They'll just think you're weird for walking out with a huge smile on your face just to pick up "Guitar Hero II"

I honestly hope that you don't even sell them. Its people like you that are ruining it for everyone else. What your doing is fucked up and wrong. Taking advantage of other people because your greedy.

There are people that cant even get one, let alone 3. And then for you to make a grand off of each one...

Well, this is a capitalist market dude...he has the right to do that.


That being said, is it nice? No. But, yeah...he has every right to do it and is not much different than me or you setting up a lemonade stand outside on a very hot day.

Well, the PS3 is a touchy subject...just the mere mention of it causes riots, e-bombs, and bitchslaps. It is after rooted in evil...


Like I said, congrats on the score. I wouldn't necessarily do it but more power to you and hope your venture works out.

I know he can do whatever he wants with them. I just think its fucked up... Im not even talking about just kids to have xmas day. I'm talking about just everyone. If I really wanted one, I would camp my ass in front of best buy. But there were people that were turned away from pre-order because said company didn't have enough. Could it be because of asshats like this? hmmmmmm

so you're ONLY selling to parents that are buying for their spoiled kids?

Yea right, you don't care where your money is coming from as long as your profit is maximized.

Asshats? I sense jealousy.

I did nothing illegal. I got my preorders the instant it became available. I along with my friend were the first customers to get orders in. Whoever came afterwards came afterwards. I didn't cheat ANYONE. Its not like I'm robbing the truck and screwing people who should have gotten units before me. I was first.. I don't see anything wrong.

And if your a big enough dumbass to spend hundreds over MSRP you really need to reevaluate yourself.

Jealousy, Hardly...

IF I buy one, I can wait the 2 months that it will take to get more units in.

Cheating people, no.. Taking advantage, YES..

Doesn't mean you contribute by pushing that trend.

If there were less PS3's available because more people that actually bought them to keep them for themselves, fewer people like you would be selling them at the higher price, and so more people would simply wait till the next shipment and prices would remain stable.

Glad to see you think you aren't contributing to the problem.

I guess, the best analogy here is comparing this to an all-you-can-eat buffet that serves lobster (or insert fave food): You have a dude in front of the line for that fave dish who dumps the entire tray onto his plate and leaves none for the people behind him...

And I see ABSOLUETLY NOTHING MORALLY WRONG. Am I selling Child Porn or drugs to minors? NO... What the F is wrong with making a couple bucks on people who can't wait or are too big of fanboys that absolutely need everything the instant it comes out.

I wouldn't say so because food is a necessity in life. A stupid console isn't.

Thinking is one thing, but after I thought about it, I didn't because I didn't want to be greedy. In addition, I don't need to own a console right when it comes out, I have a higher patience level and can simply wait.

There's a big difference between thinking about doing something, and actually doing it.

In your world, someone that thinks about pissing someone off is the same as someone that actually does.

Dude, it's a buffet...

There's more coming in later...people just hafta wait. I think you failed to see my analogy.

The people upset here are the ones possibly behind you in that buffet line-up. They're just miffed they don't get any in this go-round or are just shaking their head at your "inconsideration" of leaving some for others who really want one.

Mind you, I'd probably be more miffed if my must-have games for the PS3 were being released during launch...but, since there's really no killer-app, you can have as many evilmachines as you want.

Actually, I don't think he has the right if he is not licensed and a Sony authorized dealer.

Do what you want with the pre-orders.
Make some extra bucks off of some people who can't wait...and have the money to spend to pay for the mark-up.

If the pre-orders were obtained unfairly......then it's your karma.

I think the reason people are annoyed by this person is because the sole purpose for him creating this thread was to say "na na na na na". And, it's annoying.

I bet he went and did this on a ton of other forums too. Real mature. hahahahaha..
