Thieves Nab 180 PS3s in Japan

December 6th 2006 | Games Consoles

180 PS3s were stolen from an Ibaraki warehouse in Naka City. The 180 PS3s were valued at 9,500,000 Yen ($82,258 USD) and are likely to start flooding the black market and online auction sites like eBay. eBay for example shows completed auctions for the 60GB PS3 going for between $800 to $1,200 USD plus shipping and handling.

The PS3 frenzy shows no sign of stopping anytime soon. With low production numbers and high consumer demand, almost anything goes when it comes grabbing a hold of PS3.
