In my opinion, it's because far too many parents feel that they have to purchase their children's love. My understanding is that a full 10% of the XBox 360's sold in the USA have been sold on eBay. For between $600 and $700 apiece, or a 100% markup. Had I known, I'd have ordered two, sold one, and essentially got one for free. I don't know exactly *how* the monster got created, but I do know there doesn't seem to be any way to put it back in its cave. On a related note, I consider myself lucky to live in a working class neighborhood. The pressure on my kids to keep up with the Joneses is nearly non-existent.
