This kind of exploitation of a new console is disgusting. It's not even in the spirit of ebay.

I hope Sony and ebay meet to discuss the potential problem, I appreciate there is nothing technically illegal going on, but it is totally unfair for someone to cash in on the interest in PS3 by snapping one up, with no intention of even opening the box, but simply to sell it for a profit. Hateful. I don't know how these people sleep.

The paying public should simply ignore these ebay sales. But isn't it a joke that the main criticism the PS3 gets is its price; and yet some idiots out there are likely to pay nearly twice the price if they get on via ebay! Let's hope sony get the console production up to speed quickly and not repeat Microsofts disasterous delays.
