Out Of Stock Consoles Cost More Than The List Price

Unfortunately, if you do miss out on finding the new PlayStation 3 at a retail store and you still want to own one such console, be prepared to pay well over the list price to get one. In fact, if you peruse the classified section of your local newspaper, you will see many advertisements pertaining to selling the new PlayStation 3 and even online auction sites such as eBay and Yahoo Auctions also sell these consoles for which the demand far outweighs the supply.

For those who can find the new PlayStation 3 in stock, buying it can set them back about five hundred dollars and for the even luckier few, there might be some bargains available at less than this price as well. However, if you go to eBay the price could be as high as one thousand two hundred fifty dollars and even more. However, if you do manage to buy the new PlayStation 3, you can be sure that it will come with certain exciting features that will leave you marveling at what you get.

To begin with, the new PlayStation 3 has excellent memory capacity, which is sufficient enough for you to watch TV as well as play many different types of games – even the older PlayStation 1 and PlayStation 2 games. In fact, there is no more powerful gaming console than the new PlayStation 3 available on the market today. To illustrate the point it is believed that this console is twice as powerful as the Xbox and it is supposedly thirty-five times more powerful than the earlier PlayStation 2.

The new PlayStation 3 also lets you play online games at no cost to you, and you can also download numerous games from the Internet and with 256 MB of RAM as well as 3.2 GHz speed and some excellent Dolby sound, you won’t want much more. It is thus little wonder that this is a most sought after gaming console that has been bought by well over five million buyers worldwide.
