eBay Bargains - has the PS3 lost its lustre even before it's European launch?

Just had a look on eBay to see what the PS3 is going for in USA. Although the 60gb model still makes some profit, the 20gb is definitely being viewed as the poor relation. Looks like there are bargains to be had, especially with the current exchange rate.

All of the buzz seems to have left the Sony PS3 brand , and it isn't just because it isn't officially available over here: the buzz seems to have gone in the US.

Ive read on some US forums, that some shops have PS3's sitting on shelves ignored for days

Probably because you can buy it online and in stores at the retail prices

The Canadian price works out at $570 USD for the 60gb

Also, the fact that most won't come in time for Xmas will generally mean people are willing to wait until prices drop even lower.
