    lol @ ppl lined up for PS3

    I went to clock today at my work (Best Buy)around 3:45 pm PST and started my usual rounds, looking for shit to do. After about an hour I noticed that our General Manager was requested to deal with a large group of people outside the store over the headset. Naturally I was intrigued and followed him out the doors. To my surprise there were 8-10 people camping on the side of our store. They had reclining chairs, tents, and that mesh stuff that keeps the bugs out to incase their tents (no bugs in Redding, CA btw).


    After finding out they were there to camp the PS3 I busted into a belly laugh. I mean come on, they're camping the PS3 like a Nidhogg. 3 days of not being able to move from that spot. Hardcore I suppose. Anyway it's about 40 degress F in Redding at the moment, I hope it snows ^^

    Damn instead of the original 400k shipment, its down to 150k-200k lol. So people who lined up for preorders for PS3 at ebgames near end of the line got fucked. My friend who was behind me in line got a call from them saying he cant get one on launch. But im guranteed mine =D

    I preordered 4 of them from different stores around my area... hopefully I didn't make a dumbass move. Hoping for the OMG IT"S NEW syndrome to kick in like on the 360 release. Interested to see what I can fetch for them on Ebay a week or so after release

    For anyone who sells a PS3 on ebay, please give out the person's name who bought it so we can all laugh.

    It's fake bidders. They do that just to fuck them over.

    Why would the same guy bid over himself like this?

    At the Best Buy I work at there close to 30 people lined up when I left work last night. What I don't get is, there are plenty of stores in our area with zero people in line yet they choose to be the 30th person in a line for 4 days at Best Buy when they can be first in line at a Target or something.

    You should walk past that whole line slowly, playing DS while wearing a Nintendo shirt (logo on back since you'll be covering the front with your DS).

    heres somone that has no clue how ebay works.

    He bid 9,000 from the start, then somone else bid 5, 8, etc, but with how ebay works, it don't show how much mr hesper408 bid in the 1st place.

    It's still fake cause you don't bid $9,100 when the highest bid is $2,500.

    Plus the posting times are seconds apart from each other. Anyone that would pay thousands for a PS3 is a fucking idiot.


    BTW, I went to BB last night and saw like 20 ppl outside. They had tables and chairs and tents. Man, I hope it rains again.

    Bu...bu...but you can play Resistance and watch Talledega Nights on BluRay right out of the box! That's worth the pneumonia, right?

    I agree that waiting in line days before a console is released, especially in harsh conditions is a little stupid, but people getting shot at? I wish I could find the shooter and punch them in the face, since those people in line seem to have it hard enough.
