Here's a Play Station 3 news flash, jack ... joes and jills everywhere are lining the block, waiting to get a piece of the action with the new video game system. Problem is, lots of them will want to Ebay the sucker ... and yahoos online will pay thousands of bucks for a $600 system! I know, I don't get it either, bub ... it's bad math.

Nothing is worth paying more than you have to. You wouldn't go to buy a $5,000 car and hand the owner 15 grand, so don't do it with video games. Don't get me wrong ... they can be fun. I've played some Super Mario Bros. in my day. But there's a right way to shop. Just like Dave Ramsey says, look for the deals. If you're gonna blow perfectly good dough on something like that, then make it part of your personal budget. If you can get something used, do it ... it's less pricey. Don't buy overpriced stuff and then end up asking yourself 'Where is the cash?' Get it?
