PS3 for US$ 2,000 on eBay, but is it worth it?

eBay’s ban on PS3 auctions is not quite over, but expect the price war for the next-gen console to start at around US$ 2,000. And you thought its normal US$ 600/US$ 500 price tag is expensive. The question is… is the PS3 worth all that cash? Two freaking lucky Washington journalists were able to test drive the PS3 courtesy of official PS3-pusher Joshua Weinberg.

Washington Post columnist Mike Musgrove and freelancer Daniel Greenberg did what others can only dream about for now, and their verdict is: “There are worse ways to spend a Friday morning.”

The two reported window glass cracking realistically when shot with a virtual bullet, to which Weiberg crowned the company physics guy who may have spent six months to perfect it. The PS3 PR guy then showed off Genji, one of the games in the console’s starting line-up. The journalists described the intro as something out of “Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon.”

Musgrove and Greenberg didn’t say if they would be bidding on the PS3s that will soon appear throughout eBay, but this may probably be only because reporters don’t make as much money as The Donald. Or do they…?
