I just went by Best Buy in California, and there's a line of people camped out to buy the PlayStation 3, which doesn't go on sale until Friday!!

Is this crazy, or am I way behind the curve???

Not crazy--potentially lucrative.

For a night in the cold and a $600 investment, you can turn around and sell the sucker on eBay for $3000.

What's crazy are the psychos who pay $3K for a video game system.

Yea...I was considering doing it purely for the profit. Anybody that gets one can put it up on ebay and make more money than I do in two weeks in profit.

We should take turns driving by them from 9pm-6am honking horns.

They have lines in front of Target & Walmart already?

Wonder how many of them will stick out it in this nasty rain we are going to be getting today?

It is probably a 50/50 split of peopl ewaiting in line. Between people who want to make a quick buck on ebay and people who have to have it the second it comes out.

There were only 400K PS3's releases in the united states which will put them in very high demand and turn a very nice profit when it comes to selling them.

WRONG!!!

SAN JOSE, Calif. (AP) — People pining for the sleek PlayStation 3 gaming console might find shortages on EBay as well.

The unfettered online marketplace for such items as Elvis memorabilia and Ferraris is imposing restrictions on the PS3, which is expected to become one of the hottest holiday gifts when it hits stores Friday.

Only established EBay Inc. vendors — those who have racked up comments from at least 50 previous customers and have positive ratings of at least 98 out of 100 points — can list PS3s before Friday. Each vendor can only list only one PS3 per EBay account.

The listing must include a photo of the pre-order receipt, and the seller must guarantee shipment within 30 days from the date of purchase. Before Friday, PS3s can be listed on EBay only in auction formats — not as "buy it now" items.

Potential buyers, trying to avoid long lines, rain checks and empty-handed sales clerks on Friday, have already bid up PS3s to US$2,300. The suggested retail price is $500 for a basic PS3 with a 20-gigabyte drive and $600 for a version with 60 gigabytes, built-in wireless and a Blu-ray DVD player for high-definition video.

Sony Corp., which has already delayed the PS3 launch twice, expects to have 400,000 PS3s available for its U.S. launch. EBay listed 3,144 PS3s or related items by Wednesday morning.

The restrictions, part of EBay's standing policy for all ``pre-sale" items, also apply to Nintendo Co.'s competing Wii console, which goes on sale Sunday. EBay had 2,354 listings for Wiis and related items.

Microsoft Corp. launched its Xbox 360 console last year.

"We've seen a history with highly anticipated game consoles in extremely short supply during their initial launch," EBay spokeswoman Catherine England said. "With the Xbox, we saw a high number of well-intentioned sellers unable to meet obligations due to restricted supply."

That restriction is only for "pre orders". There is nothing to stop someone from posting on eBay once they have the game in hand.
