Now that I think about it, he really should have waited till the store ran out of units and THEN done that in front of the people left over who knew they weren't going to get one. Customers assaulting customers is the dream of all salespeople.

I agree. Actually, it seems that the PS3 haters and those who donated to the guy who destroyed the PS3, are just other fanboys who hate PS3.
If you ever went to gamespot forums(or some other console forum), nintendo fanboys are hating the PS3 because the PS3 controller, with it's movement sensors, was 'copied' from nintendo. This is just one example.
And again, it would have been funny if he threw the ps3 into a crowd of people waiting in line to see them fight for it, what a waste.

If by "Bald Marines with Guns" you mean Resistance: Fall of Man, then yes. I got the Bald Marines with Guns game. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile-fix.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile-fix.gif" />

Oops. Well, uh... Ridge Racer seems to be getting good reviews.

They did announce that it would have it after the Wii was revealed, and removed a feature that was (afaik) assumed to be in because they couldn't find a way to incorperate force-feed back with the cheap motion sensor they used.
Still, Nintendo's deserved it for the past two generations... the N64 was a bad decision and ###### off all their good third parties... (Square's only just now working with them again... And I doubt we'll see a numbered FF on a N system for a long time to come...)
Not to mention that it also launched Sony's home console line in and of itself. (For those that don't know their history... the PS1 was originally supposed to be a Nintendo... Nintendo balked becuase they've always been overcautious about new technology, and though CDs were too big a risk at the time, and Sony decided to launch the console themselves. Square had been, at the time, making FF7 at a size doable on CDs, and were quite peeved about being told that Nintendo was going with carts again.)
Still, it's pointless to hate on any console... Annoyingly, they'll all almost assuradely come up with a game you want to play that's exclusive... (For the next/current gen, I'm wanting at least three titles from all three... quite the predicament...)
That video is pretty ######ish to be honest, but funny at the same time that someone has so much money to waste on being a complete ######. It's not like most people buying a PS3 have been doing so to actually play the console, but instead scalp the thing off to desperate people on ebay or whatever. I can only be pleased with the fact I have zero interest in buying a console until it gets some decent games on it.
All of the PS3 launch title games have been really horrible actually, there isn't a single one there I have even a vague interest in. Combine this with the hideous $1200 NZ price tag and if you get one this side of 2008 down here you would have to be mad.
It's definitely going to be worth picking up after a year or so into its life cycle, assuming that Sony get good exclusives and such again. For now, I'll stick with my Xbox360, which I've actually found is a pretty decent console overall though it does need more good exclusives.
