well i went around yesterday looking at the lines to see if i could get one and turn it around on ebay, but nothing came of it. beside i hear that ebay is limiting the sellers of the PS3s to people that have a good seller history or something.

There has been reports of

Drive by shootings (with bb guns) against geeks waiting inline for PS3.

Riots breaking out to get PS3s.

Gunned-men stealing 5 PS3's from a EB Games store.

and a convicted rapist getting caught waiting inline for a PS3.


God only knows how many other things have happened due to the PS3

Yeah exactly, like RC said earlier a lot of these guys won't pay and there will be plenty of Relistings.

But it looks like the average is around $2k for it.

3 people in my city got robbed at gunpoint for their PS3. The kids ran, as they ran one of them threw the console to the ground as hard as he could in hopes to break/damage it. Its really sad that some people will resort to such lows to get a video game console.
