Do you want to buy a ps3? If so, it is safe to say that you are in the same boat as millions of other people. Not only are people in the United States ready to buy a ps3 the second that they hit stores, but this is also happening all over the world. The fact of the matter is that the new ps3 by Sony may be the most hyped gaming console of all time. So as you can probably imagine, if you want to buy a ps3 you are going to be up against high demand, and in most cases low supply. So, what does this mean for you?
Generally speaking, if you want to buy a ps3 you are going to have to put in a lot of time. And even if you do this you may not end up getting what you are ultimately after. Your best bet may be to get on a list that reserves a ps3 for you when a store finally takes shipment. In order to do this you will not only have to find a list to put your name on, but you will also have to put down a deposit. And the bad part is in many cases this does not even mean that you will receive your unit in the first shipment.
Another option that you may want to consider is waiting for the ps3′s to arrive so that you can be first (or close to the front) in line. That’s right; believe it or not there will be plenty of people who will be waiting in line nice and early so that they can be ensured of getting a ps3 from the first shipment. Unfortunately, this can be tough to do if you have other responsibilities such as having to go to school or work a full time job.
Finally, your last option to buy a ps3 may be to check the second hand market. You can do this by searching for ps3′s at online auction sites or in your local newspaper. There are many people all over the world who will be buying these units in bulk and then selling them to consumers at a marked up price. Even though this is not fair to the many people who want to buy from the store at the regular price, it is simply the way that the industry works. If you absolutely must have your ps3 right away, sometimes the only option that you have is to pay extra on the secondary market.
You can buy a ps3 if you are willing to spend the money and put the time into finding one. But if you think that this is going to be an easy task you are sadly mistaken. You may have to stand in line for hours on end, or give in and pay a few hundred dollars extra online.
As you can imagine, it is going to be a crazy scene during the couple of months after the ps3 is released to the public.

I am used to boating in the Great lakes, but have recently moved to FLA and am thinking of buying a boat again
Is there anything special about salt water boating i need to know that is different than fresh water?

Yes… don't drink it! LOL
I too boated on the Great Lakes for many years. And actually, there is a difference… For one, just remember all the things that had to be regularly maintained and fixed… now multiply that times four and you will have an excellant idea of the main difference.
We thought the zebra mussels were bad "up there"… well "down here" the salt water does everything to your boat, the winter salt on the roads did to your car… only nothing is safe – inside or out… You will want to keep everything you can really well protected from the elements. The salt water and the salt in that sea breeze finds itself in you wiring, wire panels, electronics, etc. So, keep as much of it as you can all covered and sealed. Better than WD40 (at least for this application) I use Boeshield T-9 … it dries to a thick waxy film that clings to metal. It helps protect engines, electronics, deck hardware, wiring, and more. Furthermore it is non-conductive and will not cause short circuits. It is also safe on paint, plastics, vinyl, and epoxy.
Other than that… you will really enjoy it!
Just watch out for the manatee…

Yeah, it is going to eat your boat and trailer alive unless the boat is made for it.

The main things to remember are to always rinse out your engine (and wash off your entire boat) when you get it back on the trailer, look for signs of corrosion on electrical contacts (boat and trailer), and be extra careful if you have a steel trailer – my dad had a 23' Slickcraft when he moved down here to Florida back in 1987 (from Northwest Indiana – where we also went boating on the Great Lakes), and the salt water ate that trailer alive in no time flat! It was so bad, it ate the steel brake lines on the trailer completely away. We wound up having to take the boat off the trailer, stripping the trailer down to the bare frame and sand blasting the whole thing and refinishing it from bare metal. In retrospect, we probably should have ditched the steel trailer and replaced it with an aluminum trailer.
