$1,000,000.00 PS3

The PS3 Preorder Scamming has begun as preorders across America today completely sold out.

Ebay has already been bombarded with people who are quite willing to sell their preorders for double, triple the cash or more.

However, one particular guy took it to a whole new level, selling his PS3 Preorder for a whopping $1 Million US Dollars.

The description reads as follows: "Up for auction is my pre-ordered Playstation 3 Premium system. I was first in line at gamestop, and am guaranteed to get one on Novemeber 17th. I will overnight your brand new PS3 the same day I recieve it. I cannot be held responsible for Sony delaying a shippment or gamestop not having my PS3 on launch day. However, if either of these UNLIKELY scenarios happen, I will issue a full refund IMMEDIATLEY!! Check out my feedback! 100% positive!"

With a buy-it-now price of $1 Million, nobody expected it to sell (not right away, anyway), but just 24 hours later, somebody has bought it.

We were absolutely stunned, and thankful we got our own preorders in. However, then we noticed the username - Thomnook - the name of the shopkeep in Nintendo's Animal Crossing. This seems more than a tad fishy to us - we smell a fake buyer! Or at least I hope for the sake of our sanity that the person who bought this was joking...

UPDATE: It's pretty much confirmed the Buyer was bogus - just some guy having a laugh. However, the seller still seems serious. We've sent him an email to find out if he really means it or not...

We'll bring you more insane auctions as we find them, though heading to ebay and searching "PS3" will give you a plethora of PS3 consoles selling for thousands of dollars.
