PS3 lines already forming in America

8 November 2006

Nine 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?”

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.

After the rubix cube it makes sense eggs follow…

has it occurred to anyone that some of the people waiting in line might be doing it at the behest of sony? anyone recall the whole scandal a few years back when sony employees posed as ordinary moviegoers so that their movies would get positive buzz from ‘ordinary people’ exiting screenings?

i wouldn’t put anything past a massive multinational nowadays. there’s no such thing as bad publicity.

The queues aren’t a sign of real demand, but a reflection of the fact that Sony has almost no units available for launch. Basically if you haven’t pre-ordered one you’re not getting one until later. With so many good games still to get through on the current generation I can wait a while for the next.

My first gen PS2 crapped out three times. Unfortunatly it only came back from the dead twice, hence my new slim line.

As far as the PS3 goes, I’m going to have to wait and hear what people who actually play one have to say about it before I drop all that money on a system I’m not convinced is the best out there.

Paid Sony actors to generate hype.

I think Sony paid of these people to create some hype…
