Actually...
A credit card company MAY drop a client for too much business, as they could stand to lose the money if it turns out that they have to make refunds because the product isn't delivered. So that isn't so far-fetched.

Paypal isn't all that notorious for scammers, but they ARE notorious for ripping people off, locking up their legitimate accounts and freezing the funds unreasonably.

I have to think that a better way to market this beast would be through retail stores. There would be long lines to buy it, if it is legit.

Is it a scam? Maybe. Or maybe just an attempt to launch something legit when they know they can't afford to outspend MS and Apple's advertising budgets. But I still can't afford to chance it, so I will have to wait til the dust settles.
