EBGames knows there are enough hardcore Sony fans out there to snap up every single machine EBGames can get in its initial shipment, so its going to make tons of money by doing it this way. If any don't sell (which I highly doubt), they can always sell them individually later on. But seriously, if you look at what people are willing to pay for a hot new game system on Ebay, a bundle like this seems like a bargain in comparison.
I don't like it either, but I think it will work.
