| These people are making me sick, if I would have known that I would have been out at Wal-mart too....Those bumps and bruises would have been worth it......The people at my local Wal-mart were out there for a week sleeping on the ground in line.... Some other people were smart on October 10th they reserved a playstation 3 so they didn't have to wait in line...I wish I would have know I would have reserved a few myself and made me some extra bucks.....

| I find it so sad that people put such importance on material things... Why is what you have so important. It should be what's in your heart and what you can do for others that matters. I guess some people have to have the biggest and best first and they will do what it takes to get it. One person was shot while waiting in line to get one if these dumb things!!! I said to my daughter... so the guy thought he would shoot the person then go buy a Play Station??? NOT... he had to flee so he shot the guy then ran away and for what??? Unbelievable.

| I heard on the news that they are $600.00. On the news the past few nights they were showing people CAMPED outside of the stores.. no amount of money/game system would make me do that.

When the Xbox 360 came out my husband asked me if I would stand in line for him because he had the nightshift and work and would be late. I told him no because I wasn't about to wake up our 3 year old and bring him into that mess. So John went by himself after work at 7 in the morning and got in line. He said people had thier kids standing in line, one family had about 6 kids! They do this because there is a limit of 1 per person. So John wasn't able to get one, which is a good thing because I'm sure he would have played it instead of sell it. | |

| People have lost their minds. I was watching this on the news too. One kid bought it from someone coming out of the store for $2,000 and his starting price is $16,000 on ebay. I went to ebay to see how they were selling. The most expensive one listed says they will give 75% of the proceeds to the Red Cross. It starts at $45,000 but you can Buy it Now for $500,000. Yes, half a million dollars and it is yours right now!!! Shipping is free.
