I'm sorry, but there is no reason at all anybody should pay 2 to 3 THOUSAND dollars for a PS-3, much less the 10,000 that someone's listing on ebay as a "buy it now" price.
well, the trick is combining the "turbo-man" hype with the news releases that "well, it's also going to be rare!" (at first, but they don't say that on the adverts or PR).
there were "manufacturing difficulties" resulting in only 400,000 being ready for the debut and not many more able to get to stores in time for Christmas. This is, of course, the same marketting excuse (true or not, i don't care) that Micro$oft used for their original XBox AND Sony used for the PS-2.
one would think we'd get tired of hearing the same old shit every time, but if elections haven't changed, why should video game marketting?
