I think it goes down to $200 at some point. Blu-Ray will drop quickly and hard in cost/value. I doubt it will be more expensive to make five years from now than the Xbox is today, and the Xbox is under $200.

As far as timing, it's hard to say. Maybe $100 price cut around E3 2008?

Four people were hit by the BB pellets, including 27 NEWSFIRST reporter Elizabeth Dorsett. She was interviewing someone in line at the time.

Ouch. IF they think they're doing any justice what a bunch of fucking retards.

Also: I'm gonna follow the 2Chan example.

Also: IF there's more than 30 people, you simply turn around and go home.

I like how they're modelled after the MTV Gears of War winners.

PUTNAM, Conn. (Nov. 17) - 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.

The two confronted a "bunch of people who were in line" outside a Wal-Mart store shortly after 3 a.m. and demanded money, said Lt. J. Paul Vance, a spokesman for the state police. The new Sony consoles are selling for around $500 to $600.

"One of the patron's resisted. That patron was shot," Vance said.

A Best Buy in Boston, aware it had only 140 of the consoles, got smart - employees gave out tickets to the first 140 people in line so everyone could go home.

WTF? How can this be? There's probably less than 140 PS3s in all of the Tri-State area. lol.
