There's a huge difference between someone doing this and the normal bundles. With bundles, even though you don't have a choice of what you get, you ARE paying the MSRP or (ever so) slightly below. With this, you're just paying double the MSRP with no bonuses. With the reports of the console being in such slight supply it is really annoying to think this awful shop managed to be allocated 1000 units. I would assume that Sony is in fairly direct control over unit allocation, so it makes it all the stranger of how they're having 1000 launch units. Unless Sony plans an event at that location (in which case the double MSRP price couldn't be good for image).
D.C. club will have 1,000 PS3s for $1,200 each on launch day
