Don't sell Europe's launch stock!!!!!!!!!! Oh teh noes!!!

Juice · (11-13-2006, 11:42 PM)

Holy capital, batman.

Akumulator · (11-13-2006, 11:44 PM)

The market's going to be overly saturated with resold PS3s. I hope he gets stuck with all of them.

Manp · (11-13-2006, 11:44 PM)

where's Sony's great effort to prevent this kind of shit?

Saddam Hussein is going to buy them to help engineer his escape!

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.

That ****ing bitch.

seanoff · (11-13-2006, 11:46 PM)

because Sony trying to anything about it would most likely be ILLEGAL!!

newsguy · (11-13-2006, 11:47 PM)

I heard it was someone from AVS who's burning them to end the format war.

TheIkariWarrior · (11-13-2006, 11:48 PM)

those PS3's with all of their flops will be routed to Iran to speed their development of the Islamic Bomb. oh noes!

I think you're overestimating Europe's launch stock...

Funky Papa · (11-13-2006, 11:49 PM)

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

I hate my life.

LM4sure · (11-13-2006, 11:50 PM)

This guy is awesome! And must have some serious cash to buy that many PS3's. I said wow.

Hooterville · (11-13-2006, 11:50 PM)

Nice eBay stash.

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

Tarazet · (11-13-2006, 11:51 PM)

Probably all stolen, so more like $80,000 in profit.

They're too busy shutting down legit businesses.

People are buying PS3s to sell to american importers for big cash. Makes sense.

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.

Kafel · (11-14-2006, 12:01 AM)

So, knowing the size of the retail box can be useful to full the car.

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

What kind of investment would even match the returns on 100 PS3s?

So... Xbox 360?

Fifty · (11-14-2006, 12:06 AM)

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.

neojubei · (11-14-2006, 12:07 AM)

does someone have the pic of the guy with 50-100 xbox 360s?

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