That's marketing. PS3 has so many compatibility issues I can't believe Sony would release it. But money talks.......
Hope it can be all fixed with firmware and not hardware upgrades.

Its funny that you mention that, one of are favorite sayings for people we see buming around during the day is "they must work nights". No offense to the people that do though

Why on God's green earth would you spend that kind of money on something that has NO PRACTICAL USE????? I would rather spend $600-1K on stuff for my truck. I still can't understand why my roommate spends three hours after work everyday playing PS2. Geez, do something PRODUCTIVE! My roommate trys to get me to play the **** thing "hey man ya wanna play? its fun, cmon try it." No its not fun, it's an enormous waste of time and money! If I wanna do something fun I'll go wash and wax my truck or work on my Charger or ride my motorcycle. Get a hobby for the love of God!

This is funny , My wife is in line right now @ Wally World waiting on one. We have no intention of opening the box. We are also going to sell it to the spoiled little rich kids whose parents will pay a grand + for this stupid thing...
( I think they buy them just to shut the spoiled brat up !!)

On the Adam Corolla show yesterday, he offered an all expenses paid trip to the Bunny Ranch which included a "date" to anyone who would step out of line at a Best Buy in LA. No takers!!

Hmmm... kinda sounds like many new items that hit the market.
A certain brand of truck engine comes to mind.

Rich.

BTW is this really exploiting? This guy has time to wait online, someone else doesn't. Time is money.

(I don't think $5000 re-sale is reasonable but I think $1200 - i.e. double original cost, is.)
