Buyers this week snapped up Sony Corp.'s Playstation 3 consoles when retailer Amazon.com began offering used product for under $300 through its warehouse division.
Warehousedeals.com this week began offering used PS3 80GB SKUs at $271.99 on Mon. By early Mon. afternoon the available product had sold out.
The warehouse division of Amazon.com says it sells open-box, refurbished, and gently used merchandise.
The quick sellout of a sub-$300 PS3 is a strong indication that the price point may be a sweet spot for the current $399 hardware.

Obviously there's no mention of how many units moved in that lunchtime period to achieve sold-out status, but it's definitely a promising sign that a $299 PS3 would sell gangbusters!
