5. Another ?. Signature confirmation with insurance.

I guess the favor is on the seller's side... okay, so i guess campers for eBay profitting are justified then. Well, i'm not gonna say anything supportive to those people, but it's their right.

so, how would you like to be on the buyers side if you just bought a PS3 on ebay for 2500.00 and the seller shipped you a weighted box with delivery confirmation and then when you contact Paypal about it they tell you "tough, atleast you got a package"?
this whole PS3 ebay thing could turn into a major nightmare for a buyer with the way Paypal treats these situations.

But, I wouldn't need my wife or a friend to be with me as I'm not a social introvert, I'd get along just fine with all the other people in line. Like Douglas Adams said, if there's one thing the British excel at, it is queuing; American nerds are no different.
Waiting in line for a potential profit would be a far better use of my vacation time than sitting at home, twiddlin' my bits. At least I'd have something to show for it afterwards.
That's all a moot point in my specific case as I'm not going to do it, but there are plenty of people like me that will be doing this.

Okay, i get your idea of vacation, i respect that...
Like my posts said, camping out for something you love, priceless. If you love money, then this is an opportunity, but that doesn't make the experience priceless. Now, it's your right to camp out for profit, nobody can deny that. However, most people would agree that camping out for profit are qualified as scalpers. I know i know, it's not an easy thing to camp out, you earn the profit by getting on line early...

a cancellation + a delay
Don't know if this was posted yet.
EA's NBA Live '07 has been dropped for the PS3 and Sonic has been delayed until next year(Holiday '06). Isn't the NBA Live demo on the kiosks? That is fucked up if true.
Both articles are from Kotaku.com

NBA Live '07 -
PS3 owners will have to wait until next year for some official NBA ball bouncing action. Electronic Arts' NBA Live 07, announced back at E3 in May, has been scrapped outright. EA's PR person David Tinson points out:
"We are concentrating our efforts on creating a spectacular NBA Street: Homecourt [instead of porting NBA Live 07]. [Homecourt] is coming to the PS3 and Xbox 360 early next year. "
Other than being used as an E3 example of what the system's hardware could do, game play details were never disclosed about what exactly was PS3-rrific about NBA Live 07. The first half of next year, NBA Street: Homecourt will hit the Xbox 360 and *hopefully* the PS3. Brian Ashcraft

Those of you looking forward to spending more time with Shadow the Hedgehog, this time on your PlayStation 3, are going to have to wait a little bit longer. Another PS3 title is going to miss the launch, and this time it's Sega's own flagship mascot, Sonic.
Why the delay, this close to launch? It seems Sega wants to spend more time working on downloadable content, but didn't specify exactly what that downloadable content was. I can only assume they're working on new ways to ruin my positive childhood memories of the Sega Genesis or they've finally inked a deal to get some 50 Cent tracks for Shadow's in-car stereo.
The game is specified now as "holiday 2006". Hopefully, they'll update it to "never". Sorry, I'm surly tonight. Still bitter about that whole Shadow thing.
