Playstation 3 launch date: Friday, November 17, 2006
"you're in line for the playstation?!" i asked in disbelief.
"yeah," said the guy on the portable camping chair, "actually i was really planning to come on thursday, but i saw some people in line here today, so here i am."
"that's insane."
"i heard some people were already here since monday."
i knew people would be camping out for the short-supply PS3, but i didn't expect them to line up THIS early. apparently bestbuy is selling 40 units according to a "reputable source," and it looks like these guys are enough to fill the orders, so more power to them. i also passed by wal-mart and found out that they're selling 10. one guy was camping outside, and guards told him to pack it up, and after some arguing and pleading, he finally left.
crazy people.
(i gotta score one!!!)
