Ebay are taking PS3's off of their site on request by Sony....good luck with auctioning it!

Yeah imported ones.

Once it is released it can be listed. You can also list the preorder as long as finished within 30 of the release day.

This was the same was the Wii last year and the PS3 in usa etc....

Yes, but is it worth it? Do you think i would make a profit as it is very expensive to begin with. Or i could just save myself the hassle and cancel the order.

How many people have £600 - £1000 lying around to buy a games console?

I think you know what to do.

I doubt any profit you make will be worth the effort. A lot of people who pre-ordered are just doing so to sell them on ebay. I doubt big profits will be made with these like the 360 and Wii which had the "Christmas demand" hype pushing it all the way.

If it were me, I'd cancel.

i see what you're saying, but i bought a PS1 and PS2 on their release and sold them for a lot of profit. It would be a shame to miss out if prices were to do the same again.

If you cant flog it just send it back to play.com you have a 14day return period.

I have a couple on order. I plan to keep one and sell the other to help pay for mine. If i can sell them back to the shop they go.

I wouldn't worry about being able to shift it.

Demand will, as always with these things, outstrip supply and drive the price up.

Put it with RRP as starting price and I think you'll easy get £100-200 above. Also, if you can sell the games on their own (or maybe trade for 360 games) you'll do better making a profit from the console - a lot of people won't want one in the bundles most places are offering for preorder so will pay over the odds for the unit on its own.
