The people robbing or shooting at the people in line or the fact that these people were waiting in line for a week to buy a game console. But I did hear that someone was selling or sold their spot in line for $1300 so maybe it's not so bad after all Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
steveorino 7 #3 November 17, 2006 A guy paid my son $200 to stay in line for 36 hours at a Walmart to get one. I thought the guy was loony. Now it appears my son is the one who wasn't thinking. steveOrino Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PhreeZone 20 #4 November 17, 2006 Most the bids on that one on eBay will be found to be fraudulent and revoked. It looks like the final selling price might be closer to $1500 Yesterday is history And tomorrow is a mystery Parachutemanuals.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

freethefly 6 #6 November 17, 2006 What is even more screwed up is that within a week all of the stores will be stocked to the roof with these things and by the end of next year they will be outdated and a new and "better" game will hit the market."...And once you're gone, you can't come back When you're out of the blue and into the black."

PhreeZone 20 #7 November 17, 2006 Actually, Sony has already said this shipment is about it for the year for the US. If you wanted one for Xmas or even until Feburary yesterday was the only chance to get it.

NCclimber 0 #9 November 17, 2006 QuoteFormer Democrat Senator John Edwards has heavily vilified Wal-Mart and joined the United Food and Commercial Workers in demanding that the company raise its workers’ wages and benefits. In August, Edwards gave an anti-Wal-Mart speech in Pittsburg and has recently partnered with Sen. Barack Obama (D-IL) in a union-backed WakeupWalmart.com anti-Wal-Mart campaign. However, on Thursday an Edwards’ staffer pressured Wal-Mart executives in order to buy the new PlayStation 3 for the former senator and his wife, prior to the game’s release scheduled for Friday. The staffer is reported to have used the senator’s name, in order to receive “special privilege”. Edwards, who has said that he does not and would not shop at Wal-Mart, blamed his staffer for the purchase and stated: "He made a mistake by using my name. He was simply trying to help." Wal-Mart executives issued the statement: "Wal-Mart welcomes Sen. Edwards to visit his local Wal-Mart store and explore the extensive line of home electronics as well as the Metro7 shoes for men and boys." Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lastchance 0 #10 November 17, 2006 I think your son should have stood in line for himself, bought two and sold one for enough to cover the cost of both. Or more. I may be getting old but I got to see all the cool bands. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
