mike_pinto Posted November 17, 2006 Share Posted November 17, 2006 Drove past a mall at 6:30 this morning and there was a gaggle you could see from the highway. It was ADULTS waiting in line to get a chance to pay $700 for a Playstation 3. The news said some had been there since Tuesday morning. Look on e-bay and they are selling for over $3,000. What are these people smoking? That's comedy!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TriggerT Posted November 17, 2006 Share Posted November 17, 2006 I checked E-bay earlier today, and one of these damn things was over $4K with 15 minutes remaining. For that kind of money you could go out and REALLY DO whatever you are pretending to do on the video game.

Kory Posted November 17, 2006 Share Posted November 17, 2006 I think they are a little nuts to spend that kind of time and money on video games, but it's theirs to spend. I'm sure mnay of them would think we are crazy with what we spend on shooting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
