Thoughts on ebaying/reselling ps3's

[dc_publius]

Trip report:
I called EBGames at 1015. The manager said he still has a few systems, but expects to be sold out within the hour. I haul ass to the store.

I get to the store at 1030 and there is no line. I thought it was too late, but I got there in time afterall. I placed my preorder and I'm ready to go. As my order is being filled, the phone rings off the hook constantly with everyone asking about PS3. The manager says that they got the memmo about opening preorders yesterday night and there were 9 people already waiting before the store opened.

I thought about stopping by at 2 malls to see if I can score some more, but I think it's a lost cause. If the out of the way location sells out by 1030, the mall EB Games preorders will be sold out for sure.

Big kudos to crestedbutte for letting us here at 2+2 know about this!
