Re: PS3 release/purchase/resell
It is impossible with Return & Exchange policies to lose any money on these type of investments. Go crazy and get all of these you can afford and find and then eBay the hell out of them. If for some reason the bottom falls out of the market return them for a refund to the retailer you got them from.

Re: PS3 release/purchase/resell
You can not go anywhere and preorder a ps3 console. Or a new Nintendo Revolution. The ps3 is likely due for a november launch. I would ballpark and say the system will at least be $399.
I constantly call my gamestop and EBgames to see if there is any update on preorders. They all refuse to take any preorders until they have an idea of the cost and how many units the store will get. I plan to buy at least two of them. One to keep, one for ebay. The key is to put a deposit down as soon as they allow it and have it paid off in full so you are guaranteed a unit. I plan to purchase online through amazon/gamestop/whoever that can guarantee it is shipped on opening day. I dont care how many people across the US buy a new ps3 just for resale, they will be short supply all across the country.

Re: PS3 release/purchase/resell
The reason none of the major chains have pre-orders available is because historically new systems are offered for pre-order after E3 in May when the system "officially" debuts and the pricing is announced.

[/ QUOTE ] Exactly. They will eventually be preordering in most video game stores. I definitely won't be ordering any online, this will be an all B&M venture.

Re: PS3 release/purchase/resell

Re: PS3 release/purchase/resell
Has anyone effectively gotten a presell from any of the major game chains yet? It's fun to go to GameStop and GameCrazy every other day, but it might just be a national date, so if the first person just posts here it'll be a lot easier.

Re: PS3 release/purchase/resell
GameStop told me they won't have presales until Sony formally announces a date and price for the PS3's release.
