PS3 Craziness Leads to Shooting - $100M? eBay SOLD? - This is nuts!
I’m clearly for spending money and the whole moving the economy thing, but sometimes people get a little crazy over certain products. The IT bag thing is nuts, but apparently nothing compared to tech toys.
So you’ve probably heard something about Playstation 3 and the powerful mania it has people in, if you’ve seen the news or read any website (but there’s a chance you might have not, if like I, you don’t really care for the video game thing). And now a young Massachusetts man has been shot during a robbery, at a Connecticut Wal-Mart, for lined-up customers-saved-and-readied PS3 cash.
The man refused to give his money to the thugs (perhaps partially because some of it was his grandma’s, aww), so the two thieves shot him.
He underwent surgery and was in stable condition this afternoon. At the hospital, the victim was asking for his mom to get back in line for the game console. Hopefully, he and his grandma can still keep their money, and Sony will give him a free Playstation (3, of course, oh natch).
So now video game accessories need to be exclusive, too? with only $400,000 being made and only a certain percentage of that for sale in the US. Many auctions on eBay are going for several, several thousand dollars, one even sold for …
wait for it …
It sold, guys and girls!
When supply does not meet demand, is it on purpose? Is it the evil workings of capitalism and big business? This is nuts! What do you think?
*Update* All of the bids for that auction over $5,000 are from users no longer registered. Wow.
