Swindlers Return PS3s to Stores

This is probably the best PS3 news in weeks. After selling like hot cakes and people queuing for days to get their hands on Sony's next-gen, the time has come for PS3s to get returned to stores. Don't get us wrong, a true gamer would never return a PS3, but scalpers who had as a main goal making money off gaming consoles would.

This is the case of Trevor, who lined up for 18 hours to buy a PS3 on day one and who has been holding on to the next-gen ever since. He says that he wanted to keep it until Christmas in order to sell it for a nice profit. Trevor placed an ad for a 60GB system with one game and an extra controller for US$ 1,540. He had some responses but no deals that went through.

Another PS3 scalper is Dwayne Paul, and according to Hamilton Spectator, he tried to sell a 60GB PS3 for 2,000 bucks. He had no luck either, and both Trevor and Dwayne are planning to return the PS3s.

It would be funny as hell if the stores wouldn't accept the PS3s as returns and would only give the scalpers store credit.

Just imagine a scalper returning a PS3: He goes to the return cashier and says:" I decided I don't want it after all...yeah, its not even opened" or " I bought two and decided to return this one" and the cashier says "Yeah right" and bitchslaps the hell out of him. It would be quite something...
