Well, there's definitely a story here. Crazy Ken waiting to greet one of his fellow nationals at the PS3's debut, and this kid comes up and says, "ni hao". That's awesome!

Appreciate the links, but there's nothing in either one of those articles that suggests that this partciular guy was one of the ones who was paid. In fact, the second source (Pocket-lint)isn't even sure:

"However some reports online suggest that the mainstay of the crowds weren't hardened gamers keen to get home and play the latest games, but Chinese men and women paid to stand in line so wealthy Japanese Businessmen and women could sell the new console in online auctions for vast sums of profit."

This is no better than Kotaku, really. Sounds like nobody knows for sure as everyone seems to be getting their info from "some reports online".

@Phanman, who are your multiple sources? I'd be interested in reading them.

Yeah, that whole Lik-Sang thing was garbage. Sony has become a victim of their own success. This next generation is for the taking if MS or Nintendo wants to stand up.
