PS3

Everyone seems to be blogging about the Playstation 3 launch in Tokyo last Saturday.
This Kotaku report ^[1] talks consoles being re-sold online at a big profit and homeless and Chinese people being paid to stand in line.
I’m not surprised though as it happens with a lot of events here. For Hanami (Cherry Blossom parties), groups often pay homeless people to spend all day guarding a prime location under the trees, before the group turns up in the early evening.
