I hope PS3 scalpers get shafted
I waited at two different stores yesterday and this morning for a chance at a PS3, and of course didn't get one. I wouldn't have even minded so much except that nearly everyone who won a PS3 in the stores' raffles would proudly exclaim that they didn't even want it, they just wanted to jack up the price and sell it on eBay. This is capitalism at its worst. And all the reports about shootings and robberies at game stores and PS3 waiting lines will be characterized as "look at how insane hardcore gamers are" when the only people to do such things are after the big sell! No gamer would rob a GameStop of all its PS3s or rob a line of waiting gamers at gunpoint. The most responsible thing true gamers can do is not buy ANY PS3s for over retail. That's the only way to show the greedy opportunists that we're not going to let them ruin things for the rest of us.
