They are going for over a grand on eBay with one system at $2,500!! 
People are crazy. Whats the hurry? The next system won't be out for another 4 years at least!
The people that got em can cash in. |

Seeing as the main model goes for about $400 I think it's ridiculous that people are paying that much for the console. Have some patience, wait a month and ge it at $400!
I imagine the push is that people want to have them in time for the holidays. Store probably won't be able to get enough stock in. |

Yeah...I think after this initial push they won't have any till after the holidays.
Friend of mine took yesterday and today off to wait in line and then play it 48 hours straight.
Weird part is.... He's 43! |

I would like one but $400 is too much for a thing I will play like once a week. I have a friend actually buying a new HDTV LCD then after that he is going to buy a 360..
I myself would like a nice projector.. |

| I'd rather wait for the PS3. Supposedly it will outperform the new x-box. |

Some guys I know waited in line for 3 hours this morning, got one each and sold them on eBay today. They netted $300+ each.
And like a sucker, I'm investing my money in the stock market. 
Heh heh. |

| why would people pay soo much (2500) for a system that costs 400 dollars. I guess to some people money isnt an object. |
