I was curious after hearing all these horrible stories about people lining up, getting shot at, getting into fights, getting trampled, etc so I went and checked eBay. I happened to see a couple of PS3 auctions end. One was sold for $2950 and the other $2895
And some crazy listings from this morning were for $8, 9 even 10K!!!!

There were a few on ebay - one ended up around $90,000. It was a fakeroo and was deleted soon after the end.
My question is - if Sony is limiting production to 400,000 units because there are "problems" - why would anyone want one of the first batch?? Ga I would never buy a first year production car - why would anyone want a playstation if issues were there?
haha the morning it came out i was watching GMA and it showed a bunch of people rushing in to a store i dont know which or where but there was a woman using a mini denim pleaty. made me wonder if it was any of our Louis Lovers here on tPF 
SO got the last preorder at an EB Games here. He just called and they had that last one so he rushed over to pre-order it - no lining up or anything! We were sooo lucky! 
I can't even imagine spending the night in this weather, and some people got trampled, mugged and even shot!!!
Anyway. We picked it up yesterday, he listed it on craigslist, it didn't take 12 hours for it to be sold! Now he says the profit I can use to buy a new purse!!!!
He was also able to order from amazon, this time he's keeping it

I got the Wii this morning at ToysRus. Last night they said they weren't going to open the doors til 10am. We got there at 7am and they starting letting 2 people at a time enter the store at 8:15. We were the 34th in line and when we got ours they only had 4 left. When we left the store the line was still huge. I wanted to let the people in line know that there was only 4 left, but I thought someone would jump us

my teenage son set his alarm for 6:30 am this morning to grab a wii at a local discount store opening at 8. Usually I make him hook up his systems to basement TV but he was so excited, I had him set up upstairs. ( main family viewing TV!)
I love his Wii. I've been playing Wii tennis and its great! The controller is very cool. You use actual movements! (EX. you swing the controller to hit a tennis ball) I dont know exactly how to explain it but you simulate real sports movements with your controller to play. My husband HATES vidio games but had a blast with Wii baseball!

We pre-ordered the Wii last month at Electronics Boutique. They were supposed to have a midnight release and called us early in the evening saying it was cancelled. Daughter was a little bummed out. She wanted to pick her's up on her PJ's!
Anyway, hubby and I got up this morning and went to the mall. The line was over 70 deep for those that didn't pre-order.
They escorted us to a second line where there were only 4 other people waiting who had pre-ordered. They let the pre-order people go in first of course. We bought an extra nun-chuck controller, the Zelda Game Guide and Super Monkey Ball (game) so that she would have another game other than Zelda.
Seamless transaction for us but I feel sorry for those who didn't pre-order. There were only three registers in the store and I'm sure some had a VERY LONG wait!
Hubby is boxing as I type! Sweating like a pig! LOL!
