With ps3 comming soon as the world most expensive console many must havers (like myself) are all going to dig deeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep into our already shallow pockets. Well here are a few tips off the top of my head to help save and even find a good deal on ps3.
1)Start a ps3 found - A dedicated found that's untouched
2)Add to this found atlease once a month. The earlier you start softer the financial blow will be.
3)Cut down on your current game budget. Buy must haves only and buy them used if you can wait. Thats one stratigy.
4)For the extreme cutting down on lunch spending might just get you an extra launch title
5)Get the ps3 gefore buying a high def tv. Now this might be hard for some soccer fan with world cup this year but there are always sport bars.
I'll be posting more as they come to mind. As always please add to this list as I too need to find more ways of funding my purching of ps3 (plenty spening for the third time).
XXYYQQOO!!! Yeah WELCOME TO JAMROCK

Why not make payment's if it's available.I know it won't be at launch but after a while it will hopefully.
"3)Cut down on your current game budget. Buy must haves only and buy them used if you can wait. Thats one stratigy. "
or just pirate em all.lol.If you need to know how, afterdawn is certainly the place to be.Visit the ps2 backup's section.
I aint gonna skip lunch for six months just play some damn games.As yall know ,I like games as much as anyone but I'm not selling my soul or pawning my radio here.To bad you can't just sell some of that jamaican bud to the rest of us shlub's here and get one lol.

Hey done take that post so seriously. It's intended to be a joke.
I'm just poking fun at sony fans (myself included) because of the amount of cash we'll have to shell out come November.

I think you need to read the rules buddy,.....we don't talk about piracy on Afterdawn......We discuss on how to backup already owned games.......This certainly isn't the place to learn how to pirate!

That's all we do In other forum's here stupid.And when ps3 comes out we will be talking about how to hack it too.Just like the 360 forum's.Go ahead and read the rules.Those back up section's are a front for pirating.Moron.

Xygo; hi, yeah I tryed to make a joke in the last sentence of that post lol to let folks know I wasn't that serious.But if I'm ever there I will give you a call lol .Besides who can beat the jamaican beaches.Man I saw on tv those crystal clear waters and good looking girls.See ya.
Ttownklwn.Are you serious? If you could get free games you wouldn't? Come on. The game industry is a multi-billion dollar industry and most of the Games I pirate I wouldn't have purchased anyways I'm just playing em b/c their free..lol.

Dude....Are you asking to get banned.........Read the dam rules...........Jeez....It says no piracy.......The backup discussion is how to back-up already owned games........How the hell is hacking the 360 anything to do with piracy.....Do I have to show you the rules or can you do it yourself?.........I am gonna ask a mod to close this as you are breaking the rules
Buy the damn game! It makes the developer make newer and better games...Pirating them is for people that don't care about the game industry and don't want to contribute it to them....
DON"T PIRATE

"Go ahead and read the rules." I was agreeing It is prohibited.Was just trying to say what's really going on here.Sorry about that it won't happen again.
tocool4u :look I'm not trying to get banned. Some people want to ban others for any little thing.You said....
"How the hell is hacking the 360 anything to do with piracy...
well hacking it is pretty much piracy.
"I am gonna ask a mod to close this as you are breaking the rules "
ok tiger geez....what about rule 6 " No foul language, insults, personal attacks or otherwise rude messages."
we both broke that didn't we...humm. I guess I should get the mod.Grow up.Your the only one with such a problem here.

No.....You keep bringing up the piracy...... and hacking isn't piracy............If it were it wouldn't be on the site now would it........I read the rules lots of times and i know them... saying damn and jeez isn't foul language...I am not even refering those words to you...And actually if you read back on some of the posts you made....You called me a moron and stupid...When i said damn and jeez i wasn't refering to you..............This is why this should get closed because people like you don't stop.......You just can't take the feeling of people telling you....You are wrong...I know that's why you keep going.....If you would grow up you would know to stop..........
Oh and for the record......

lol tycobb I don't think anyone here was offended with any of your replies except tocool4u.Claiming we back up only games we own is basically saying I'm a moron.
Anyways.Hey I played that crappy sonic rides game too.It was ok for like the first hour but I got tired of it.

My regrets as well.
As to quality control what should console manufacuters do to ensure that only average-outstanding software is sold on their billion dollar platforms and not mess up the industry

There will always be crappy games on any platform. They should do nothing.In fact ps3 is not going to make people pay to license homebrew which is cool b/c it let's smaller companies who don't have lot's of money make games.
Some of these smaller companies have great idea's but not a huge bank account so it's nice to see we will be getting that on ps3.

Inovation is really what drives the industry but some of the bigger devlopers give the impression that they are running out of steam.
If some of the guys doing homebrew can really step up it would be a great oppertunity for them and my breath some new life to the industry.
Another thing are the costs involved if small devlopers can come up with way to make quality on a low budget they my just lead the way for eveyone else to follow.
