And that “work” was sitting around on a sidewalk. $2400/48hours = $50/hr. That’s a decent hourly rate for sitting on your ass, and I’m guessing it’s WAY more than most of those people camping out make at their real jobs (if they even have one). > > I’d be really interested to know how many of these campers actually plan on keeping the thing.

Actually, the people who camp out are pretty smart. Especially if they are allowed to buy more than 1. So you wait around and do nothing for 2 days, buy 3 of them and them sell on ebay for 300-400% more than you paid. Not a dumb way to make a few grand. ---

> [@Itagaki](#): > > I’ll be kind and say anything over 12 hours is stupid. The world will NOT end if you do not get a PS3 on launch day. Better yet, wait until there is a good number of titles out for it, that will make it all the more worth purchasing. +1 Back in 99’ - 00’ I had a PS2 shipped from Japan on their release date and got two games with it. I should have waited until there were more titiles for it. It was fun for a while. But play the Dreamcast more because there were more games for it. KK ---

you guys realise that many of the auctions are artificially inflated to make the price higher and make the system that much more desireable. its an awesome marketing tactic… then try to get someone to actually pay that much for the system this is ghey…however how much are people willing to pay for them around here? lets say i had one with 9 games, 60gb version… lets say i had a few of them ---
