| The people who line up... well they have a lot of time. But somebody who is willing to line up and then smash a $599 USD piece of equipment.. wearing that kind of clothing... I'd say has a slight problem.. |

PlayStation 3 line shootings round-up
PUTNAM, Conn. (AP) _ Two armed thugs tried to rob of line of people waiting to buy the new Playstation 3 gaming console early Friday and shot one who refused to give up the money, authorities said. No word on the victim's condition.
In Palmdale, Calif., authorities shut down a Super Wal-Mart after some shoppers got rowdy late Wednesday.
In West Bend, Wis., a 19-year-old man was injured when he ran into a pole racing with 50 others for one of 10 spots outside a Wal-Mart.
In Lexington, Ky., police were investigating a drive-by shooting that hit four people with BB pellets outside a Best Buy store, causing minor injuries, according to WKYT, whose own reporter was hit as she interviewed buyers in line.

In theory it wasn't for the Technology...it was the potential return of investment on the technology...
but I still have to agree with you..WTF is wrong w/ some people? There were several others stories too on how some people got mugged, people paid off homeless people to wait in line...and lots more drama... |

Deliberate PS3 Destruction Stuns Gamers
Friday November 17, 2006
We're not sure what sort of psychological motives cause Ben Lovatt to be the self-admitted 'attention-seeker' he is, but one things is certain, he turned more than a few heads, and likely inspired a few queasy cases of nausea among die-hard gamers when he and a passionate cohort took a sledgehammer to a brand new Playstation 3.
While demand for the new game console has inspired violent stampedes, and even a shooting in the U.S., Lovatt thought nothing of smashing one to pieces on Friday. Not even news of skyrocketing bidding wars on sites like Ebay, where consoles were being sold for prices as ridiculous as $50,000, could alter Lovatt's course of action.
And it's not the first time he's set out to destroy a much sought after gadget. He did the same thing to the wildly popular ipod, and the Xbox.
With each new venture of annihilation, he sets up a website.
He chronicles his wasteful misadventures on www.smashourstuff.com, where he also collects donations for future projects.
"Yes, we are getting quite a few (complaints)," he admits, citing several cases of hate mail.
"But we get good response from other people."
One may assume there's a deep philosophical message about the perils of runaway consumerism behind his project, but he doesn't admit to having a specific agenda.
"We don't really say why we do it. We leave it up to interpretation by the consumer."
