Re: Playstation 3

I work at Best Buy here in Edmonton, and I come into work on Thurs night and see a whole bunch of tents and lawn chairs gathered around our entrance.

So I find out people have been waiting since 1 am Wed morning, for that PS3 that we'll release at 8 am on Fri. So about 44 hours of waiting time ahead of them.

So we had about 40 people line up for 24 ps3's.

I talked to the first 3 guys in line and asked them "you guys can't wait a few weeks for the next shipment of the ps3?"

They said "Screw the PS3, we're each getting paid 750 bucks a piece to wait here in line"

About half the line was looking to quickly sell it for a hefty profit, the other half actually wanted to keep it, or give it a son or someone else as a gift.

It's a nice cold evening here in town, so let's hope they bundled up nice and warm.

Re: Playstation 3

That's a little absurd. I wonder how much these things will actually sell on eBay for. I'm going to see if I can pick one up on my lunch break so that I can see what it gets on eBay, although I'm sure that will be impossible to find one.

Re: Playstation 3

As I was posting that last message there was a thing on the radio talking to someone at the MacLeod Trail Future Shop - the dude said that they only got like 15 of them and there were a lot of dissapointed people.

Re: Playstation 3

Well I am not sure if I would feel too bad for them as it has been said that nearly 90% of people are just looking to resell and make a quick buck.

There has also been a robbery and shooting of people waiting in line in the US, along with a drive by BB shooting too, people are freakin nuts

Jeebus Christ! I just watched that auction end at $6700USD .... He included free shipping! lol

The stores here were pretty nuts too. The Best Buy in West Hollywood had a midnight release on Thursday, with 200 units. That was the most I had heard of for any one single store. For the most part, the lineups and tents were at most electronics and department stores in greater L.A.

Re: Playstation 3

I have seen a couple on Ebay go over 10,000 now, just stupid, who is paying this much for something that is worth $800????

That is far too much premium for being the first on your block, I have also heard of a few not even working out of the box
