[RSCADDiiCTiON]

[Leflore2]

[livethemoment111]

hey i live in NC

[janeka19]

yeah omg !~! realy

[sultanoxforduk]

He hired homeless people 2 wait in line for him LOL good fucking idea

[BlackMask2012]

And that is why we are in a recession, people waiting in line to buy a PS3 LOL, I'll just wait for it ain't got time to waste waiting just to make a little change.

[MinSinTube1]

Dude I don't think 1000 bucks is "Little Change"

[BlackMask2012]

wow I can't believe people are that stupid to buy a PS3 for one grand. That's why I don't feel sorry for stupid people.

[DR000]

@BlackMask2012

How does that make you stupid? If you are rich, a grand isn't anything. It's like a guy in Africa getting upset that I spend money every month for the internet. 

[FightinSwedeFR]

Yes, the recession that started around 2008 is the result of people buying things in 2006.

That was sarcasm.

[saumyadx]

Is It For Free?

[mulukchuwen]

WTF do 'homeless' need playstations for? this shit is outrageous!

[lololzak]

they dont,

the person who wants the ps3,

DOESNT want to wait outside.

so they hired a homeless guy to stand there...FOR THEM

[mulukchuwen]

my comment was a bit premature. i just read the tag and watched maybe half of it before i blurted.

[lololzak]

lol,

i always do that.

[jaguarcichlid08]

fucking idiot

[xXdeadlyjuggaloXx]

this is a perfect example of how dumb people some people are today, waiting in line for as sucky ass, that cost more then 200 fucking dollars when u can just wait like 6 or 7 months when they fucking have it in stock and its like $200 dollars, u dumd fucking retarts

[SuperBolts]

WHAT A FUCKING LOSERS MAN I CAN BELIEVE THIS SHIT THAT'S WHY NOW DAYS PEOPLE IS GETTING RETARD AND SHIT CAUSE THIS FUCKING TECHNOLOGY AND THEN YOU SEE THIS FUCKERS WORKING THE REST OF HIS STUPID FUCKING LIFE IN A BURGER KING OR MacDondals GET A FUCKING LIFE YOU LOSERS.

[alperen65]

[caseyclawson91]

[hubbajuba]

[tatt0013]

omg what loooooosers, and it would be them american tossers lmao!

[aaroncjones]

zomg lol ur gramar sux

[famousin8]

being homeless is just a label i favor.i learned from buddha-ghandi-christ.tomorrow i will be homeless.and i will have fun

[scouse21]

How can a hobo play a PS3 if he's homeless, where will he play it?

[donke123]

he dosent play it dumbass he just bought it for the guy

[scouse21]

Actually you spell it with a hyphen.......as in dumb-ass, idiot or should that be like your sign -in name........DONKEY!!!. And for your information, I was being sarcastic!!

[donke123]

you really are stupid since you even got my nick wrong retard it says DONKE not DONKEY dumb fuck.....

[scouse21]

Me an idiot? If you look at your nick it's spelt DONKE, but can be pronounced DONKEY!! (a play on words, you moron.) I take it your sense of humour is like you brain...........DEAD!

[donke123]

haha its meant to be spelled that way dumbass if it wasnt i wouldint have it that way dont u think? ...

[scouse21]

I KNOW YOU SPELL IT THAT WAY..................JEEZ, YOU'RE HARD WORK. Go crawl under your rock!!!

[donke123]

[scouse21]

Go back to school and learn to spell, you cretin!!!

[donke123]

haha you sound so stupid trying to act all smart with all your fancy words haha dumbass

[scouse21]

Your vocabulary leads a lot to be desired...........the only word you seem to know very well is dumbass (which is spelt dumb-ass!!) I take it you're either an orphan, tramp or both!

[BetoPerez209]

vagina

[LILJOKER33000]

HAHA THAT WAS FUNNY YOu won the fight now both of yall shut the fuck up (just kidding keep on fighting this is funny!!)

[CDBigShow]

PS3 sucks.

[FuckingPigz]

hey hey $100 a day to the homeless and to a lot of people with homes is good money.

Good idea; Help someone while they help you.

You guys putting the man down have obviously learned nothing about the street.

[CanadianVandal]

I had the same idea but wouldn't go beyond the thought because I have more respect for all humans homeless or not

[pojomon]

nothing wring with what they did, most people won't even give them money because they can go out and get a job, now that they getting paid to do something it's sick

[AvengedAmaranth]

thats fucking REDICULOUS

[india1nick04]

How did this sick shit make the news!!!

[johnfinbarburke]

sick basterd

[dablizardlizard]

i hid a homeless person in my ass and had him wake me up when the store opened. ironically, he had already bought one, and the store was in his asshole. so i got lost n shit, but i think i got one.

[Hamlet137475]

sick way to use homeless ppl. but he's muslim so it's xpected i guess

[marcabear]

sick

[agentxero24]

hahahah way to go homeless people!!!

[Directed01]

ROFL, only has eight units for sale! LOL!

[john125john]

Dude that is the funniest thing i ever heard!

[moonwalk123]

hahahah :D

[apathy87]

Homless? people without homs? well thats everybody!

[retrovibes1970]

This kid's a genius

[twilightsparks]

I agree that freakin genius, I would of done the same thing if I had that kinda of money.

[kmisuzu]

my friend and I were the ones camped out in that red tent

(yes i can prove it, feel free to ask)

it was true they only had 8 (on wednesday), thurs they got 2 more in, so they had 10 on opening friday

slim numbers, as expected

and, yes. none of the homeless were there on friday, they all got bought off.

middle eastern guy who hired them showed up in his shiny bmw and was rather pissed. lol

[kmisuzu]

also we watched ourselves on the news that night using my laptops tv capture card, and a tv antenna we bought from the store and returned the next day.

also watched the weather and decided to get some rocks to hold our tent down, the next morning was a fun one. i'll leave it at that.

[jchie]

man the tent look soo good hahah... i lined up with my blanket freezing my ass up. same thing happend to our line, guy hired a bum 12 hours before the the stores open, bum sells the spot. but the guy who bought the spot for 400 and waited atleast 12 hours smoked weed and over slept. =(

[jadakirk]

I <3 bums

[SilentAssasin00]

Wii ownz hah

[g0ldsc0rpi0n]

i guess slaves are back in faction in the US.

[koendeboer]

LOOOOOL 8 units!

[BlueDevilAc]

If she was right about the 8 units part... then that guy got ROYALLY SCREWED.

[akui88]

lol did shw say that store only has 8 units?

[tornasu]

lol morons! PS3 sucks

[televisble]

nothing wrong with hire someone to queue for you. Win win situation Homeless get a job offer and he get his Ps3. No one is forced to do anything.

[kmisuzu]

sucks if one of the homeless guys decides to mess with one of the gamers who is waiting for themselves, although said gamer was had a bat and a knife. I can't say the same about homeless, although it turned out that they didn't bother us. I still think it would of been more fun if other gamers were in line with us.

[MrValentine]

That guy did NOT come up with the idea first. It happened in Japan first. Must've got the idea from Kotaku.

[pacebcbud]

yah cause everyone pays close attention to japanese news about ps3 sales

your a nerd

[xashinx]

Dude, if I wast he homeless I'd steal the PS3...

[Som3Guy]

hahahaha i was thinking the same thing

[mckanzii]

those mid easterner's think their so smart.

[Mika20]

... I don't know what to say of that.

Really,...cause this even sounds immoral. How can these guys be so ..selfish?

Sure they're paying the men which is generous...but this is just..*sighs*

[poomsie2002]

that's disgusting. people have no morals.

[Tikiplayr15]

haha people in my town are pretty insane

[gadget666]

I would piss myself laughing if nobody bought his ps3s,

they all waited a month until there were enough to go around

[nikon519]

this guy is a buisness man, good for him :)

[lin2k4]

Well if minimum wage is $6/hour each guy should $144 a day.

[videoeditingmike]

homless? learn to spell

[Xekunite]

id just take the ps3 and run for it

[tiffsofierce]

capitalism at its worst

[pedrobianchi1]

Immoral!?! No way. This guy is giving these bums a job pretty much. Food and MONEY. This is smart.

[mokeacshiin]

8 units? haha...got mine =]

[uknova]

bahaha 8 units

[MovieDemocom]

Ohhhh I wish I owned the liquor store next door.

[stevenperry42]

E-E-E-E-E-E-E-EIGHT UNIT...S!

[tehawesomeorz]

I heard about this on the Rush Limbaugh show, but yes it is a win/win situation.

[MessyCans]

50 guys - 100bucks = $5,000

8 units = $4,800 retail

chance of him getting all 8 units - 40%

chance of him getting owned in the process - 100%

the look on his face after getting owned - priceless

[deadfoxxy]

LOL-- right!!!

[Micha112233]

8 units lol

[kdwormy]

my brothers just returned home from camping out at best buy for 3 friggin days. I think they are crazy but god damn that machine is AMAZING! Sucks they are gunna sell it on ebay. But for THREE TO FIVE GRAND EACH! I almost wish i went with them.

[Moviebro]

2000 dollers!!!God people are greedy!Go outside people.

[gangstaI]

I guess we all had the same idea.

[DeltaSigChi4]

Kill Capitalism.

E

[D4rkNRG]

All to fund terrorism.

[tron666]

at the best buy near my place some guys got in line early on the 15th and by the next day they had sold their spots for around $700, but whats funny is that they dident plan on buying a ps3 they just did it to sell the spots in line...

[NinjaNate]

hahahahaha he got owned

[StrikerDude1]

jajaja the info. of that guy jajajaja:

Abdul Salem...

"Hired Homeless Men" xD

[deadfoxxy]

thankYOU. I was doing the math too and was wondering if anybody else caught this... don't forget the 3-4 kids with the tent in FRONT of the 50 homeless people too.. so that leaves 4 units left!

[StrikerDude1]

jajaja the info. of the men jajajaja:

Abdul Salem...

"Hired Homeless Men" xD

[superdragondude]

If they were selling the Nintendo Wii, then I bet that there would be a lot more of them, than the Sony PlayStation 3. I also bet that there would be a bigger line, for the Nintendo Wii, with less hobos in it. Jesus Christ! What in god's name are Sony's targeting audience? Hungry homeless hobos? Hey, that would make a great advertisement for Sony's PlayStation 3. May be they could make another gazillion dollars.

[kasey1946]

great idea, these 'people' usually stand/lay /pass out/ puke / shoot up on sidewalks anyway....

why not let them make some money and get some meals while they do....what it is that they do?

[Cowards89]

Why didn't the people in the queue just give up after those guys in the tent. Surely they'll get the first 8, right?

[katamarans]

it is not immoral. tha's how usa works.

[qntqnt]

2K FOR PS3?

FUCKING IDIOTS

[toktokk666]

if you can afford the ps3, thats nice. still hardly have any games worth playing for it. i dont exactly trust playing another final fantasy series. only metal gear solid is something to look foward to and thats not worth my 600 dollars.

[JBadass]

ps3 owns.

[GodlyAtheist]

Those useless fucks are taking away fun from gamers for a profit. Now the only people who'll be able to get a PS3 are the wealthy. This is straight up bs and should not be supported no matter what your views on the console are.

[KuramaElo]

if id were the homeless man i would sell the ticket to the highest bidder online ^_^.

[venomxtc]

WOW!! LMAO thats kinda messed up tho for people who actley want to buy the PS3 TO PLAY IT! not resell on damn ebay...and they give out "tickets" in best buy u dont need to pay for the tickets to get the ps3 to answer you gexor

[micdeemel]

wtf!? that is not fair...

[sizurerobots]

Those bastard how dare they steal my idea.

[PizzaPlus]

Genius

[noobzrus12]

Thats horrible...

[spaceflunky]

Worst launch ever...

[o2dazone]

haha they're black

[genxor]

$5 says those homeless guys will take the PS3s and run, selling them for $50 to buy crack.

[MexicanCouple]

fullmetalawesome:

There are only 24 hours in a day, if your going to be a fucking racist at least dont sound like a dumbfuck... a mexican just proved he is smarter then you.

[brothermoon]

he's using sarcastic exaggeration.

[MexicanCouple]

fullmetalawesome:

There are only 24 hours in a day, if your going to be a fucking racist at least dont sound like a dumbfuck... a mexican just proved he is smarter then you.

[perdukey]

if he just passed around some malt liquor on friday morning, they might forget he owes them a couple hundred dollars.

[willzroyal]

FFS, dickhead

[ProudIdiot]

wow just for a crappy ps3, no freaking good game

[gtguard913]

$100 dollars, what an idiot. Give them two 40s and you are all set. Anybody say King Cobra, or Mickeys Malt liquor?

[fullmetalawesome]

I can find some Mexicans who will wait in line for 30 hours a day and for only fifty bucks!

[Cole531]

That news woman is hotness!

[MessyCans]

What the fuck are you smoking? and can I have some?

[amarestoudemire]

no, no she's not.

[Goldfingiz]

Great idea, but what happens if they don't get over 50? That guy will still owe each homeless guy $100/day EACH, although it wouldn't surprise me if he bailed out of that.

[endersgame]

i think they only dropped off a certain amount of guys at different places :/

[wrathi]

Hahaha ROFL, silly Americans ^^

[Edgeworth866]

Believe me, it'll be like this all over the world, unfortunately. -_-

[wrathi]

Yeah, sad to see tho :/

[teamballsout]

How is this immoral? The homeless guys got $100 per day and food. That's not bad at all.

[ionicbluebird]

Because they could make 2000 as opposed to 200, of course it helps when they are kept in ther dark, given a little money and some McDonalds, why they only have to sit in the cold and brave whatever weather comes their way.... in every aspect they are doing 99 percent of the work, and reaping 10 percent of the profits... but hey... it's allright, the're used to it, right.

[ripfire4]

Ha! Welcome to America where Bosses actually makes more money than their employees.

[Lseelba]

It's ILLEGAL because they are being paid less than minimum wage. Yes that is bad.

[dagnome1984]

That is bad how? They would not be there making money if it was not for the kid. Looks like you're not much of a humanitarian. They are making more than minimum wage given that they don't have to pay taxes on their "labor", plus food. Instead of helping you want to use government force to ram your ill informed agenda down others throats. You want them dependent on the system.

[JoeMomma2002]

Dependent on the system? So you'd rather have them wait in line for spoiled lazy rich teens? Oh yeah, that's a better outcome, have them do the biding of spoiled kids. It's a win-win situation!!!

[dagnome1984]

No one is forcing them to do the job. They obviously see it as an opportunity or else they would not be willing to do it. I would rather let them make their own decisions. It's their life they can do as they please. Why would you want to rip the choice from them?

[JoeMomma2002]

Is it not freedom of choice to be on food stamps/Government aid? Or dependent on the system as you say. Lets not back-peddle here, the issue is not freedom of choice. It's people exploiting those less fortunate for their personal gain, sure they make a little money but that does little to solve the general problem.

[dagnome1984]

They have minds and can think for themselves. Why should the government think for them by stopping it from happening? How would stopping it make the situation better? For some of them, this might have been the only job opportunity they have had for sometime. I did not say it's the end all be all. Or that it would solve the problem by a long shot or that it was pretty. I will agree on the free choice with regards to gov. aid.

[lonelyguy26]

I'm sorry but you're retarded. Like many of the other pussy comments in this thread about this being immoral. "It doesn't solve the overall problem." It sure as hell solves the overall fucking problem of getting them food in their stomach so they can survive. But you'd rather just hand them the money.

[lonelyguy26]

Go do it then. Hand them money. Why should tax payers pay for idiots like you? I'm not even a republican mind you. I'm a democrat and dont mind tax increases. But idiots like you squander government funds by handing it out.

[Lseelba]

Someone should show up Friday morning and offer those guys $150 per ticket.

[earthmother]

lol

[initialdrifter]

tell how it's immoral.

[fatrice217]

thats the smartest idea but immoral too

but at least when he go to hell he got himself a ps3

[maxGreis]

playstation 3 sucks!

[fox49]

no way man.. wayyyy better than xbox

[maxGreis]

maybe, but wii is much better than both.

[Jairopepa]

u suck

[maxGreis]

you're justin timberlake video sucks...

[sithar]

fanboy...

[maxGreis]

yup, that's right i'm a nintendo fan, why do you care? i don't care if you're a sony fan cuz they suck anyway. have fun watching them lose this next round of console wars...

[dimsum411]

[LiquidHardesign]

trop fort les ricains!! mais quelle bande d'enfoirés!!!
