Ebay is restricting sales of PS3 on ebay. You gotta have 50+ feedback, 98% or better good feedback. So unless you meet that, you cant sell it on ebay. Same thing for Wii

That's only if they are selling pre-orders and such. Like people bidding on PS3's that the sellers don't have yet. That's why they want someone with super good feedback. Because people with super good feedback don't want their reputation ruined.

But when it comes out and you actually have it, anyone can sell it.

READ HERE READ HERE READ HERE
I live in a small city, 25k population. I live on the west coast of Newfoundland Canada (most easterly point of North America). If anyone wants I will line up and get a ps3 and you pay me back the price +50. Chance of me getting one are better than you guys. Most if not all of you live in big cities in the states. Not many people are crazy about this here. Pm or email me whelan_999@yahoo.ca before tonight. And I'll do it for one or two people the most. And serious people only.

Me and Calvin got owned, heres the story, so We got to best buy which is in the mall but on the outer rim of the mall so you can get in from the streets, there were tons of people there around 3 just waiting for this ps3, about 150 people and there only gave out like 28. So at 9:45 every one started to gather and get into sprinting mode, cops were freaking out and people were shoving all over the place, they said at 10:00 the open sign will turn off and you have to go around the rop (if you dont your kicked out) to get your ticket, so calvin and I had a prime spot, it was baseically a sprint straight away, it was 9:58 and i checked my cell phone for the time when all of the sudden the open sign flashed off then back on, i got shuved and dropped my cell phone, I picked it up and the cops were screaming BACK BACK BACK, but all the nerd dint listen and so I was baseically at the back of the whole, I tried to tunnel threew and som guy like picked me up by my shirt and started yellign at me, then the girl cop said to the guys in the back like me if you line up in a straight line the best buy guy will probaly coem back here and hand the tickets out to you, so we did and 10 minutes later she baseically saif JK you can go now and there was no chance at all, i got in a fight with a 50 year old mom and her 30 year old son about fucking cutting in line, and calvin was way close but dint get one, So we waited 7 hourse at the mall, in a car for nothing... gooooood times.

I wonder how many ps3 are actually gonna sell this holiday season assuming they have the supply side figured out enough to fill the demand. I remember when I was a kid! I was the luckiest kid in the world to get a super nintendo or n64 and those were like $199. With the price around $600 I wonder how many parents are gonna shell out for that or just say fuck it and get the wii.

haha theres 6 kids who go to my school who are the first people in line at my local best buy. they also have 4 preordered at 2 different toys r us in the area. so basically theres 6 kids, 10 ps3s and theyre selling every single one of them. theyre expecting about a 1400 profit on each one, so thats like over 2 grand a piece for missing a day of school (yesterday) and we dont have school today because of flooding so they lucked out big time. im jealous

The Xbox360 is a nice balance of the cheapness of wii and the good graphics of the PS3
