I've been playing mine for the last 2.5 hours.
AWESOME!!!!
Well worth the meager 15 hour wait.
I was 13th in line (14 people got a box at the location I was at) The first person in line was there tuesday at 9am.

How much did it cost?
I was told that they sell them on Ebay for 1500$
Is that true?

even more. In fact... of the 14 people who waited hours or days for this console (which retailed at either $500 or $600 usd) only myself and one other person intended on keeping thier consoles. The other 12 were college students who plan on paying off an entire semester of tuition by sitting in that line for 2 days. The high end model is going for over $3000 right now. Not a bad investment if you have NOTHING to do for 2 or 3 days. For a fleeting moment I thought about selling my set... then I put in Call of Duty 3 and knew that I could never get rid of it. (at least until the playstation 4 comes out. hehe)

My friend and I were 35th and 36th in line at a Best Buy that only had 34 units. We left at 10:00 PM when we realized this after waiting 6 hours for things to calm down to get a head count. Tents aren't good for lines.
This is a good overview of what went down across the country last night:

I don't know that this is the right forum to be surprised about people spending vastly inflated sums on overpriced and rapidly depreciating electronics.

Go hang out on a Leica forum for a few days. Most of them were ready to drop $20k for the M8 and some good lenses...
