What this thread is missing is the quite obvious fact that the people who pay $3,000 on eBay for an PS3 are a huge minority. It's not like everyone who didn't get one is willing to pay $3k for a PS3. It's just a few rich parents who want to satisfy their kids. Nothing more, nothing less. Stating that Sony could raise their price to $3,000 and see the same sales is absurd. The actions of 1% of the buyers market is not the same as the rest.

Hell, most of the people in line to get a PS3 aren't even there to sell it on eBay. They're waiting in line because they want to be the first to obtain and experience the new generation of consoles which is always a big deal.
