I've yet to see someone come out ahead by doing this. Most of the time they end up losing some and the rest of the time they just come out even. I've bought 4 launch day consoles this way from other people saleing them and all 4 times I paid less than what the console would have cost in a store, the Wii I bought 2 weeks after release I got for $50 below retail and that was even after I paid shipping and surely most of the people here know how hard the Wii was to get ahold of when it first came out. I had a friend that when the PS3 came out he bought 3 extras with the same idea. He ended up losing about $100 time it was all said and done.

You have to remember people know what these consoles cost in a store. They see the $400 price tag in a store and the vast majority of them will set their limit to $400 or $400 + shipping mean while you had pay sales tax which you will lose. You are not the only one with this idea, there will be thousands of different people on ebay trying the same thing. Why would I spend an extra $50-$100 on one that you have when there are thousands just like it for sale below retail that I may win instead.

I can't tell you how many times I beat that game growing up, just one of those great games you can never get enough of and I'm glad to see it come back all cleaned up

They also remade ducktales from the NES, hope they continue this and remake more classics, instead of just giving the original game and give us something new with the old games
Yea I would love to play these games again but I don't like downloadable only games so I most likely won't buy them.

For the most part I'm the same way with the new games, but with the older games I don't mind download only

Got this note from Amazon early this morning.

The cool thing is I now have the launch edition which wasn't the case before. There were probably cancelations

I wouldn't need to buy 2 because if someone offered me 50 or 100 bucks more for this one I'd do it. LOL

Just got lucky... PS3 always had the great DVD players. I've been out of gaming so long I'll have to re-learn all the damn buttons again..
