Ebgames/Gamestop to accept PS3 preorders on 10/10/06

That could be on the deposit. When they were accepting them in the past it was $50.00. I think my 360 was $50 as well.

I'm not sure who engulfed who in the merger.
 
At first I wanted to get one to go along with my 360, then I started seeing the reviews, then the price came out for it. Screw that, I'll keep my $600 bucks no thanks
 
Buying one to sell on eBay is just not worth my time.

1 - EB/Gamestop will do packages...so you're looking at over $800, just get one from there. Then, add eBay fees, Paypal fees, Tax (from EB), Shipping fees, etc...and you're gonna have to sell it for over $1,050 JUST to get $100 free and clear profit on it. You won't find too many people that will pay that....there weren't even that many 360's that went for over $700-800.

2 - If you want just the system....you'll have to camp out for it. 8+ hours overnight, in the cold at Best Buy, Circuit City, Wal Mart, etc....just to have the chance to get one. Then...you're back to adding eBay fees, Paypal fees, Tax, etc...you're still gonna have to sell it for over $800, just to get $100 clear. And is $100 really worth waiting in the cold all night, and all the hassle? I'd have to at least get $200-300 clear, for it to be worth my time....but then you're talking about a harder sale.

3 - People remember the success of the 360 on eBay last year. But that was also the ONLY next gen system available for the holiday last year. It was the hot ticket item. Now...you've got 3 next gen systems battling it out. The PS3 is gonna be a harder sell on eBay...than the 360 was last year.
