And yet, Harry Potter's cousin got one as early as 1992. :yes:

It looks like these limited edition Ps4's may have sold out already with one of them going up for thousands of dollars on the ebay auction site:

Wow, I know this was a special deal and all but that is an absolutely ridiculous amount of money for a game system imho.

I wish there were some device that only allowed the sale of limited items to people who really want them, not to people who only buy them as soon as they can so they can re-sell them later at inflated prices. These limited items would not be sold out if they had not bought them all in the first place... :(
