Ps3 Camping, Where & Why?

I have a test tomorrow and a orthodontist appointment , hopefully my second to last orthodontist visit . I did not know until tonight but the Toys R Us near me was taking pre orders last week for the ps3.

My plan was to camp out in front of best buy starting at ~3:30pm tomorrow but they are only guaranteed to have 20 of the 60GB consoles. The search goes on...

 

here is a pick of the place i am talking about
this is exactly what it looked like when i drove by

oh well I hope you get there in time man after you take care of bidness . maybe you still will be able to get there . I think most store should make people go home until the night before launch ,that would get rid of alot of headaches

 

is there any good place to get ps3 near fairfax or around that area. i went past my circuitcity today and there was already a big line

 

most everywhere i went today had fairly large lines...it has rained since about 4 in the afternoon here, a few times it was really raining hard, but people seem to be hanging tuff. its all over the local news. it is actually kind of funny driving past target and all you see are 4 or 5 tents set up along the building. i did stop and talk to a guy today and asked what time he showed up and he said since 6am. that is insane...

That should help.

 

Some of the guys I camped with were there at 10:30 am. I didn't get there until 4:30ish. Yeah, I know I owe my dad HUGE. Since he is unemployed though... it could be treated as a vacation. And all the guys that were camping near me said that I should sell mine. Not after this long of a wait I'm not. I could care less if its buggy, overheats, etc, I just want to play some Resistance. It really isn't even a line, its a group of 6 guys that are waiting, everyone holds each others spot. Cicuit City is also offering a 2-4 year warranty on the console which I guess is nice, so when I screw it up with homebrew, I can just return it.

 

What's going to happen to this forum thread when it comes out????

 

Ill be like if you didn't get one check my ebay auction my id is sschref.

Thats whats going to happen to this thread ppl will be crying and stuff.

 

Your a vulture pick on peoples scraps.

i believe you mean "dog-eat-dog world," emachine.

 

It happens tonight. Is everyone ready?

 

No there are way to many people already there for me just checked looks like im not getting one.....

 

same here not getting 1. BB only is gettin 18, and theres over 20 people there, and every else to.
Pretty Pissed right now.

 

I bet you went to the same best buy as I did then. Because that is why im not geting one.....

 

did you go to the one next to Fairview? Cause across the street Future shop had a lot less people, but only 10 console, and Maxi(?) had 3 consoles, people had already lined up.

 

Yeah maxi is also charging 10 dollars more for a ps3. Futureshop had a line of more then 10 people.

 

what are you planning on doing, waiting till Jan. for the next shipment, or EBAY. I went to THE SONY STORE and they said they weren't gonna get any for a while, that pissed me off alot!
