Thanks for the summary E.
Sounds like a somewhat decent idea.
But I personally don't care how many systems people buy. If a guy wants to buy 10 systems and sell 'em on E-Bay...that's his business. If people are dumb enough to pay almost double the price on E-Bay....they don't deserve to have money. That's just dumb. I mean supply and demand an all......but it still is dumb.
In fact--most retail stores actually set limits on to how many systems you can buy. In North Carolina, the state limit when the X-Box came out was 3 systems per customer, per day, per store. I mean that doesn't stop Joe Blo from going down the street to Circuit City and buying more, but it helped regulate store quanities to help more customers have access to new products while in-stock.
I know there's parents out there who wannaget the "hot toy" for their kids for Christmas....but seriously....
Yeah....I'm getting it basically because I'll have the money and I really only want 1 game right now----Assassin's Creed. I know there'll be more games in the future I'll want---but for now Assassin's Creed is enough for me.
So what's the difference in me having the $600 to buy the system and someone else having $800 available to get it off E-Bay???? Simple---I'm not hard press to get it like that. It's just a game system. When it's in and available. I'll get it. Until then I'll bide my time.......
