Seriously? There's paying over the odds for convenience, then there's just daylight robbery.

Ill do it for half price
Oh wait we would help you with any problems you might have for free on Digiex anyway!

I guess they're just providing a service for people dumb enough to want to pay for such things.....

Exactly what Trebor said. Best Buy knows some people are going to be willing to pay for this service, so they can charge what they will. If someone is dumb enough to throw away their money like that, I don't feel sorry for them.

Hey, this shouldn't be illegal! I'm going to need this because when I buy my PS3 i'm going to be drooling on myself in the corner instead of actually using my PS3 i'll have other people do it. I find it funny that they charge that much when the people that are less "tech" people can look at the user manual to find everything that they need to know.

Not everyone is as tech savy as you or me and it might be a useful service to them, a bit expensive but then again it is a home visit.

 

[Dark Scyth]

Of course not. That is what the Instruction Manual is for. It tells you basically everything that you could possibly need to know. Even my mom could set up a PS3 and she is totally technology illiterate. I just can't imagine paying that much, even if I had absolutely no idea what I was doing.

buying a ps3 should be illegal

ROFL what!? Only a Nintendo or Microsoft fanboy would say that, like people who only know the basics what the PSP or PS3 or whatever else can do and start saying "PSP SUCKS! DS IS 666 MILLION TIMES BETTER!!!!!!!!!!!!!" and saying the same annoying statement (e.g. "DS has more better games and the touchscreen feature and I don't need a million pixels or lame features on a doorknob").

Sorry if anyone was offended by this.

buying a ps3 should be illegal

I think that statement is a very bad one, and this is coming from a diehard Xbox fan. I bought a PS3 back in July and the PS3 exclusive games are worth getting the system. The exclusives are nothing short of outstanding and they should be played by anyone who has the chance to do so.
