    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...

    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

    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...

    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.
