I noticed they dropped the rates afterwards. I registered this morning and thought it was for PS'ers only. I later read on the eBay Live board that they dropped the rates across the board.
I booked the hotel too. As long as hubby doesn't get mad we're going to the Hilton. lol I booked through the link from the registration page. I went shopping for rates and it looks like eBay got some good rates. According to a bunch of sites I checked with including CAA the rooms are $247 + a night and I got it for $129.
Do you mind my asking what you paid? They have your hotel also for $129 and Crowne Plaza for $98. They say it's 1.5 blocks from the convention center.
