Isn't it a little bit horrific that this guy managed to get a hold of FOUR pre-orders in the first place? The whole pre-order system seems corrupt enough to encourage this kind of behaviour.

What's all the fuss about? Just buy a Wii, an XBox 360 or a PS2 instead - or all three, for that price!
In fact,you could probably get an HDTV to go with it too, or a new sofa!

Not really that hard though is it? Just go to four different shops.
Unless Sony setup a unified pre-order system then you are never going to stop this.

$10,000 /= (does not equal) not standing outside for a few hours on preorder day!
I would love to condemn said people, but I myself as well as you all have (most likely) certainly milked the system or whatever slang you want to use. Taken advantage of special sales, haggled with salesmen for better deals on products, made money off the less saavy. I've been guilty of it. I don't think it's fair to get mad at a schemer making money just because it intrudes on our favorite hobby. Scheming is what the country was based upon.
Okay somebody please kick the soapbox from which I stand.
