PS3 Race Game
(Melbourne, Florida) The Sony® PlayStation 3 (PS3) is due to hit the stores on Friday the 17th.
Already, rumors have hit the Internet about the popular video game. Reports of pre-sale prices skyrocketing to over $9,000.00 on eBay and earlier today stories were told of eBay halting the pre sale of the PS3 games.
I did not see this supposed sale of over nine thousand dollars, it was called in to the Philips Phile a local radio talk show on Real Radio 104.1 this afternoon. The rumors of eBay halting the auctions of the presale receipts was just that, a rumor.
They (eBay) did make a new set of specific rules for the pre-sale of PS3 games on the eBay auction site where the sales of the game are still hot.
I called the local Wal-Mart here in Melbourne, Florida to see how they were handling the sale of the Sony® PS3. The Wal-Mart electronics department told me that the game would not be available until after midnight on early Friday morning. They also told me that there was already a line waiting. I had heard that people were willing to camp out at the local Wal-Mart and wait in line, so we took a ride over to see the people in line.
Chris Cline of Melbourne, Florida was 2nd in line at the Wal*Mart where the line already had 10 people waiting. Chris told me that he had been in line since 10 am and came prepared to stay the night outside. Chris is planning on giving his prize to his brother.
Ryan Elmusian of Melbourne has been in line since 11:00 am and says he plans on keeping his new Play Station. It looks like the Play Station camp out may become an annual event for Christmas Shoppers.
Update:
I watched in amazement as the sales of the popular PS3 video game went soaring through the roof on eBay the next day. I took screen shots of the closing bids of 2 more auctions that went for top money.

ABSOLUTELY UNBELIEVABLE!!! I AM GLAD MY DAUGHTER IS A THIRD YEAR COLLEGE STUDENT. CHRISTMAS GIFT BUYING FOR KIDS IS NO LONGER FUN AND VERY EXPENSIVE!!!!! I hope that the poor souls camping outside Wal Mart brought plenty of food and a cooler of soda. A coffee maker would come in handy in the early morning hours!!!!!!

Hubby was watching the news showing how long people have stood in line and are STILL are in line for the PS3. I quote” THERE IS NO WAY I WOULD STAND IN LINE LIKE THAT FOR ANYTHING”!!!!!! He said those people are “NUTS”!!!!! You can tell we do not have any little kids around!!! OR…..PS3 in something HE does not want. I am glad that I do not want a PS3 for Christmas because I would be out of luck. The price will go down in a few months…like the VCR, DVD PLAYER,COMPUTERS,CELL PHONES etc……everything gets old fast. The people who are still in lines are some real dedicated folks. God Bless them all.

I think that if I was able to buy an item for 700.00 and sell it for over 5,000.00 in the next day, I would stand in line for 48 hours. That is pretty healthy payment for doing so.
Do you see the screen shot of the one I saw go for over $10,000.00? Wow!
