Default Re: PS3 Survey

I doubt this is a widespread issue... But one of the units a local store had as a demo broke 4 hours after they set it up...

Another issue I guess would be that a majority of people who ran out to buy the system are probably going to sell them on eBay...

I dislike it when people do that... My quest to own the Collector's Edition of Burning Blade (to sit it next to my pretty CE of WoW) seems to hit a wall due to the fact that people saw WoW CE's selling for $300+ on eBay when it first came out, and decided they'd pre-order as many Burning Blade CEs as they possibly could so they can keep one and sell the rest (or sell them all)...

And that's not an item you can just "wait to come back in stock like a normal person" for...

Supply and demand, etc... Doesn't mean people who wanted one (but aren't going to spend the insane amount on eBay) will walk away with a big smile on their face thinking "There's always next shipment" (especially when there is no next shipment)...

People are jackasses... Both the ones who sell such items on eBay, and the ones that will pay that much for them...
