11.16.2006 DENTIST HIRES 60 PEOPLE TO GET HIM PS3S

I asked for good Sony news, but of course I'm only getting more depressing PS3 launch day news.

Murray Newlin, a dentist in Columbus, Georgia, wants to buy 15 PS3s this holiday season for his grandchildren, nieces, and nephews. A feat not even Santa Claus himself could accomplish. So he set out to do the impossible by paying 60 different workers to take eight hour shifts waiting in line in at four different Wal-mart stores in the Columbus area. "This is the only way I can get what I want," said Murray Newlin. The epic quest caught a lot of attention in Columbus as people took off work to help him get his goods, and seven year olds cried foul, knowing that only ment they'd be the poor nieces and nephews without a PS3. However, sadly, there is no happy ending to this story -- Murray has recently given up his epic goal. [Thanks Jason!]

I'm starting to think the ps3 is a publicity stunt. BTW did anyone else buy shares of nintendo stock at the beginning of this year? I'm looking at a 48.20% profit as of today. If things continue to go like this for NES I would bet I see a 100% return by the end of q2 2007. The wii is just making everyone a nes fanboi.
