    Making 16,000 dollars in an hour doesn't mean you make $16,000 an hour. That whole day, or even week he's not likely to make a significant amount more than that.
    He's 20 and he has $3600 to spend on PS3s. I think he's doing ok.
    If PS3 launched over the summer I would've been able to do that too, especially when I'm certain(unless stores change their policies for the launch and won't let you return an unopened one for a refund, and [img]/xxx.gif[/img][img]/xxx.gif[/img][img]/xxx.gif[/img][img]/xxx.gif[/img] even if it wasn't a refund a $3600 credit at Futureshop is practically a savings account to me. ) to make at least 100% of my money back. And if you added my weekly salary onto sixteen grand, it wouldn't look much better.

    I saw the fan boys outside Target last night too. I wanted to beat them up for their stupidity. Then a car ran them over and I felt better and slept like a baby later in the night.

    No, I read that post.

    Still doesn't make it any less retarded. I don't care who you are, $9,100 is a ridiculous sum of money for a freakin' gaming console, and a pre-sale, no less. Even if that kind of money is just pocket change to someone, it's still dumb as hell.

    If you have more money than God, it's still stupid to pay pay sixteen times the asking price for a faulty piece of hardware.

    Why? How is doing something dumb if it has no negative consequences for you?
    "Oh, I don't have 10 grand anymore.
    Oh look I just made 20 grand this week!
    People on the internet must be jealous of me!"

    Oh, by the way. That computer you're posting on; People in Africa can't believe you'd ever be so stupid to spend any sum of money on it, or anything but food for that matter.

    I am LOOKING FORWARD to getting a PS3 when it comes out in the UK. I couldn't give a flying smurf what you anti-PS3 people think. I was considering buying a wii, but after seeing what comments people have directed at me and other people over the past few months, maybe not directly but indirectly, it can wait. PS3 FTW. FTW.

    I bitch about the game a lot, mainly for the lack of story and weak characters, but it is still the best of the series out there.

    Wait, so you're going to buy a PS3 because everyone says the PS3 sucks?

    Logic ftw.

    I can't be bothered trying to compete with the fan-people, or shell out hundreds of dollars on a PS3 when there are still plenty of good games for PS2 I haven't played yet. (XII hasn't even come out yet internationally) I can afford to wait a few years, until PS3's are relatively cheap. Bargains ftw.
    This is a signature.

    ffs, NO.

    I decided a long time ago I was going to buy a PS3 because I actually wanted one. You got that now? :rolleyes2
    Maybe you should read the first line in my previous post. I'm LOOKING FORWARD TO GETTING A PS3.
