People need to get a grip. It's a fr@#$%ing gaming system And we wonder why so many other countries think Americans priorities are out of wack.

I don't think they were trying to steal the system, I think they were trying to steal money from the people who were waiting on line to buy the system.
Crazy!!!

yea, well, I would normally agree but something that costs $600 is insanity! not everyone can afford to buy it for their kids, even if they were available.
Sony is a disgrace! This seriously makes me never want to buy anything from them again.

Sony has raised the bar in the world of gaming.

Will I buy one for DH when they are readily available - damn straight.
