Actually there is a logical reason for it - people are getting really pissed off that they can't buy a PS3 for a reasonable price. They go on ebay and see someone trying to take advantage of the supply/demand, so they sabotage the auction and force the seller to relist or sell somewhere else. Petty, but is it completely unwarranted?
Okay, 1% sounds fishy at first, but if you take a look at history, you find that pictures of women's belly buttons, armpits, shoulders, etc. were considered Porn. Now we are far more selective. Furthermore, according to Moore's Law's Inernet Porn Corollary you will see that technology has increased the rate at which porn becomes both more efficient and more easily attainable. Where you once had to pay your older sister $15 to buy you a copy of Penthouse, now you download whatever messed up $&!# videos your perverted heart desires in high res! So 40 years ago we had computers occupying 70% of a research lab, now it's more like 1%. Obviously that's like comparing apples to apples, so it's no surprise the exact same thing happened to internet porn.
I think the only reason most people don't have one is because they're only on sale April 1st of each year. Now isn't that odd? Hmm, maybe I should submit that to/.

...I thought the story was about a Star Wars fan who finally got laid. Now THAT would be news.

Totally lame, the Paleozoic Era was a geological snooze-fest. Call me when they get some decent Big Bang maps up.
(Although they are lining up for DS Lites!)
>>Its a big purchase, yes. But its not a rip-off.
I would agree except: "Ordering this bundle does not guarantee shipment at launch. First come, first serve basis." - Gamestop
So yes, it is a rip off. You can order a wii console for $250 that does not ship at launch; I'll sell you one myself.
