PS3 60GB

[tm11]

Hi All

i was selling a psp on ebay but they then cancelled the auction and said
The current release date for the PlayStation 3 in the EU is not until
March 2007. Therefore, listing PlayStation 3 consoles and software is
not currently permitted on eBay.co.uk. Although PlayStation 3 consoles
and software are available in other countries such as the United States
and Japan, listings for consoles released outside of the EU are not
permitted on eBay.co.uk.
I brought the ps3 last week from china with the intention of selling quickly on ebay.
Its bran a brand new region free 60gb version with uk power cord.

If anyones interested, feel free to get in touch, can send pictures etc to prove ive got it, also collection is welcome.
cheers

Tom

Ebay states you can sell 1 x ps3 as long as you scan in the receipt etc...

I wish that was the case but this is what i was told today, i did also have receipt in picture along with username, date and signature.

I'm happy to explain why this listing was removed from
the site.

I would like you to know that I realize you did not intend to violate
policy when you listed this item and I apologise for the inconvenience
this removal has caused you.

However, in accordance with our User Agreement, items prohibited by eBay
Listing Policies are not allowed to be listed on the eBay site. This
listing did not comply with eBay's Pre-Sale Listings Policy.

For this reason, we have ended your listing and credited all associated
fees to your account. We have also notified all relevant bidders that
the listing has been removed.

The current release date for the PlayStation 3 in the EU is not until

and Japan, listings for consoles released outside of the EU are not
permitted on eBay.co.uk.

Our top priority is to ensure that eBay remains a safe and reputable
place to buy and sell. This policy is intended to protect members from
possible fraud at a time where demand exceeds supply volumes.

eBay will permit listings for EU PlayStation 3 consoles and software as
early as 30 days before the EU PlayStation 3 release date (from February
2007), provided they comply with eBay's Pre-Sale Listings policy.

Send Sony PS Europe a thank you letter since they're the ones putting the legal screws on ebay.
So much for FREE market trade, eh?
Remember, they also got a Japanese merchant to cease selling certain items (lik sang, IIRC) relating to PS2, IIRC.
Bastards - absolute shower of cvnts.

PSP and sued in to oblivion. It is, AFIK, illegal to import Sony goods in to the UK which are not destined for this market. So your PS3.... it's technically hot according to Sony. Personally, I'd just hook it up and start playing.

If I buy a PS3 when in America next week, can I just plug it in over here and it'll work? I understand it might be wise to buy a transformer to downstep our 240v to 110v as well though.

Is the only issue going to be that I could only play US region games and US Blue-ray and DVD's on it?

Get it and check the writing on the power brick, often adapters are multivoltage but have a figure 8 or kettle lead with the appropriate plug on it. if it doesn't say 240v on it then you're going to need a transformer.

If Sony say the PS3 isn't region locked... I wouldn't belive them. Blue-Ray will probably (I've not looked) have regions codes the same as DVD did, this will in essence mean you have a Region 1 (or whatever) Blue-Ray player.
