i dunno bout that one...there are some people that care more about dumping & profits rather than keeping a good thing alive. u know who i'm talking about.
I'll bet you a Benny that lavendar albino pieds won't be $500 in six months.

:confused: The sales "stunt" didn't cause anyone to get killed. Some bad guys see a group of people standing around and take the opportunity to try and rob them. That could happen ANYwhere a group of people choose to gather.
I don't see this as anything to get upset about or anything that "needs something done" about it. It's just one of those silly things in our society that is fun to watch from the outside...and maybe even exciting for those participating.

Well like that news story said, a Best Buy got smart and handed out 140 tickets to the first 140 people and said "go home, come back when we open and give us your ticket"....

Think about this though.If you invest 3k into a snake you can make offspring to recoup your investment.If you spend $600+ on this plastic game box in a years time it will still be a plastic box,just worth less:8: :8:

Well, if we've got to start calling names now ... I guess I'll try and take that as a compliment?
I don't think paying what I need to pay so that my son gets what he wants for Christmas makes me a nutcase, I just want him to have a great holiday.
Well, maybe I'll get outbid and then be "sane". :rofl:

Never buy a system at launch. Always bugs and god forbid it's defected. Yeah the graphics looks great but man those people are just about vanity and want the same status of "Look I have a 14 foot burm" as compared to "I have a PS3!"

These toy companies do this crap every year and now people are getting crazier thinking they can not live without these games a couple more months.If i was a kid now i would prefere to wait a couple months or longer for this game box,then lose a parent or a family member waiting to buy this plastic box.:(
