I either don't believe the second one. But I do believe the 1st one, and the 3rd one.

its a game system . . . its even up for debate as to which is better, the XBOX 360 which you can get easily, or the PS3.

heres my idea:
wait three months, buy one from your choice of local retailer, and donate the price difference to me.

I heard on the radio this morning that a guy that had been standing in line for one sold his spot for $3,000.

That is totally insane and I would never pay that kind of money for a game. Even $400 for a game is too pricey for me to justify it.
