If these people were waiting for 48 straight hours, they spent 500 on the system and sold it for 1500 ($1000) profit, that works out to $20 / hour. With the way it was raining in bretwood and homestead this morning / overnight, it hardly seems worth it. That being said, I’m going to stop by a local store on my way to work tomorrow, just in case ; ) ---

They will, The prices already dropped on the systems on ebay. Aside from the asshole ones. Your best chances were pre-ordering and selling the pre-order. Still more expensive then what I want to do. There’s going to be 360 core systems for sale on black friday. I am not mentioning where bc I am an asshole. Not hard to figure out what retailer is going to be doing it. Last I heard, only 1 out of all of the launch titles were even any good LOL. ---
