Some Play to Die.
I heard a rumor the other day about a group of people standing in line for PS3s. Supposedly there were only 10 left and one guy bought them all and got shot for it. Anybody else hear about this? If this is true, thats definitely fucking ridiculous.

I heard a better story: A Wal-Mart in Wisconson was only getting 10 PS3 units in, and there was a massive crowd of anticipated fools outside the store, not forming any line to speak of. So the manager got a beautifully boneheaded idea: go out with a bullhorn and explain the situation, then sit 10 chairs in front of the store and announce that whoever takes these seats first will be first in line to buy the systems.
Several people were trampled and one guy was sent to the emergency room when he crashed headfirst into a pole.

Re: Some Play to Die.
No store would allow one person to buy all of their stock.

This happened near where I live.
Some guy was waiting 48 hours in line for a PS3 [three actually] for Wal-Mart.
Two punk kids showed up wanting money from all of them. [The people in line, I mean.]
When they got to him, the guy said no.
They shot him and high tailed it out of there.
Funny part: When the employees of Wal-Mart came rushing out, he handed them his money and told them to buy his ps3's.
In an interview, he said it didn't affect him psychologically at all, and will be out there buying consoles again.
Karma part: He's some loser with no job that lives with his parents, so he had to sell the ps3's on eBay in order to get some cash flowing. Serves him right. <_<

According to Games Are Fun, eBay's figures say the average PS3 sale has been more than twice the normal price -- $1186 between the 20GB and 60GB systems -- while the Wii has been selling for more than 1.5 times its normal price.
