Couldn't pass up a PS3 deal....

So my plan was to wait a few months and pick up a 20 gig PS3 when I stumble upon one in a store. I was in no big rush as Resistance was the only game that interested me at this point. I was curious about what they are going for on ebay so I sorted through the buy-it-nows and I stumbled upon one for $499 with free shipping. I'm saving money right there so I snapped it up. The strange thing is the seller just bought a ps3 for over $600 on 12-24. It's a trustworthy seller based on his numbers so the only thing I can figure is that he has to sell it in a hurry for some reason. I guess I was looking at the right time as the next cheapest ones for the 20 gig models were for $580 plus shipping.

Wow, nice job!

Just out of curiosity, is it new as in "not opened new"?

[Americanidle]

Yep, new and unopened box.

Nice. Otherwise I'd have worried it was a bad machine and the guy was passing it off.
