In Modern Systems

I went to my Best Buy today, and there was about 10 people already there with little tents and such. Anyone else have this around them?

At my local Best Buy there have been people outside since Tuesday. One of my buddies is out there. I don't get it.

Yea it was on the news last night that people were camped out already at Best Buy. That's some crazy stuff.

They are doing that in Toronto at some Best Buy and FutureShop (As I was told on another forum). I wouldn't mind waiting in Line but the thing is it is Cold now and your sleeping in a Tent...Very cold.. Oh well. Any Shops opening up tonight at Midnight for the PS3? Malon you should line up for the Wii! I mean go line up now!

No, lol. I called my Best Buy again, and they said they still can't tell me the number of Wii's they are getting but he said they are getting a lot....I think I'll go 5 hours early or something like that

They're only shipping 250 000 units or something. If they don't camp they may have to wait to play, uh... Call of Duty 3 :(

I think the most recent numbers are 150,000 - 200,000, considering everyone was taking pre-orders when the numbers were still 400,000, I doubt a lot of those campers are getting anything.

I know why they are waiting outside, I just don't see how they do it.

... It's not that hard to sleep in a tent.. And they're only there for like.. 4 or 5 days in balmy tempuratures.

I guess worth it to some.

It isn't worth it.
Come on, it's just a gaming machine and lots of people risc their jobs for it... if they have one in the first place.

Take me. I'm quite a fanboy (as you might know

I sawreports about the PS3 launch riots and thought... "how can you be so stupid"?

I agree. It makes me wonder if any of those people have jobs, and if they do, did they use vacation time?

If they don't I have a job I wonder where they get all there cash for this system.

i know people who waited inside at a 24/7 store. Thats what people should of done.

Indeed...I watched the insanity on the news last night. Fistfights, the first people into the Best Buy stores being treated like "royalty" by the press & the store, "scalpers" buying the console and then turning around and selling it on eBay...one went for over I mean, ugh. When I think of the use that thirty grand could have had...
A friend of mine was wise and put a deposit on one a long time ago and calmy picked it up without any injuries

hahah this is so funny. especiallly the dude at the end!

This is how pathetic some people are...

Glad that A-hole didn't make a penny, wait he did... err, after listing fees and stuff... Prolly not.

Anywhosits, now pay attention to who the BUYER is for all these auctions.





I got all this from about 5 minutes of research on ebay, and I didn't even check that many auctions.... What do you guys make of it? Conspiricy?!?!?!

He mixed it up a little in the last one, $11,999 Some of those people selling them are going to acutally think they're getting 10 grand.

No, the sellers started the auctions at that price (10,000 / 11,999 ) and the fake account had the only bid.

Not sure why somebody would do that though.
