Sony's Play Station III - Don't Have It? Don't Worry

At midnight all the people of the United States has gone mad. For days they had parked outside shops, on sidewalks, in tent cities for the opportunity to be the first to buy the new Sony Play Station. And at midnight the doors opened and the riots occurred, people were trampled and jostled, and at least one youth was shot. Worth the price? As some of you talk about the opportunities to make money - Online auctions are the news with offers to sell more than $ 3000.00 and buy now that there are up to $ 8000.00 for a product that can be purchased at $ platform 500.00. What is wrong with everyone? Can not wait - Do you really have today? Or next week? What if you were not able to buy until next year? Would the world crumble around you? Want to starve, die of a horrible disease, lose your job, your family, your home? Let's Get Some perspective here, people! And for Sony, and retail stores, which is your responsibility? From then on the way back when shortages of sugar, the marketing geniuses have found a way to sell your product, no matter what the product, creating a false shortage. I remember running to the grocery store to buy sugar, because once there, and never be able to get the sugar again, or at least at a reasonable price. And then a miracle happened - the sugar has become available after the price increase and the panic ceased. Meanwhile, people were fighting in the aisles in a bag of sugar. Next was the shortage of gas - not the most recent, but in the '70s, when he had to get gas only on the day fixed for the plate numbers. The clashes erupted again, after the panic and after the rise in prices led to a "small, small" (but never at the price before the shortage) that everyone was relieved and blessed that prices have fallen and gas was plentiful again. Sounds familiar. And Cabbage Patch dolls, Tickle Me Elmo, etc, etc. Think about it - every year, just before Christmas, there are one or more "Got To Have" toy is a scarce commodity. There have been television shows and films made for the company to acquire the "latest". Only not as funny in real life. People are wrong to spend money that are not business expenditure, and hearts are broken because children do not receive this hyped new toy. I know that work is work and that all must strive to make money, but where is their social responsibility in all this? Sony, if you really are going to release additional 750,000 units by year's end, as all television news report, why press the buttons of this panic? For a bit of free advertising "with the hype that lasts only a day or two at most? If it were really a product worthy of opening, then they should not have to resort to cheap tactics. And in retail stores, how can justify these acts of riot inclined to make a few sales that have done it anyway. I do not know who is deceived by the marketing system more - the shops or to the consumer. You are on sale for the individual, to find ways of shopping to satisfy their customers, you should know better.And for consumers - stand up and do not be fooled by these marketing systems. And while we have - and not spending every penny we have in the newest, greatest gadget. It comes down in price once the next stage - Who is the fool who waits and saves money or that should be first on your block and charged several times?
