo? Would be an awesome deal.

Only problem is that signing up for and getting rid of credit cards hurts your credit which can(or may not depending on how many times you do it) hurt you even worse when it comes time for the next car.

Or something that really matters...like a house.

[Par7]

Signing up for credit and then cancelling a fully paid credit card doesn't hurt anything.

[eclark53520]

You dont know much about credit my friend.

Just applying for credit hurts your credit score. Go read my boy, go read.

Just sign up. You take a small hit. It's mere points..

Pay it monthly, on time, and MORE than the minimum payment due.

Pay it all off by the deadline, and your done.

Don't use the card anymore. Cut it up, and they will close the account after XX amount of time of no usage.

It's not a big deal...

US residents only, as always.

Any info on anything similar for Canada?
