I was going to wait and pick up a console next year, maybe around spring or summer.

I find out last night my nieces want a xbox one for christmas! I told them pre-orders were sold out and I wasn't fighting any Black Friday sales.

What do you think my chances are going to be to pick up a unit at regular (non ebay) price before Christmas?

I'm selilng my launch day consoles (1 each) for $100 over the msrp price. I am planning on buying a console later next year, but I pre-ordered one of each for the hell of it. I still don't know which of the two I'll end up with. If you're interested Jay, let me know.

I'll keep that in mind.

Thanks!

Just made a post about it too. Good luck!

As for the topic at hand, the graphics processor for PS4 is going to have more power it seems. Does that mean for 3d blu ray, there will be a noticeable difference on large tv's? I plan on using my 65" 3d flat panel for gaming on the new consoles.

Doing the same.
The day one edition being sold out will fetch a few more bucks online right before Christmas. Of course to the right buyer.

Good luck with that. I've bought several consoles from people trying to do the same and I've yet to pay over MSRP. I actually saved money doing this because I didn't have to pay sales tax. I also have friends who tried to sell them for a profit, none of them have succeeded. One actually lost over $200 doing this because of sales tax.

You have to remember, there will be thousands upon thousands of people trying to do the same thing all vying for a small group of people.

Yup. Tons of people on ebay right now who bought both systems and suddenly decided to sell them....for a profit. Hmmm

Over 3,100 PS4's on ebay so far and the console isn't even out yet, didn't check out the Xbox. All the ones I saw that was more than $400 had 0 bids. I can't believe some of the prices people are asking, $2-$3k and up

There's a few successfully ended auctions that ended as much as 5k a few months ago.
I notice a lot of foreigners buying electronics at outrageous prices vs The regular US buyer.

You have to camp out for one at midnight if you want it on release date.

Yup, you can buy somebody elses preorder on ebay, but it will cost you. I paid $700 the other day.

Like you said, sold out everywhere and probably won't be in stores until 2014 with exception of a few on release day. I would hate to wait in one of those lines.

I worked at Best Buy for that and the PS3 launch. We had people camped out 2-3 days before the launch.
