Why are they retards? Its simple. Lots of people want ps3. Not many ps3's will be available on launch day. Some of the people in line are going to resell it to try and make a profit. Nothing wrong with that. The potential profit could be more than than what they lose in a day off work, they are unemployed, etc... The others are in line because they really want the system on launch day. Nothing wrong with that either. I'm sure many of us have done the same for concert tickets, boxing day sales, etc...

Don't forget the high chance of getting 'jacked' on the walk to your car after you bought one.

looks like the wait for this started wednesday night.
this is around scarborough/markham/richmond hill from what i've seen.

and walmart/best buy/futureshop's only carrying from 4-12 systems.

i tried coming out this afternoon to post up a spot but was beat by at least 20 ppl there since last night.

damn, i would not spend 2 nights outside nor inside walmart etc just to resell.

someone in the states got shot, it was on the news lol.

He refused to give his up his money while waiting in line at around 3am and got shot in the stomach for the money. This was in the states.

Some guy on HoFo (Howard Forums) is selling 2 ps3's for 2500 usd each.. lol. He took a picture of him holding both of them and everything lol.
Doubt that will happen, ebay is flooded with these things.
