No bulk sales, no hoarding, no broken street dates, no holding. Here's the full official list of what Best Buy can't do with the two new consoles.

The 4 Big Don'ts No bundling. The sale of a PS3 or Wii hardware unit shouldn't be conditional on the attachment of any good or service under any circumstances. Best Buy will offer PS3 and Wii hardware at the prices listed in the ad. No bulk sales. PS3 hardware (20GB SKU 8008513, 60GB SKU 8008489): Limit one per customer until further notice PS3 software and accessories: Limit three per SKU, per customer, until further notice Wii hardware (SKU 8008559): Limit one per customer until further notice Wii software and accessories: Limit three per SKU, per customer, until further notice Clarity around one per customer policy: If you start with 20 PS3s, you'll sell one PS3 to each of the first 20 people in line with their own form of payment accepted at Best Buy. For example, if Mark, Rick and Steve all come in for a PS3, Mark can't use his credit card to pay for all three, not even on three separate transactions. No sales before the hard street date. Don't display or sell PS3 hardware prior to Nov 17. Don't display or sell Wii hardware prior to Nov. 19. No transaction activity whatsoever. This includes sold orders and employee sales. Contact Ask the Bus on the Media page of Employee Toolkit immediately if you observe any other retailer displaying or selling PS3 or Wii hardware before their respective street dates. No holding product for individuals. Don't hold any PS3 or Wii units for any customers or employees. The also applies to customers who purchased a defective unit. Vendors will be able to expedite customer exchanges faster than retailers. For these customers, Sony and Nintendo have toll-free numbers.
