We just do not know what is going on with Sony these days. The PS3 has such potential if Sony would stop pushing it on everyone and focus on getting those games out. Be that as it may, Phil Harrison apparently tried to take over a rock concert for an impromptu auction of a PS3 console. Well, needless to say, no one offered anything over Phil's starting bid of 600. The one poor concert goer who actually did bid the starting price apparently then begged anyone else to outbid him. You can read the main gist of it below.
"In total, the PS3 received one bid, for the 600 euro starting price (“The price it’ll be in UK shops”, he kindly reminded everyone) – less than the t-shirt. Even then the sole bidder clearly regretted his purchase (which he only made on the promise that the console would be signed), for he spent a minute or so bellowing like a lunatic at his fellow audience members, urging them to pick up the bidding baton, and save him from his regrettable impulse purchase: “Somebody bid! It’s only a hundred quid per autograph! Please?! Why? Why? Why?”."
