Someone hoarding 100 PS3s to resell for higher price?

You’re either going to take this picture very seriously and scream around town as if it’s the end of the world… or just ROFLMAOZ at it’s absolute absurdity.

This picture on your right (uploaded by Boxthor at flickr) has been causing a ruckus over the web. As far back as we can trace it, the only “info” we can really squeeze out is that these are 100 PS3 units all being resold by this one guy from Japan named Eiji.

If this is true, then it’s a really cruel world. In the words of fellow blogger Chris C., “a pretty despicable story if true.” You don’t just hoard PS3 units and sell them for a higher price without being called the next Lex Luthor. A lot of commenters online have even said that Sony “should be cracking down people like this instead of shutting down legit businesses like Lik-Sang.” But that’s just one side of it…

If this is false, then what could it be? For one thing, it could be a pic of the stock room of a game store. Or maybe these are just empty boxes (the units in them could have been used in kiosks or whatnot). Or it was Photoshopped…

We can’t confirm anything about this, but from the pic itself, we’re assuming that’s not even a solid number of 100 boxes. Try counting/estimating it yourself – 13 boxes per row, times three visible rows at the base, and so on… They don’t add up to a full 100. Well, whatever the case be, we’d like to hear what you guys think. Violent reactions? Hilarious assumptions? Controversial arguments? That “Comment” link below isn’t there for nothing…
