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

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.Originally Posted by seat

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.
