I just really suprised about all the drama this is turning out to cause. It is somewhat entertaining just to read the post. I am glad though there are a few that are on the same side I am, looking to make a sound financial decision.

Show us a PS3 that sold for $10billion.
And show us a PS3 that is worthless after the Xmas demand. They will still be worth retail price at that point. Not worthless.

So? Scalping isn't morally wrong. It's supply and demand. I can get something, you cannot, I'll buy it and sell it for what you are willing to pay. It's just a toy. It is not an item that is necessary for anyone for any reason.

Well, it isn't morally wrong for jerks that want to hike up the price but it is for people that get ripped. As for the 10billion dollar PS3... *somebody* can't read exaggeration in print.
You were trying to convince people that doing this with the PS3 is 'completely different' from scalping. You were wrong. I corrected you. You then admitted it was wrong. (see your "So?" comment)
As for the PS3 being worthless, that's not what I meant. I meant selling them for $1500 or whatever this guy is asking will be worthless because they will be readily available. It helps to read sometimes.

The buyer knows they will soon be readily available and made the decision to pay the premium to play the system today instead of in a couple of months. You act as though the buyer doesn't realize the system will eventually be readily available and that they are being ripped off by the seller, when that isn't the case.

Only problem is, the 'premium' you guys are talking about is actually $600. Not $1500.
