By artificially decreasing supply, they are increasing demand. Increasing it so much that people are willing to pay lots more money for them.

So, it's not the person waiting in line buying 10 of them's "fault".
It's not the buyers "fault".
If anyone, blame the mfgr for creating the demand in the first place by having such low stock of them.

yeah but i still think you'd be stupid if you pay 1500 + for a gaming console when you could wait say 2-3 months for the next supply ( they anticipate feb 07 )

Moronic tools. The launch edition is going to be plagued with problems much like the first release of the XBox 360.
