^ Think about it man. If a kid tells Santa Clause all he wants for christmas is a PLayStation 3, and there all sold out, then what are the parents going to do? They can't tell the kid santa didn't come. Sometimes you just have to cough out the cash to keep the christmas spirit alive. Sad but true.

if i asked for a ps3 for christmas and my parents ended up spending 15g's for one... i'd actually be more angry than anything, that's just so stupid and ridiculous, there's no reason to spend that much money on something like that when you can get it for a fraction of the price 2 weeks later... fucking patience people...

pretty sure it's a fake bid. Look at the previous item that guy has bought; a pair of trousers for $5 and a few stickers for a dollar or two...and then he spends $15000 on a ps3...somehow i don't think so.

I seriously doubt anyone actually pays more than 2 or 3 grand on ebay. They might bid up that high but they'll never end up paying it.

Just sold mine for 2 G's on ebay....waited 12 hrs. in line, paid $600. Basically I look at it this way: I got paid $100/hour just to hang out in line....

haha yeah technically you have to, but guess what there are tons of people who dont. you really cant do anythign as a seller if a bidder doesnt pay except give them a bad comment/rating. my dad was an ebay seller for a few years, and he encountered many people who just never got in contact with him or payed, and theres nothing he could do about it.

they dont gain money selling the playstations, they lose money selling them, they make money from all of the games

I hope your talking about ps3s on ebay, not anything on ebay in general, because my pops has hundreds of auctions that have gone into the thousands range.

yeah 2 sketchy kids in my school camped out since monday, got 1st and 2nd place in the line then got 1st and 2nd place in the line at the best buy across the street, dont ask me, 2 best buys within 500 yards, they also both pre-ordered it at eb games, so they each got 2 systmes, then sold each of their spots in line at the 2nd best buy for 400 a piece, then they broke into a car and stole another ps3, yep thats 5 ps3s

or you could say they must not have been good enough this year... and anyway, i played one today and wasnt really impressed, the graphics were solid but i didnt notice much of a difference from the 360. and plus the only game i could play was nba live and i hate basketball games.
