how hard will it be to get a ps3...

is it worth buying a few and putting them on an auction site to make some small bucks or will they be to easy to get held of by then?

(UK LAUNCH BTW)

I'd say these are going to be very hard to get hold of at launch, if the launch is still March.

Yeah, if they launch in March (which I doubt), they will be rather rare. Probably go for a tidy profit on ebay.

I would say there would be less demand for playstation 3 as its coming out in march as aposed to before christmas (novermber 17th) but it will more than likely still be very hard to get one as they will be in to small a number for the demand.

You might not see the same sort of percentage profits as with the 360 and Wii though, due to the PS3's much higher RRP.

yeah of course but even if i picked up 3 from work (which in which i get my small amounts of discount) i'm bound to make enought money to possibly get myself a FREE ps3

or even a nice break

its worth the risk as im sure i could sell them for at least retail price

Thats true, but you could still make £100 profit on a PS3 I think.

Oh definately, although if everyone who worked in the industry did this no one would ever actually be able to afford a PS3 :eek:
