Sony allows their retailers to sell PS4 at a price $400 above MSRP

After releasing the playstion 4, it very hard to get one on Amazon, bestbuy or any other authorized retailers at MSRP. There are lots of sellers on ebay to resell the PS4, I can understand it because it personal behavior. However, it's totally different on Amazon, as I know, only SONY authorized retailers can list PS4 on Amazon marketplace. There are1-2 resellers on amazon now, who list PS4 at a price $799 which is $400 above MSRP. They have listed it for about 1-2 days and sold thousands of PS4. I'm wondering why sony allow their resllers to sell it at a such high price, however, consumers cannot get one from Sony at MSRP

Its pretty bad if some retailer decided to do this. MSRP is manufacturer's suggested retail price i think or something along those lines. So they could if they wanted to. Are you sure this is the case?

Yes, it seems amazon only allow very very few sellers to list PS4, most of the sellers cannot list it. However, amazon refuse to tell us why these sellers are approved to list it

I'm sure they'll address it soon. Although I'd say more shame on people who are paying those prices. Most retail outfits have confirmed that they are getting more PS4's soon and they aren't sold out. Sure if you go to game stores like GameStop or places like Bestbuy then you probably won't find one. But Target, Walmart, and Costco all had them. I never go to the big name stores because their always sold out, instead just go to your regular stores that you know sells consoles and games and you'll probably find it. Or call first.
