[quote name='White-Wolf']what about the ps3? Is it right to resell a system on launch day? what kind of gamer would sell thier game system before they play it? I dont mean to hijack this thread but my thread was closed and i was told to go here. so here i am. What do you think will happen when the launch price ebay bubble bursts? what kind of repercusions could this have on the game industry?[/quote]
My opinion is that people should be able to do what they want. They paid for it, now it's theirs. They can sell it, keep it, play it, destroy it, whatever. If people are stupid enough to pay $1000 over retail for a system, let them have it then. The 'ebay bubble' will burst eventually and the price will go down when the system becomes more readily available. There were no repercusions on the game industry with the 360 and there won't be with the PS3.
