They've already sold 400,000 for $600 each. In a matter of minutes after midnight.

Products should sell for a fair price. Period. Somewhere along the line we forgot that.
What is a fair price? Who determines what is fair? When there is a limited supply and an extreme demand who determines who gets what?

I would also add, that if I were CEO of Sony, my most loyal customers would be the ones with the most money. period. Who gives a shit about a customer without a dime? Doesn't make for a good customer, now, does it?
