    Will it be worth it to wait in line overnight for a PS3?

    I'm thinking of waiting in line to grab one and put it up on EBay. How much do you think people will be willing to pay right at first? They will be damn near impossible to get for awhile so I'm thinking people might pay some ridiculous amounts...

        People will of course pay a fortune for one. So it probably would be worth your wait. Personally though if i stayed out overnight for one, i'd rather keep it to myself.

        The machine doesn't even get released here now untill March...

              it depends.. if you coud sell it with $1000 profit and that is a amount of money for you, than just do it.. if $1000 is a double vallet tip, just don't do it..

                  I wouldnt bother, people learned from the xbox360 ebay madness and ebay will be flooded with ps3s. That's my anyway.

                        I have a small party of people that will be scouring various stores for them, I want to get at least five units but would be great to get more. Profit is going to be really nice on them thanks to eBay idiots (well... and parents). I'm expecting 1200 to 1400 per unit on Ebay, but it could always go higher.

                              just pre order a couple where you know they'll hold it when you put down a deposit. then go the next day. putting it on ebay at 12:05am isnt that big of a difference than 10:05am

                                  Doesn't sound that way with PS3. They only have 400,000 ready for North America at launch, and only 100,000 for Japan. And with it being Christmas most of those will be gone through pre-orders.

                                  Same with xbox 360, some people that preordered them months ahead of time for the November launch still didn't get them until January or February of the following year.

                                  I'd never buy a launch unit anyway, seeing as how they tend to be the ones full of bugs.

                                    I just reserved mine. Total was about $635. Depending on the going ebay rate, I may sell it or i may keep it.

                                                  So when actually is the release date in America ??

                                                  I'll be interested to hear some feedback from those that do manage to get one, see if it is gonna be worth the wait.
                                                  If it isn't anything groundbreaking, the cheaper 360 will do.

                                                  Fuck the blu-ray shit too...

                                                        I wish that there was some sort of outsourcing company that I could hire to wait in line for me.

Most gamestops/ebgames around here only had two per store, I found one that had six and got five reserved and paid $500.00 (100 per unit, minimum pre-order price).
