kotaku.com— "In fact, we love the Wii so much, we want to give a Wii to everybody on our payroll. To fund this Wii-for-the-People program, we're selling this Sony PlayStation 3."

I wouldn't think so, most people can recognize a fan boy rant when they see one. Did anyone think it was funny though, just came off as arrogant to me.
"PS3 is still one f**king BEAST of a machine that wrecks all the others in power."You're kidding, right? Tell me what graphics card is in the PS3 and let's compare it to the most powerful that's currently out on the market.
This one has a better headline. "Woot! Sells PS3s in order to...." explains just as much as your "Online retailer, Woot! makes fun of...." and captures the joke better than yours did.Try again, and suck less next time.
Not to rain on your parade, but woot was selling at a loss. If they were selling the Wii at $150 (roughly the same loss), I assure you they would have sold an equal amount in the same timeframe. Also, woot's most frequent/wealthy buyers check Woot! at 12pm when new products are released. The timeframe makes sense.The amount sold in whatever timeframe says nothing about the PS3. This had to due with the pricing. If I had more available cash, I would have bought 3 or 4 since you're guarenteed to make at least about $100/each reselling them.

The "deal" was that it was made available.

I would say this is a stupid move, like what they were trying to do? other then symbolic step I don't see any loss/profits.The question remains if to buy wii or not.<a class="user" href="http://www.saywii.com/">http://www.saywii.com/</a>
