PS3 lines already forming in America

Sony PlayStation 3Nine days until Sony’s PlayStation 3 launches in America, and lines are already forming. A CAG forumer went to Best Buy this morning and saw about 7 people waiting outside. He went inside and one of the workers told him that they had been there since Monday. He immediately pondered: “Do these people have no lives?”

Of course the life of the waiting-in-line-for-almost-two-weeks PS3 fans isn’t made easier by a bunch of people coming to Best Buy and making funny remarks like: “I hope you guys brought enough food!” Another one said, “Where is the line for PS4? Is it on the other side?” :-P

I wonder what life would be like if you had almost two weeks to just wait and do nothing. Do they take a holiday for this, or are they unemployed, at least the latter would make some sense, they could sell their PS3 on eBay. But these seem like PS3 fanboys, and die-hard ones at that. Hopefully for them they won’t be disappointed on November 17.

And because those lines aren’t that interesting, we’ll add the two latest PS3 commercials for your viewing pleasure.

    1) Consoles have a huge number of games that you can’t play on PC

    2) Yall are forgetting that developers are the ones who make or break a game. Wii may have its unique interactive capability, and PS3 may have its powerhouse graphics, but they don’t mean a thing unless utilized properly to the max. They will both have crappy games for sure, but they will also have frickin awesome games that only one or the other system will get. It’s all depends on who’s more creative and ingenious in creating games for these systems.

    This whole “I hate Wii/PS3/360″ argument is moot.

    I wonder if it would be worth it to stand in line just to scalp it on ebay vs. working a crappy retail job for the winter. It must get boring fast just hanging out over there… unless you can split waiting shifts with other people. But still.. does that mean you get only 1 PS3?

    Well, the kids are getting more and more crazy every day… teens shooting up high schools. Pregnant at 13 and now… standing in line for 9 days just to get a videogame console.

    granted ps3 may have awesome graphics and 1080p support, etc etc… but unless you can afford a 60″ plus plasma screen to go with, whats the point in owning one?
    its like owning a ferrari in your garage cause you can’t afford to drive it.
