...And there goes your credibility of the window. Somebody, bookmark this
message. I'm glad that you don't advocate Linux (you troll a newsgroup
instead). What you do is not only unethical and marginally-illegal, but it's
also selfish... just like proprietary software vendors who lock everybody
else out to increase benefit to selves. You elevate Sony's prices, rob
people from the few available units, and collect the margins at the expense
of PS enthusiasts who will be willing to pay this artificial price.
Something tell me you'll retract, but the lack of tongue in cheeking would
imply that it's merely an act of self defense.
Best wishes,
Roy
