I am more concerned about this Ebay selling thing. The PS3 is going to have a terrible attach rate in the US also. At my local Wal Mart there are 8 to 10 people camping out which is about 4 more than there were for the 360. The catch is this , my wife and I spoke to them and most of them want to sell it on Ebay and that's it, there were only 3 guys in thier late teens that wanted it to play games on and keep. I rembember with the 360 6 or 7 people wanted it for keeps and 1 guy was buying it to sell it on Ebay... this was outside a Gamestop though.

Why are you concerned about people selling them on Ebay? If you are not in line right now or haven't pre-ordered, you aren't getting one anway. Or are you saying you are concerned because you have a personal stake in the company?

I am just concerned that you are concerned...

So I guess employers take advantage of their employees’ situation for needing money. Yes, you can look at some aspects of it being ethically wrong. However think about it what would they be doing if they weren’t there? Sitting on a corner somewhere else for free wasting time begging for money(No not all beg for money is true and that’s a bit of a Stereotype but the point they more than likely wouldn’t be doing anything else productive, and it is a job that doesn’t hurt, kill or abuse anyone. )… I think it’s a win, win situation for both of them; the homeless wanting money and the guy want a PS3. The only ethical thing I would say would be is it’s unfair that he’s able to get multiple PS3, because each person he paid to be in line is entitled to a PS3.

7 - I agree with thug,

that is one smart guy. Buying something to earn money off it, without having to spend a single day camping out. That's pretty clever.
