PS3 scalpers nickled and dimed by “vindictive prick gamers”
Udolpho’s take on the PS3 hype and subsequent bust.
…I read that scalpers bought up boxes and boxes of PS3 consoles on launch day in order to unload them at huge mark-ups. Perhaps even a majority of shipping consoles were bought for this purpose – at the very least a large enough number to affect supply throughout the country (Sony was only able to get 200,000 manufactured for the United States to begin with).
An interesting object lesson awaited them.
