Playstation...feh
I remember when people were maiming each other over Cabbage Patch Kids.
Some on my airline crew were bringing 5 or 6 at a time back from London and selling them for 3-4 times the price over here.

Popular delusions and the madness of crowds.

1. Give me a Nintendo any day of the week.
Ah, how I miss the pixelated graphics and far more interesting gameplay.

2. I've never gotten this craziness
over ANY item. Just wait and you can get it easily without all the crowds and hassle.

3. My sweetheart paid for an entire X-mas by selling the CPK she bought...
as a gift. Just before the craze hit.

It was amazing.
