anyone who'd pay that much for a video game deserves a free bowl of soup and a free punch in the nuts with it

Why do you think it will sell for up to $1800 on ebay?

When the Xbox 360 came out, my fiance and I camped out in front of a Best Buys and we were the 3rd tent in line. Man, that was a cold, windy and rainy day...but worth it. Sold both and made a nice $1200 profit.

it's a good buy whether you look to resell it or play it
playstation is and will be the standard by which all games and systems are measured for years to come

lifetime to date sales of individual machines:
PS2: 111 million
XBox: 25 million

Keep it or sell it, do what you will why not make some money early on if you can?

when do they come out? and wat are the downsides to this.... im sure someone on ebay will buy a ps3 when there r no more left.

this sounds too good to be true...any info is appreciated.

I don't see any downside to buying this thing; other than having to camp out the night before, and only being allowed to purchase 1. (I really thought I could run up my credit card and buy 10 of them; alas, that will not work).

Still, people are buying the $100 vouchers from EBGames for up to $1600. That's just a damn receipt!!! - They still need to shell out $500 more for the system!!

Seems like it is worth it even just for 1. $600 to turn at least a $1,000 profit!! - More if you hold it till mid December. I'll camp out for $1,000.
