there were 2000 systems on ebay during the pre-sale period
this morning when i listed mine at 8am PST there were 6,500 (damn east coasters had a head start)
now there are over 16,500
being able to walk into a store and just pick a ps3 up off the shelf is still five or six months away. still doesn't justify spending $2k+ on ebay for one though
I sold mine for 3511, no games, no controllers, and was paid in 3 minutes
