That is what eBay Gnome accounts are for. If you have been around since the beginning you might have a few. Back in the day all you needed was an email to create an eBay account, no confirmation, credit card, bank account.

Pretty sure thats against the special terms ebay has put on ebay sales.

no it's not

there are no terms for once u have it in your hand

there was just no buy-it-now for pre-orders

I feel dumb for not pre-ordering as many of these as I could. I remember earlier this year saying these things would be selling for ridiculous amounts of money once I heard that there was a shortage of Blue-Ray laser diodes. Oh well, nothing I can do about it now.

I wonder how many of these they could have sold today if they actually wanted to. 10 million or so maybe?

All the hype and free coverage was a direct result of the shortage. If they had 10mil units available today, everyone would be talking about how $600 is too much to spend on a console and would be buying a Wii instead until the PS3 came down in price.

Just a couple of week ago, there were tons of fan boy arguments over the price point, performance, and quality of gaming. Today, it's all about the PS3. Wii? What Wii?

wait until Sunday for Wii

also, all ps3 and wii threads are now in mod playground

Well I went to TRU this morning, arrived two minutes after the store opened, and apparently they got 3 of the 60gb and 3 of the 20gb. Somehow two people had gotten there before me, so I got one 60gb and one 20gb. Oh well, we'll see how much I can get for the 20gb.

Haven't shaved all week because of the Michigan game this weekend. It'll be gone Sunday, trust me.
