She told me to wait and see what the other manager does when she comes in later. I havent opened it yet. I dont even know why i got it as there isnt anything that makes me want it. But i got it and am happy.
this has me wondering...do employees get dibs on these items?
the thing is with all the preorder sales up on ebay before, they actually weren't guaranteed a PS3, my friend preordered a 60 from gamestop, they called him up a few days ago and told him they didnt have enough 60s and would offer a 20gb. another friend of mine ordered from ebgames, they just straight up told him his preorder was cancelled last night, and his number was pretty low too.

People are simply fed up with people like you that are buying shyt up just to make a profit during a time when it should have been the gift of giving. These were released during the xmas sale so that people could buy them as xmas gifts.
If you were a parent and your kid was good all year, and you wanted to reward him with the one thing that he's wanted all year and was looking foward to and couldn't because people like this, how would you feel? I'd teach my kid better and not spoil them, but if you want to give the kid a present for xmas and can't brighten up that one day for them the way you wanted to, I'd be pretty pissed.

Vid of guy slamming into flag pole while running to get a PS3

I saw that this morning on Kron 4 - makes me feel ashamed that I got my American Citizenship
I shouldn't be shocked by this, same shit happened back in the 80s with Cabbage Pack Kids, in the 90s with Tickle Me Elmo and in the 2000s K-Fed Album

The fact that the guy contacted a lawyer is admitting guilt considering it was caught on tape although hard to see. All for a toy.

Stupid companies should have just made everything pre-order/lottery driven. either way they are making their money and they avoid this stupid shit.

I won't buy it from anywhere else, just their no hassle return policy is enough reason...

BTW - I just read that the online store doesn't have background downloading. Didn't 360 owners pitch a bitch about this until MS changed it? You would think Sony would have leared from that.
