The PS3 will never be a practical Myth F/E in my opinion. I use mine only as a
UPnP control point, and not very often.

Some people are just eBay fanatics, though I'd be surprised to find many of
them on this list. I go to eBay and the like only when I need something I
can't find elsewhere, not to save money. IMHO eBay purchases are risky in
several ways.
I'm convinced that the bids on eBay items are artificially inflated in a lot
of cases, and some people just get caught up in the bidding.
