    eBay UK bans PS3 import sales

    http://www2.ebay.com/aw/uk/200611.sh...06-11-16135514


    We wanted to let you know about some restrictions that will be placed on pre-sales of the Sony Playstation 3 console and games. To protect the whole eBay community, sellers will not be permitted to list PlayStation 3 consoles and games on ebay.ie until the authorised European pre-sales period begins in February 2007.

    Protect? HA! The only people they're "protecting" are themselves.

    So what? Whats wrong with them trying to protect the company from a sony.

    Blame sony for not getting the consoles out intime.

    Doesn't make ebay's excuse any less laughable. Why can't they simply tell the truth?

    For all you youngsters, Sega did the EXACT same thing in the US w/ the Dreamcast, and kept it up until the system was discontinued.

    It does only mention ebay.ie - the irish version. there still seems to be a fair few on the uk version.
    edit: just realised it also mentions ebay.co.uk further down. Still, there are quite a few still on it.
