The Sony Playstation 3 console is without doubt the hottest item on the market at this moment. Thousands of individuals are searching for one to purchase, unfortunately most retail stores throughout the United States are only able to stock a handful. People were reported to be camping outside these stores the night before to get their hands on one. Due to their limited stock some stores choose to give each person who showed up on the release date a ticked. Then drew their numbers from a box, those with the lucky tickets had the pleasure of purchasing the Playstation 3 console.

For anyone that was unfortunate to miss out on purchasing from a retailer, it is going to cost a lot more to get one elsewhere. Ads are appearing in the newspapers all the time offering them for sale. Online auction site eBay and Yahoo Auctions are selling them like hotcakes. The opening bids in many cases are several hundred dollars more than the system would cost you retail.
