throwing my 2 cents in... First of all, it is to the interest of Sony,MS,Nintendo to ship out as many unts as they can pump out. They make the money on the games people buy in addition to the console. They actually lose $$$ on the console. (***Game Developer so I know alittle on this topic***) I think eschmunk has every right to charge whatever he wants for the PS3. That being said, I also believe its people like him jacks up the $$$ more than it should be. I'm just going to wait till the dust clears and I can walk into a local retail store and pay retail or less. ;D |

They aren't available, but that doesn't mean they are worth more. They are worth $500 or $600 respectively, not anything more than Sony set the MSRP for. Just because someone hikes up the price because they claim they are doing someone a favor doesn't make it worth that much. That is some jacked up logic there Chad. @seller - don't be a smartass. Why don't you sell it for the actual price? No one is asking you to sell it for $250. If you sold it for what it's REALLY worth ($500) plus shipping I'm sure it would sell today. I mean think about it, you're charging such a "good price" for it, but why hasn't it sold? Because it's not worth the price you're asking. It doesn't matter how much you make at work or how many hours you spent sitting waiting for it. It's still not worth more than the MSRP. |

That is the logic of how free markets have worked since the beginning of human commerce. MSRP is irrelevant until supply can meet demand. If you don't like that I'm sure you can find a willing discussion partner in a Soviet bread line back in 1975. |

Otherwise gasoline would be $200 a gallon, and we'd be charged for air. So, to quote you - "like it or not", it's not worth it. Get over it. |
| ChadTower:
Gasoline isn't $200/gallon because there is surplus supply. When supply cannot meet demand it will be $200/gallon. Air has an unlimited supply. No charge. "Worth" for a consumer item is a relative decision. People who are paying think it is worth that much. That's why they are paying. You, clearly, do not. Your concept of the value of the system is not universal. The secondary PS3 market is concrete proof of that. |
