Well, as most of us know, the PS3 goes on sale Friday. I was thinking...the PS3's are currently pre-selling on ebay for around $1,200...they retail for $600...I want in on that! I was wondering about the release of the PS3...I assume they are released midnight on Friday...so I was wondering about what time I would need to get to the store to get one before they go out of stock, and I was also wondering if there is a limit on how many you can buy?
I would prefer to buy one at Wal-Mart or Bestbuy (I have gift cards for both), but I would be willing to go about anywhere...ebgames, circuit city, etc.

in my area, the walmart is getting 14 of them, and they will start letting you camp out the day before at 7:00 pm. that's like 29 hours. have 2 people camping out for me. i'll be ebaying them and splitting the money with them ('cause i'm fronting the money and listing them) if they get them. i'm hoping to get 2. if they get more in before xmas, i'll do it again. i could use the xmas money. i'll post an ebay link if i get them and list them.

Lol, if they were so readily available online, do you think they would be pre-selling for more than twice the retail price on ebay?
