What does the new upcoming release of PlayStation 3 (PS3) and the homeless have in common? What else $$$$$$money. Homeless people in North Carolina are being hired at $100 per day to stand in line for a new PS3.

This is absolutely brilliant or incredibly stupid. I'm not sure which one yet.

Scott...
Thanks for stopping by my blog.
I'm so ticked about this PS3 thing.
Earlier today I checked eBay to see how many were being sold online AND what the highest price was ...
Highest Price: $30,000
How Many: 7,013 (as of 1 pm)
eBay had 241 pages of PS3's for sale.
I think this is such a travesty.
Now, I'll go back and read your blog.
I'm sure the profits from these money hungry profiteers will not see the likes of helping out a homeless organization.
Yikes, 30K for a stupid game.
