WOW. people are absolutely insane. Give it 4-5 months, it will be $ 600 available everywhere. BUT, why not spend $ 2k and blow your money on stupid things. I wonder if it ever occured to the people paying this $, that they could buy a 360 now (or a helluva lotta games if they already have one), a Wii in 2 months, and then a PS3 in a couple more months, and STILL have $ left over. idiots. ---

Most of the people who would spend 2k on a PS3 have the disposable income so they don’t care. To them the difference between $600 and $2000 is like saying, “Yeah, for 35 cents I’ll supersize that”. ---

I honestly think that the PS3, after seeing the final specs and shit, is actually going to be a decent gaming system (despite all the rumors and shit I’ve read about it). Still wont buy one though as I could spend that 600.00 better elsewhere 😛 but still looks decent. I’d like to see one in action ---

“those who had a preorder but are denied a system on day one will receive something for their troubles. GameStop will give those unfortunate customers (as well as unfortunate employees) a free used game or DVD valued at $19.99 or less when they eventually wind up purchasing the system.” that is kind of a shitty offering for those who were denied. only 19.99? ---

Why can’t stores raise the price on such preorders to reflect “market value”. If people are willing to pay over $2,000 for the thing, why not add a +$500 market value correction? Is it legal? It would be no different than car dealerships selling cars over MSRP… ---

thats called price gouging…I think Sony sets the Suggested retail price and Retail Stores arnt supposed to go over that…Most of the eBay ones are Pre-Order Tickets that have been purchased for Retail Price ---

Is it legal? It would be no different than car dealerships selling cars over MSRP… Because of the free publicity. Market value vs. free advertizing take your pick. It the units had an MSRP of $2,000 they would not sell as well. Mom and Dad are not going to shell out that much cash for them!!! The $600.00 support price for the system is still high. JUST WAIT FOR THE 2ND OFFERING IF YOU MISSED THIS ONE! Besides the units will depreciate faster than used Yugo in 3 years. KK ---

Some real bidder were paying that much. It has stopped hitting 3000 and it right around 1800-2000 now.
