That stuff's crazy-hardcore.
I heard someone who was like near the front of the line for PS3 sold their spot for $600.
Let's hope that guy didn't spend his PS3 money just for that spot, otherwise he's just lower than plain retarded. _________________

I was thinking about camping out for the Wii, but I changed my mind, because Brawl is not going to come out for another year, and I want a black one.
My uncle didn't really camp out, because he waited in line for a PS3 for only about half a day. HE WAS 11th IN LINE!!!! The bad part, the store he waited at, only had 10!!!!!!! It would've been fun to at least know that a relative has a PS3. |

For the longest time, I was convinced that by waiting in line, you would be a bit more of a console fan. A few days ago with the release of the PS3, I was proven wrong. With the excess of violence, I'm ready to once again stand in line and never take "we're out" for an answer. I just go with a frickin Uzi and blow away everyone that got one. I mean, what the hell is wrong with the people willing to go and get themselves shot for a system?! _________________ [img:450:200:d0a28f8b61]http://www.anime-source.com/upload/uploadFiles/9979.jpg[/img:d0a28f8b61]

I'm not super-hyped over paying $300-600 for a NextGen system... so unless I plan on camping out for about 2 or 3 years, I think I'll be fine sticking to my usual routine. I still have PS2 and GC games I need to conquer. _________________

That's actually a real bargain. Those junkers sell for over 2 grand on ebay. A couple guys near my city had their's stolen at gunpoint, by two guys who followed them home from the store. I think also some people were shot and stabbed. Seriously, dieing for the shittiest console on the market. Worst possible senario. BTW, please ignore my bias against the PS3. The only reason I make fun of it is because it SUCKS. _________________ Official winner of the A-S Worst Thread Ever Award

two grand? THAT was the bargain price, haha. I did an eBay search that morning and I saw plenty for 5, 6, 7k... some even $20,000!! I was suspicious of some people people posted photos of their "receipts," many of which said they paid $100. People are greedy sons-of-bitches, makes me sick. Of course, selling your spot in line in different.
as for the crime and chaos, I suppose it was only a matter of time. When you stand outside of a store and basically announce to the world "hey, there's $600 in my pocket right now," then yeah, you're a sitting duck. Here in Boston we had problems of crowd control since people couldn't wait at a specific store, they all had to wait at multiple entrances to the mall in the city center. _________________

I thought I'd show this. At least I thought it was kinda funny.

And while you're on the topic of shooting, this was from last year when the 360 was released:

| I've got a long list of PC games I'll be playing while waiting for those prices to come down. Anything over $300 is too much for me to spend, let alone wait in line for. |

Damn, mine only sold for 2.4 grand. I got ripped.
And I doubt the Wii will go down in price for a long time seeing as it is already only $250. _________________ Official winner of the A-S Worst Thread Ever Award

HEY HEY HEY. CONSOLE WEEKEND and I didn't get ANY sleep because I camped for BOTH the PS3 and Wii. I must say that the PS3 camp was more fun since there were more people. And I really don't like it when people just turn around and re-sell their PS3 for a higher price. I mean come on, there are other people waiting in taht line that really want to play the PS3. If you just want to take a PS3 and turn around to make a profit at the expense of breaking some kids heart, then let the Video Game God have mercy on your soul when you try to respawn  _________________ PM some funny pick-up lines please > |

Yeah, but you're more likely to be shot as well... plus in the Wii lines you will have lots of DS games going on. Sony fans refuse to use them. OR at least they hide them until they are all alone in their rooms. _________________ Official winner of the A-S Worst Thread Ever Award

Haha. Yeah, I guess. I don't know, someone was smart enough to bring a Scrabble board, as well as Clue so it was a pretty fun night. I actually had my DS on me at the time, but I didn't feel like playing. xD I'm not a Sony or Nintendo Fanboy, I simply just like to play games xPP _________________ PM some funny pick-up lines please > |

| I was on a treadmill in a gym when I saw the news that said a man was shot at the PS3 store line up by a robber LOL. I almost fell off the treadmill because of the hilarity of it all. Seriously, buying consoles on launch date is stupid. I think I'll have more fun playing tetris than any games on PS3 right now. |
