Default Re: playstation 3 - too good to be true?

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.

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?

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.

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.
