PS3 Price Scams

    The way people have been acting since the PS3 launched this week just shows that human society is deteriorating. A guy got shot at a best buy when he didn't give it up, and this is just one of the many tales of violence I've heard.

    The thing that is really bad is the people who are selling PS3s for 2 to $3,000 on Craigslist. While the people selling these things are smart, the people buying them are complete idiots. If you paid more than the retail value for a PS3, which is about $600 bucks, you got ripped off.

    When I posted a thread on Craigs List attacking those posting those ridiculous amount, my post was flagged and removed. First off, you could buy a powerful Alienware laptop for the price that these people are offering for the PS3, and it would be a whole lot more useful.

    Well, what concern would it be to you if other people choose to waste their money?

    what are you going to do? and is this the 17th PS3 related thread this week? :p

    I 'hate' :) the people selling them for $3K b/c they are smarter than I am.

    I 'loathe' ;) those that are buying them b/c obviously they have way too much money to spend on entertainment gear.

    At the end of the day I'll just sit here being thankful I did not get shot :D

    Apparently, people are not allowed to have their own opinion anymore without being attacked :p
