    i guess it would be worth it if they would even allow you to buy as many units as you wanted, but they are going to limit it to 1, so what, u make $600? i would lose more than that by taking the days off from work...LOL
    Uh huh. Check this eBay auction out.

        I sincerely doubt that one is gonna go through - you know it's a bunch of kids bidding.

          That auction is total crap. It will never actually sell for that much.

          You could kick the shit out of someone coming out of the store that just bought one and get out on bail for a fraction of that, if you want one THAT bad.

            The guy who won that auction had 54 feedback and all 100%. I bet it will go through.

              I agree that auction is probably bullshit. However, it wouldn't surprise me that sometimes someone may bid some extreme high price to "be sure they win" and someone else had already doesn't the same thing making it way more expensive than either expected. Or, just a bunch of no good going on. They're going for about 2-3k I think.

                Yeah, unfortunately. The problem is that he probably did something along the lines of what I said in my post above, bidding a high price that they didnt really want to pay, but thinking that it would stay within the ordinary price range 2-3ish i think, but someone else did the same and that could have been the result (Dont ever secure an auction by bidding way too high so it would be "impossible" for someone else to outbid you.....)

                Humm.... nevermind on that. I just looked at the bid history and it appears he just kept upping his bid AFTER all the other bids were in place. Either that was another ID of the seller or that buyer is on crack.

                    I like situation B best, totally plausable.

                    Serious tho, so many people are wasting their time and money. What is America comming to?? It must be Bush's fault.

                      Actually, I believe it will go through. Lots of celebrities want it and can't get it any other way right now.

                        Checking in guys..

                        Froze my balls of all day. Few people showed up but left since we are the first 2 in line. One guy tried to buy our spots in line. Other's tried to deter us.

                        We look like hobos out here and all the old people keep gawking. Plan on watching some TPB till 7AM. Store maanger came out before close and said that as long as we are still there at 5AM he will go ahead and give us the tickets for them.

                        Weather sucks. Been raining the whole time and it'ssupposed to start snowing a little after midnight. Wish me luck!

                                You realize that one went for $9,100 on eBay right?

                                More like an S50 swap for a PS3...
