Incongruent? Well it certainly wouldn't be ineffective. I am in no way trying to mix economics with the satisfaction of sticking it to the man with a brick. They are two independent events.
RYCeT makes a good point. If you need instant gratification maybe you should have started saving up, or planned to line up. How can anyone feel sympathy for a gamer who didn't get his hands on a ps3 on the release date, when there are people in countries that line up the same way to get bread? And to the people who are telling this kid who got screwed to get a life? How about telling these "real" gamers that just can't wait a few more weeks to play a ps3 to get a life?
