The £150 deposit scheme is being considered to ensure that allocation can be more fairly managed. In particular, it is believed that Sony is looking to avoid the ‘eBay phenomenon’ that occurred with the launch of Xbox 360 whereby some consumers who managed to acquire more than one unit – on deposits as low as £5 – sold on their extra machines for well above the RRP.

what sony is trying to do apparently is allocate the first units to the people who paid the 150 up front, i dont see it being too much of a problem and im sure it wont stop the fleabay stealers listing them at twice the price.
