PS3s.

[mattcanning]

I have three PS3s available for sale for $750 each. Well, $750 for any of my friends or people who I respect anyway. Of course, I can get anything. Need a rare movie produced in the 1930s that isn't available for purchase anywhere that you can see? Give me 24 hours

Are you talking about John Benson?

[halved_smile]

Yeah, are you?

matt, dude, thats kinda harsh of you.
sure, he could have made a huge profit, but thats not part of his priorities. maybe it should be? maybe not.
what is more important? his happiness, or his finacal situation?
i guess it's a matter of opinion.

but i'm willing to say that his personal happiness much more important.

[zermatt]

Yes and no

I think i know John Benson better than most.
I'm quite certain that one day he'll come to regret some of his decisions of his youth.
But doesn't everyone?
I just don't quite get it.
John isn't in debt anymore. I know; he's paid rent and for other things around the house without even asking.
And really, how much is his financial situation anyones buisness except his own?

Everyone makes mistakes. I don't think that John will reach the point of being fourty and hate his life. I think that there is a change coming in John. He quite the different person that i had first met.

I think that he'll sort through his shit, and commenting on it doesn't really seem justified. Does anyone really need to personally begrudge someone else?

Matt, i know that you and John have had a falling out, but i'm sure that one day you'll be friends again.

"Everyone makes mistakes. I don't think that John will reach the point of being fourty and hate his life. I think that there is a change coming in John."

I agree. And even though he hates me so much right now, I hope that change comes and I wish him the best with this.

I agree that Matt's post is exceptionally harsh, but I can understand his frustration, and he should be frustrated, because John has been abusive of him, and that's disgusting (even though everyone makes mistakes). It's the ones closest to you that hurt you most, and Johns abusive and self-destructive behaviour is something that Matt shouldn't have had to take. You can't blame him for venting, if anything, he should have thrown John on the street long ago together with all the LIVE bullshit and told John where to go... but Matt is far too kind a man for that...... and people like John will always judge a man by his words and not by his deeds.... and it's just not worth it wasting your time on that bullshit.

From what I've seen, all the people who camped out to buy PS3s did it to sell them, and all the people who camped out to buy Wiis did it to play them. Interesting, that.
