Wanna hear something scary!! I had a thought/dream about this last night after reading that the PS3's are $500. Either people have their CC's or cash with them. Easy target, easy money, esp for someone with a gun! Whoa!! I need to stop thinking these things!!

This is why I think it's stupid to allow people to loiter outside stores like that. At least when I went to pick up the new Harry Potter books, there were events INSIDE THE STORE and plus I knew I was walking out with the book because I had pre-ordered it.
There was also a riot outside a store in CA over the PS3s. Reminds me of the stories of the people who fought in the stores over Cabbage Patch Kids.
Stores really need to think about the dangers of things like this. It can turn violent.

I remember Cabbage Patch Kids. Remember Elmo from a few years ago. It's frightening! It's just a game, it's going to be around for a while. Get your kicks on your PS2 until the after Christmas sales. They're not gonna die cuz they can't play until January. Geesh!

(I also realize the concept of peer pressure, but then there are those who are the "marketeers" *gag*)
