Storage? I am Storage!
First there was the hype, and then I saw idiots camping out Tuesday night waiting for the stores to open. Finally, everything else paled by comparison when I checked eBay. $12,100 for a game console!? 
And I saw quite a few other auctions which closed in excess of $5,000. If this doesn't say something about our warped values nothing does. If someone has this much money to burn to pay a few dozen times retail on a totally unnecessary item they should write a check to a charity instead. It's not like this is the last Xbox which will ever be made. Once the hype dies down you probably won't be able to give these things away. Kind of reminds me of some idiot who had a garage full of Furbys a few years ago thinking he would make a killing. He ended up instead with over $10,000 of worthless clutter once the hype died. It made my day.
