How much do you think PS3's are going to sell for(average) on eBay? And how much would you pay to get one? I have a pre-order, and I'm questioning if I should sell it or not. I REALLY want one though, and I only preordered one.

Assuming Ebay doesn't crack down, I think you're going to easily see upwards of $1500 a pop for factory sealed PS3's for probably a good month or two following the launch day.

It's all going to depend on how fast Sony can fill that gap and get more units out on the streets to fill demand.

I personally would not pay more than normal money for it, regardless of any situation.

The only reason people get gouged like that is due to sheer impulse and impatience.

I still can't believe I saw people spending past a grand on Xbox 360's last year.

I'd have to agree with JTK, at least $1500 through Christmas.

I completely agree. It just doesn't make sense to me that people would pay this kind of money when they can just wait and get them for msrp a few months later. Weird.

That said, yes, they will go for right around $1500, perhaps even a bit more. Crazy!

Unless blu-ray is bad on the PS3, which I doubt, I won't sell.

Damnit. That's almost $1000 in profit. That really makes me want to sell it now. Please convince me not to.

Its only money?

You will have a long wait to get a player with 1.3 hdmi and bd-java capabilities, meaning buying the ps3 back in 4 - 6 months (maybe)?

You get to tell all your friends your playing games and watching blu-ray movies on the PS3, and tell them how great it is.

Check out the titles of BD movies coming out.
