Prices of Sony’s PlayStation 3 have jumped to nearly $4,000 on eBay after the gaming console was launched in the US.
Just 12 hours after the devices went on sale, eBay reported that close to 800 PlayStation 3 systems had sold at an average price of $2,716.
Sony is launching two models of its next-generation gaming console, a 20GB version at $500 and a 60GB version at $600. Games go for $60 each.
The company started selling the console at midnight on Thursday, five days after the launch in Japan.
Sony made 100,000 systems available in Japan, while the 400,000 units available for the US are expected to sell out within days.
