There is no way you can compare the two.

140 dollars for an extra week and a half is COMPLETELY different, and I agree with Nivek in saying stupid, than waiting saving 10-20 bucks when they drop the price once football season is almost over.

Each individual has their own individual wealth and ability to value any product. Criticism of the buyer by those that also intend to buy the same product seems to be ultimately hypocritical to me.

So you're saying paying the suggested retail price instead of waiting a few weeks to get it 5.00/10.00 (59.99 new - 54.99 used 49.99 with gamer card) cheaper is just as "stupid" as paying 140.00 more than suggested retail?

I'm saying that if someone is wealthy enough that the price paid isn't relevent, there is no difference.

Neither practice is stupid, except to those that are concerned with the lives and practices of others.

Well I understand what you are saying. I just think no matter how much money you have paying well over 100.00 suggested retail for something to have it a few days earlier is stupid.
Having the money doesn't make it smart...
