    man I remeber when I bought my Ps2 lol I didnt even give a damn about games I was so amazed lookin at the splash screen and that screen were you make that display spin around , they should have kept that it was cool and made it a background for music . I think the screen that pops on when you turn on your Ps2 is the best in console history (with all those blocks) lol and the noise it makes

    I got my PS2 a year after it came out also... I think I was 9 years old andwasn't into gameing that much yet. My PS2 broke a year ago so I went out and bought one of the slim PS2s' from Best Buy when they were $200 I also bought a 3 year extended warrenty for it for and additonal $50; the guy at BestBuy told me with that warrenty when the PS3 comes out and can bring in my Slim PS2 along with that warrenty and they will give me $250 store credit towards the playstation 3. I went into bestbuy to comfirum if that was still true and the lady at customer sevice said yes... she said if I was going to camp to bring in my ps2 the day befor and they would give a me a gift card for $250 bucks on the spot.

    My friend works at Target and says that they have 17 PS3's at launch. And remember guys, 90% of all PS3 consoles are the 60GB version.

    I only have 2 tries at this. I have a busy schedule so im gonna be kinda late for camping.

    Since i get off work at 5 PM on the 16th I will go to walmart right after to check out the lines. I still dont know how it will work tho since its 24/7 walmart and i heard they might give out tickets for the PS3 at 10pm.

    Plan B is to go and camp at Fred meyers right after i check Walmart since they wont open till 10am the next day.

    Its probably impossible to do this in a major city but i live in the boonies and hopefully not alot of ppl are hardcore gamers or else im screwd till march.

    call your local stores and ask them what time they are launching, not sure if anyone is from that area or not. if it is a midnight launch and you plan on lining up on the 16th at 7pm, i think your too late. on the otherhand 7pm for a store opening at 8am or 10am isn't really too bad. its a gamble no matter what and really no right answer. i say that because there have already been people lining up RIGHT NOW or even LAST WEEK. good luck!

    I'm depressed. My brother in Fargo checked Best Buy just a little while ago and said there was 10 "huge tents" already lined up. So if he says huge, I'm guessing at least 2 people per tent, 3 to be safe. So that means at least 30 people are already lined up. It's 6:00 on monday. I can't get there till 4:00 on wednesday. Do I even stand a chance of getting one? My dreams are slipping away...
