fermentor666 Posted November 16, 2006 Share Posted November 16, 2006 I read in EGM that at a Tokyo show in September a bunch of the PS3 consoles in the Sony booth overheated. It's why I didn't even think about getting the 360 until a couple of months after release. People standing in lines for games and consoles are fucking douchebags, too. Especially $600 consoles. Dudes are going to be getting robbed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fermentor666 Posted November 16, 2006 Share Posted November 16, 2006 My friend works at a hotel that's connected to a mall downtown with a Sony store. He doesn't care about it but a guy he works with has been talking about it for weeks and is going to try to get in the mall before it opens through work so he can get in line before everyone else. If you had to do it, the best way would be to drive out to a big-box store in the middle of nowhere, far away from any city or suburbs. It's kind of like a zombie apocolypse: stay away from any majorly populated areas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Theo Huxtable. Posted November 16, 2006 Share Posted November 16, 2006 yeah the people waiting in line are complete idiots. in a month they'll be readily available without lines. in a few months the price may drop. xbox360 i think came out in about november '05. but i ust got a 360 only a couple months ago. i don't regret it. the games aren't any less fun because i got it later. these fools lining up don't look at it in perspective. 10-15 years from now a playstation 3 will not be seen as some kind of technologically godly creation that these nerds are worshiping it as being -- it will be looked at the same way you see a sega genesis today. just another obsolete system that most people don't care about anymore or think is "high tech."

Theo Huxtable. Posted November 16, 2006 Share Posted November 16, 2006 another way is to go to a store in the hood. a bestbuy or circuit city in the ghetto. most of the video gamers that are nerdy enough to line up tend to be of the caucasian or asian ethnicity... with a few token blacks and hispanics sprinkled here and there. and they're not going to be camped out in compton. and ghetto people don't do shit like camp out for video games or star wars. they'll line up for the new jordans (in the daytime) but that's about it.

fermentor666 Posted November 16, 2006 Share Posted November 16, 2006 Then you'd just get robbed for your PS3, though. At least they'll have cops in the nice areas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Theo Huxtable. Posted November 16, 2006 Share Posted November 16, 2006 not really. you just go into a circuit city in compton and buy the ps3. get in the car. get on the freeway and retreat back into your cookie-cutter suburb neighborhood. then post about it on the internet about how you be runnin the streets of compton and how niggas can't cramp your style.

soupBDC Posted November 16, 2006 Share Posted November 16, 2006 Make 34 mock up PS3 boxes, bump key the lock, perform some stunt to block all wharehouse cameras, mask the actual ps3s in some other container and take them out one by one. Sell them all together to someone else asap. If I had a chance to net 50k sheeeiiittttt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weapon X Posted November 16, 2006 Share Posted November 16, 2006 I just got a phone call from my buddies. They're outside the Wal-Mart and have been confirmed for getting three (one for each) by the manager. So I won't be getting one for launch. But do you think some fool like me has a fighting chance to get one before Christmas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After School Special Posted November 16, 2006 Share Posted November 16, 2006 ANOTHER STORY ______________________________________ People took 50 homeless people in a U-Haul truck to a Circuit City to have them wait in line for the new Sony Playstation 3, paying them 100 dollars a day to wait in line for 2 days for the release. Video Here http://www.kotaku.com/gaming/ps3/homeless-people-line-up-in-america-for-a-ps3-215198.php On another note, after work there is a party tonight, I expect it to get out around 4-5 AM. You better believe I'm gonna check out the lines at stores around here. I figure there are enough shops that there will be at least one that I can possibly cop one. And yes, I'm one of the assholes that has no intention of keeping it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SUR X3 Posted November 17, 2006 Share Posted November 17, 2006 We had people lining up in front of my store last night as we closed. We called the cops on them... They were only allowed 24 hours. I did drop back by later though, about 70 people lined up, we only have 36. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
