Wow,

I was once a huge gamer, I spent countless hours mastering Hot Shots Golf, Tombraider and Oddworld. To sit outside for hours on end to simply sell the system for profit... Oh wait, student loans, credit card, car loan...

I have to admit, I admire their entrepreneurial spirit. Why not capatilize on the latest buzz. 75% profit is a pretty good short term investment.

"...and he's not even selling it..." Classic!

  Ebay has 754 PS3 auctions up right now. I quickly checked the 24 auctions which are ending shortly and it appeared they all had buyers ranging from $700-1500.

It's like a modern day gold rush.

Well, I guess there are worse things to do with your time... that said, there are better things too!

I saw some Wii fans waiting outside Wal-Mart last Saturday night.  There were four of them.  I yelled, "Buy a 360!"  I received the middle finger.

Sony may be hurting more than we think.  

With the hysteria over the Wii mounting, I decided I’d try to get my hands on one.  That meant braving the bitter cold (just a frozen nose over zero Fahrenheit) out front of Best Buy.  However, I underestimated the Nintendo Nation’s hardcore fans, and

After reports surfaced that Best Buy was purposely withholding the Wii to ramp up sales, sources reveal that both the Wii and PlayStation 3 will be on sale early Friday morning, December 15.

In the great United States of America, apparently residents are favoring home cookin’.  

A significant number of complaints surround the update’s affect on Blu-ray playback, reportedly causing high definition movies to freeze.  

In November we reported on the crazy number of speculators on PS3 release night. Now that we have...

It seems that ever since the clock struck midnight on the morning of January 1, 2007, the momentum...
