Japanese auction sites flooded with ps3s, selling for less then retail - Nov 17, 2006 06:02
With some ps3s fetching thousands and even 10 of thousands of dollars on ebay the story is the exact opposite in the land of the rising sun.

But some of the 4,000 PlayStation 3 consoles up for auction on Yahoo! Japan Wednesday were downright bargains. Some had game software thrown in with the machine, selling near the retail price of about 60,000 yen (US$510; €400) for the more expensive model with a 60-gigabyte hard drive, and 50,000 yen (US$420; €330) for the cheaper model.


DAMN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
