I passed this Best Buy twice today, should have kept a closer look out. (Yes, that is a dead [and rather flat] ladybug in my scanner) --------------------

I thought you meant MORAL SUPPORT... Group: Members Posts: 6498 Member No.: 2059 Joined: 1-May 06 Status: (0d)	That's one nasty ladybug. But I sincerely hope there's a repeating of the situation in Japan, with awful eBay profits. And scoping out the size of these lines, it'll probably happen. --------------------

Jukku might've been right: there will be a grand total of 50 PS3s in the world that are constantly in circulation. Like a rare stamp, except it plays Blu-Ray discs. -------------------- end of line

The only problem is, I think the number is like 100,000-200,000. While that's certainly not a large number, it's just enough for them to lose out on profits (because Japan only got 80,000, although our population is considerably larger).

I love it when idiots buy out the entire stock of consoles just so they can sell them on ebay for 5+ times the price

I love it even more when that's their intention and they fall short!

Regardless of what system it is, people who do that are almost as dirty as the "smash my *x*" campaigns.

Somebody needs to make a vigilante account on Ebay and bid for $10,000 on every Wii and PS3 auction they can find.

Hope you aren't seriously suggesting that.
