If you were planning to buy a PS3, would you move your purchase date forward. or treat this as a storm in a teacup and wait until The Appointed Time?

Shortage = Price Hike. Buy now or wait till its over.

Just like patent trolls, they wait till the company makes it big-time before suing. This way they get a much larger settlement. This is the reason the guys who sued Mark Zuckerberg should have waited a while...
