Too bad for this guy, that I heard that PS3 auction scalping in Japan wasn't as high as expected... and we are already seeing some game SW being sold in 4000 yen price range... Hope he loses the money that he paid towards those poor chinese guys who stood in line for them.

100 units x at least $200 in profits = $20,000 with no real effort.

I hate my life.

No real effort? I would think it would take quite a bit of effort to get a 100 PS3s at launch.

Why are any of you praising this guy? I mean, seriously.
Because I'd do it too. I have no moral quandaries about a few techies or hardcore gamers not getting their hands on the latest toy before Christmas. If Sony wanted to do something about this, they wouldn't have created a console that relied on a new storage medium and a kra-z processor.

Either that guy's gonna get a huge helping of Karma-kickass, or he's going be living the glamorous life ;d

So... Xbox 360?

Does he explain how he did it? Hiring people to stand in lines? He can't be in 100 places at once, and if they all sold ASAP he'd have to have tons of preorders or tons of people involved.

I should have specified that no one with a Patrick Nagel avatar is allowed to answer the question.
