AND THERE'S THIS:
Dear UKR,
Ebay changed its fees last month for the videogames category. It lowered the price of listing items to about 10p. However, it now takes more in commission off the backend. A whole nine percent! This means that any PS3 needs to sell for more than 463 pounds to break even - and more than that if they buyer pays by Paypal.
I imagine many of the scalpers will look at the ending value and figure they have made some profit - before the sting in the tail next month when the Ebay bill arrives.

I put a cheeky low bid on one...
The company I use daily for shipping costs a maximum of £7.95 for next day delivery to any destination in the UK up to a weight limit of 20kg, so I'd love to hear their excuse for putting 30 fucking quid.
This... is... SPARTAAAAAA!
xD Couldn't resist, and excuse me while I go wank to this most excellent of news.
A PS3 correctly listed in the videogames (HARDWARE) category will only attract standard fees, and not the 9% you mistakenly quote!
Just thought I'd set you straight on that one !!
I think we should extend this 'war' of ours to include companies who are unprincipled moneygrubbers, i.e. all of them.

This is worrying for a console to get price cuts so close to its launch.
There's also quite a few auctions of unopened European PS3s for over 100 euro belowretail, that have been up for days, without receiving any bids at all, not even when the buy-out price is 100 below.
And then, because it isn't big scary eBay, Sony made them take down auctions of US PS3 consoles. So it's business as usual. Keep up the good work UKR.
