I KNEW IT! I had a feeling something like this would happen! That's what you get when you bring forth a new product in a very limited number, when you KNOW that many people might want to get some.

Yeah, Sony's marketing department knew it too. That's why they did it. They spent good money to get this media coverage. A lot of good money.Personally I think I'm just going to turn off gaming news as a topic until the PS3 and the Wii has been out for a full day. By then the pre-release hype should have died down.Thank god it's four years until the next generation of consoles is due, and we'll have to go through this s**tstorm of hype again.

"I'm referring to this:"Oh calm down, Sally. He'll live. He's lucky he didn't get his brains spilled on the pavement. The guy would not give up his wallet to the guy who had a ski mask and a f**kING PISTOL and SHOTGUN pointed at his face. If he had died, his intelligence gene would not exactly be missed.For all diggers out there: When you're approached by an armed man who demands your wallet, for f**k's sake just hand it over. Your life is worth more than a few bucks.
