I've caught bits and pieces of news reports and stuff on G4 that somebody is going to shut down the PS3 resellers on eBay. Has anybody else heard this?

That would be ridiculous.

Not quite. eBay is looking to shut down the fradulent pre-sellers, so they instated regulations this time that you need to include a photocopy of your preorder receipt in the listing, etc.

If I had any money to throw around at all, I would have bought every PS3 pre-order I could a couple months ago.

Talk about easy money.

I was under the impression that even the preorders were a pain in the ass to come by.

Well, I didn't even ask around at any stores or anything, so, I would have tried my hardest to lock at least a few down, just to pay for the one I would keep. It might just have been as impossible as it is now though.

Yes, because I'm sure many places have sold more preorders than systems they will get. They did it for 360, so with PS3 being more limited, I'd guess it'll happen again.

You still have to get to the store when it opens (or before) to be one of the preorder people to get a system.

Last Saturday night at 2am, I drove to towards a Toys R Us that was doing presales. It was in the upper 40's, and I saw 15 cars, and about 5 tents and several people camping out to just put down a deposit order.

All I can say, this new console will be so rare to find around the country, you'll feel lucky just to see one at a friend's house.

Paging Idi...

Thank you for drawing this thread to my attention, my friend. The OP is clearly being scammed. He was right to be wary.

If anyone is interested, I have a warehouse full of these things. My corporation is the official distributor of PS3's for Western Africa.

I will gladly ship a few to my friends in OOT. I will even throw in a 10% discount if you mention "Idi sent you" when you place your order. PM me for details, my friends.
