Don't assume that everyone buying a system on ebay plans on keeping it to play... I'm sure many people will be buying ebay systems on the idea that the price will continue to go up.
Self-fulfilling prophecy, really, the more people BELIEVE the price will go up, the more it actually WILL go up
Here's my feedback thread: http://www.digitpress.com/forum/show...ht=FantasiaWHT
Wow, I used to think waiting outside for a day was hardcore. I dont understand the idea of quitting your job in order to buy a game system though.

wow, these people must live with there parents still, get a job and a life
i suppose there will be some degree of 'the analysts say theyll go for 10k at xmas, so this $6500 i bid is a STEAL!!'
i hadnt thought of that.
How many people after seeing/hearing about this did the "Oh shit" and ran down to their stores to wait in line?

I would think from a gaming community they would get a little more support. I mean its their time and money, if they choose to use it to get a ps3 to play more power to them. If they are doing it to sell on ebay, good for them if they get a guy to spend 3K on a 600$ unit. I think most of the "get a life" comments are becuse it is a PS3. Even if it is not going to sell out, him and his buddies want to be the first to get one. So what? I would not do it , but no way would I tell someone else how to spend their vacation, or not to quit their crappy job to get the newest gaming console. But hey that is just me.
Some of the military people I work with are going to stay overnight outside the PX to get units to resell. I guess they figure they have better odds since the base is restricted. Knowing my luck, if I actually managed to get one, I'd trip in the parking lot on the way out of the store and the box would fly out of my hands and under the wheels of a passing dump truck. I figure I might by a used one when people are selling them to get money to buy the new PS4.
I can also confirm that they are in Burbank. My friend was there on Teusday and called to tell me. I couldn't believe it. I had to go see it for myself. I sure as hell am not going to that Best Buy to wait, I'm going elsewhere

They're not there anymore.
A waste of time
Yup it looks like the cops wouldn't allow them to camp out that long. Too bad there is no donkey Emoticons

Or perhaps this will work...
What exactly does a day in advance mean? 24 hours? EXACTLy 10am Thursday you can start lining up? This is just going to = a MAD DASH. Plan on fools knocking heads because of this.
Hmmm...if I had 600 dollars to spend I'd get one to resell and set aside some money for future bills...but I need 600 bucks first....oh wait, only one a few days until it's out. Oh well!
One of the employees told me that the guys got kicked out by the owner of the whole property.

Well, today morning we received our 34 PS3's and there's already more than amount of people by the time I left at 2:00pm. TONS of people just started showing up since we opened today Wednesday morning so the store said "Fuck it" and made a queue line. There were all these teenagers driving up in their trucks grabbing sleeping bags and quoting "Campin time!". Hopefully the store breaks the news on how few we have 24 of the 600$ and 10 of the other, because I know for a fact there were more people than that when I left. It looks like a campgrounds out front.
People are camping out at a Best Buy near my home. News story on it and everything. And included in the vid package for the PS3 story? Yup, scenes of Xbox 360 games and Wii games. Also showed several scenes of the Wii-mote in action!
People started camping out at my job lastnight in Hallandale and actually slept in the store, I'm shocked that managment actually let them do that. They asked them to move outside this afternoon and now they're just sitting out front by the door.
Funny thing is each Wal-Mart is supposed to get atleast 10 consoles, but our store went from having 6 to 4, so management more than likely grabbed some for theirselves. So now if you're one of the 6 that doesn't get one, you get a raincheck.

The line started at the Target I work at (in North Las Vegas) today at around 3 or 4. There was some debate when I left as to whether or not we should kick these people off the premeses, especially since our electronics manager is fairly convinced that the initial group is going to re-sell their PS3s on eBay (and perhaps attempt to score more than one per person, at that).
All the better to dishearten me as I attempt to score a Wii at launch during a 6AM shift.
