- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -4/+15Sucks to be you I guess. I have an army of homeless people ready and waiting. I'm watching them eat hot soup right now.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -3/+14What is wrong with that? All they need to do is stand in line, Then they get paid like 100$.
- MSTK, on 10/12/2007, -2/+11Speaking as an impartial observer, I don't see how ANYONE can keep their PS3 and play with it knowing that they're sitting on a solid $1000+ profit right there. There are no major launch titles that I can't wait at least a few months for, and the Blu-Ray features aren't really a high priority for me (I don't think that they are for anyone else, either).
- MSTK, on 10/12/2007, -2/+6That's a good point. If you sell your PS3 now, you can buy two of them in a few months,
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3What about ownership, as in darryl242's comment?
- whatthehell, on 10/12/2007, -2/+4Every apostrophe can be avoided by not using contractions.
- ICSU, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2And they call them unemployable...
- PatrickFisher, on 10/12/2007, -5/+6That's a good idea. I'm going to go find me some homeless people to stand in line for me. It'll save me from the cold... I was not looking forward to that at all.
Oh, wait a second, I can't afford a PS3, let alone paying for someone to stand in line for me. - mjgiorgianni, on 05/03/2008, -0/+0When is the PS4 Coming, I'm ready :) Discounts on Playstation 3 are here! I found them here at a discount http://www.BuyingItNew.com and if you can figure this http://www.FreeBundles.com website out, you can get it for free!
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -10/+10It's worth much more to me in front of my TV rather than in my pocket. The only logic there is that I could sell my PS3 to buy another PS3 + extra money for games, beer, weed, and pizza.
- robbiedo, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1Poor people in the rain. They should visit us in the Pacific Northwest and get some rainfall religion. Feel the green!
- Sp0rAdiC, on 10/12/2007, -3/+2If you want a PS3, get a friend to go with you, buy two, sell one, keep one, and at the end of the day youre happy, playing your PS3, and youve got a few hundred extra bucks. Why the hell not? (My apostrophe key isnt working, it just makes the firefox search pop up, wtf?)
- PacoDG, on 10/12/2007, -2/+1Oh please. Give Kotaku its props. Hell, I hate the site for being so pro-Sony, but I also have to give them props for things like this http://www.kotaku.com/gaming/top/foreigners-and-fights-ps3-jpn-launchs-dark-side-214130.php
- Marthinus, on 10/12/2007, -5/+1PS3 FTW!
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -5/+0Greyhat, whitehat, blackhat, as long as it works, who cares, right?
- DrakeTheRedEye, on 10/12/2007, -11/+4"There are also reports that homeless people were paid to queue for the console on behalf of people now selling them on at a higher price."

Man are you cool, let's use extra money on further advancing into an endless pit of waste of life. Makes you sound much cooler for saying weed also, "I HAVE TO IMPRESS THE GUYZ ON THE INTERNETZ AND SAY I DO LIKE DRUGS AND STUFFZ LOLOL!1111!1!!" - rickcarson, on 10/12/2007, -12/+1Because if it was a _blue_ collar crime, the people involved would be _losing_ money.
Embezzlement & Stock price manipulation ftw!
(And the jails are nicer, and the sentences shorter...) - Jolene, on 10/12/2007, -13/+2Nevermind. He edited his comment. Digg me down.
- PacoDG, on 10/12/2007, -14/+2I was about to submit this, not because of PS3 hitting the 'grey market' though, only because f'n Kotaku got linked from the BBC. Good times for them (im more of a joystiq person myself, but I enjoy both. props to destructoid too)
- itseffinkasey, on 10/12/2007, -13/+1Thats what I'm having my friend do for me...
- DisposableRob, on 10/12/2007, -18/+4Why does it gotta be white, beotch?
