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.


After the rubix cube it makes sense eggs follow…

All I have to say is meh, Sony has been (for a while now) a total BS company that puts other companies out of business for political reasons (note that I wont even start about all the technical problems they’ve been having). PS3…..Pfffffft, check the specs, devs wont want to add the massive complexity of an asyncronous programming model to their already complex games. As for the profiteers, spend 500.00$ for a console, then add another 200.00$ for say 3 games and an extra controller and on top of that lose 7 days of work (counting weekends) figure minimum of 20.00$ an hour pay rate at 8 hours a day 20×8x7 = 1120.00$ so 500 + 200 + 1120 = 1820.00$ and round to 1900.00$ including taxes, hmmm so to make a 1000.00$ profit you would need to sell at 2900.00$?????? I dunno about you guys but 3000.00 would make my STi gain about 40 WHP and give a lot more pleasure than a PS3

haha i like all these people talking bad about those waiting in line. No on to defend them because they ARE ALL IN LINE. haha im not getting one, to expensive

Actually the BestBuys are supposed to get 100 PS3 per store for the launch.

Okay, has this even been confirmed? After all, I can’t find mention of this anywhere else.

8 days … bunch of nutbags.

Sony is going to sell a shitload of PS3s. The price tag could be 2 grand and they would still fly off the shelves. Remember when PS2 & Xbox came out? $300 US was a crazy amount of money to spend on a console then. But now, with inflation and the amazing technology that goes into these machines…500 bucks ain’t so bad.

Some people need something to do, and rather than work, they’d rather camp out at Best Buy before promptly returning to mommy’s basement to play PS3.

Oh, CrispyBit – 3k to gain 40HP? No wonder STi’s are so slow :) LS1 baby!

It’s been confirmed that these people were in fact waiting for Gears of War and not the PS3 – just a bunh of rumor mongering.

Indeed, clearly a stunt paid for by Sony. Common guys, don’t believe this kind of PR…. The cheapest way of getting publicity for Sony, pay a couple of fat guys, take some pictures and hey-presto, free stories all around.

Ah, okay, Gears of War buyers. So who the hell is this first guy who started saying these were Playstation fans. Too many lies these days. Don’t believe the man.

Probably just a cheap marketing gag.
And if I say cheap, I mean that literally – It doesn’t cost a fortune to make some unemployed chaps camp for 9 days in front of a supermarket.
