Why wait for several days when you could have just camped a few hours for a pre-order? Is this a competition for the biggest idiot?

They should get a job instead, and make the same amount of money from working (assuming they were going to fleabay the item) over waiting for PS3.

9 days x24 hours= 216 hours

At a CA minimum wage of $7/hour ( I think), that equals= $1512

That's probably more than what you can get from ebaying it.

Eben if you worked say, 12 hours a day, that's still ~$750 at minimum wage.

And the scary part is there will be 100 joining them in the next couple days.

good luck finding a job that will let you work just for a week or 2 though. thats the problem.

No, actually now that you've said that, make me think that it actually makes more sense to get a PS3 than otherwise... People have been making lots of money off the PS3.

If they're buying them to resell, they're idiots.

If they're buying them to play... they're still idiots.

If they're doing it so they can make a movie about waiting in line for the PS3... they're opportunistic idiots.

Why the hell didn't they just preorder? I walked into my EB at 9:50am and am #8 on the list. No waiting or anything. Of course, now I won't be picking up my preorder... but I'm #8!
