People are ALREADY in line for the PS3!!!

[FudgeNuggets]

Granted it's Japan, but holy cow, what idiots/losers. Waiting in line for days for anything except bread and toilet paper in Stalin era Russia.

[terran2k]

waiting 9 days outside just to own a ps3 when it's released?? thats pretty sad

[thaclassikz]

^Shut up because you are not a hardcore gamer!!! Hard concrete here i come!

[schnikies79]

people are idiots.

[blueswitch]

Have any of them frozen themselves yet so they don't have to wait in anticipation?

idiots, well there's 9 days of your life you'll never get back.:rolleyes:

[rainless]

What I wonder is how those people go to the toilet...

[Anjow]

To quote Alan Partridge:

"That's sa-a-ad"

Anyone waiting that long doesn't deserve one, just as punishment for being such an idiot.

[FudgeNuggets]

Maybe like the hippies on the VW mini-bus who wait in line for Phish tickets, A chili pot. NEVER and I mean NEVER eat hippie chili. LOL!!!! I'm on a roll today.

[EvoFreak]

wow!!!!...... That is way beyond my expectation. There's a lot of things you can do in 9 days. Imagine you've waited 9 days for PS3 and ended you're not getting one. I'm not even gonna line up for 9 days for a FREE PS3!

[sno.lcn]

Losers, I hope it snows:santa:

[Zatrix]

Sleeping outside to pay 600 dollars and then sell it to make 3000 dollars or more?

OR be hardcore dedicated gamers to the best video game company in the world sony. without sony take away ALL the ps1 and ps2 games and all thats left is current nintendo games and xbox games..... what a world that would be

either option is totally inline with waiting online outside.

[rainless]

Maybe this goes back to some sort of tribal... Nah... This is just "thinning the herd." Somebody should go through there with a street sweeper/lawnmower combination.

Last man standing gets a Gamecube...

[FudgeNuggets]

Last thing I waited in line for hours and hours for was 'Star Wars: The Phantom Menace" and boy did I feel stupid after seeing it.

[Angry]

In 9 days I could have scored 2-3 times at least.... Thats games and otherwise.

Saddd.....

[zexmarquies01]

wow, that store in japan had BETTER get all 100,000 units of PS3's that japan is supposed to get. cause if the don't, well that line is going to have some angry people in it.


god, only thing about america i like, is the fact that we have walmarts and other retail stores in small towns, away from the large city. thus there isn't a re-enactment of the 10,000 man march.

What about these jackasses? http://www.kotaku.com/gaming/ps3/ps3-campers-already-in-line-at-best-buy-213422.php

[Antillian]

I'll be in line for a Wii, but I'm sure as hell not going out there a week beforehand. I'll be out there a few hours or so beforehand if necessary.

[blueswitch]

ya know what would be funny....and record it for youtube...is go out there and paintball those idiots...LOL

[PYROMANIAC]

yea waiting in line for a few days to make about $2500 is pretty worth it, when is the last time you made $2500 in 3-4 days?

[zexmarquies01]

yeah, i'll have a friend staking out a spot in line for the PS3 near me. that is, if there isn't a line already. we have some decent chances of there not being a line before noon on the 16th. so we will scope out walmart at like 9am'ish.

but i'll be at walmart early on the 18th, to make sure i get a wii.

no way in hell i'm not getting a wii on launch day!

[crofty83]

Knowing the initially problems the 360 had think i'd rather give buying one straight off a miss. Plus I live in the UK so it's March for us :(

[Falcon-K]

ya know what would be funny....and record it for youtube...is go out there and paintball those idiots...LOL


Then, even funnier is that there is a cop at the corner and pulls over the paintballers and arrests them!

Ahh... it's good to be the cameraman...

[Will Eatforfood]

effin ridiculous. Why don't the newcomers (in terms of Nintendo's time vs. Sony and Microsoft) ever put out enough units? Scarcity should not be a way to hype up a product.

Maybe it's set deadlines for launch and stuff.

PS3 was released today in japan. That's why they were waiting

[OC Noob]

Yeah, so many are going for $3000 on ebay

/sarcasm

http://search.ebay.com/search/search.dll?cgiurl=http%3A%2F%2Fcgi.ebay.com%2Fws%2 F&fkr=1&from=R8&satitle=ps3&category0=

now just wait for 300k of the damn things to show up on fleabay on the 17th and see how much you make for 9 days work. 9 x 24 = 216 hours sell it for $1200 (max after release considering what they are going for now) - $675 (unit + sales tax) = $525 / 216 = $2.43 an hour = chump change.

Have fun pooping in chilli pots suckas :p

Ha like they will actually record that profit on there tax reports.

[cornbread]

I hope half of these people wait, then get into the store only to find out the store sold out their ten units to the one hundredth guy in line in front of them.

Like others have said, this is just idiotic.

Same goes for the guy that buys one on Ebay for over $700.00, if you pay over $2000.00 for one, then idiotic doesn't come close to describing you. :beer:

[shard]

I honestly dont see a problem with them waiting this early, its not like those star wars guys that camped out 6 months before release (no lie!) If they realy want it, and they can afford to miss work/school/etc. then more power to them for pursuing a goal, be it passion or financial. :shrug:

[OC Noob]

I'm talking about sales tax from retail stores. haha, don't forget kids you need to report those earning, lol.

ps i edited it to make it more clear.

[Slaps]

Losers, I hope it snows:santa:

LOL, Western Wisconsin got over 6 inches last night. I wonder if anybody was in line.
