Ok, He missed the install and testing fee, the shipping can and does vary, and is a part of anything purchased on the net, unless you see the words "Free Shipping," "Shipping Included," or "Shipped." We all must pay shipping, outside of the purchase price.  Give him a break already. We all can make mistakes.

Ummm, you'll make no friends calling people morons. There is also the distinct posibility that a few here may have higher IQs than you. (Statistics say that.) You are free to search eBay, CraigsList, Newspaper classifieds and Thrift Shops to find this stuff on your own too.

The PS3 can run Linux, and can be programmed that way, for free.  Yes, to write games for the Native PS3 OS, you need to invest, but it can be done.

M$ offers a [free] program tied into C# that allows you to program for the XBoxes for yourself.
