Start lining up now

People have already started lining up at major retailers for Friday's launch of the PS3. There were people in cars at Best Buy last night (b/c they don't allow them to line up outside) and people sleeping outside of Target last night and camping there this morning. Yes, it is currently Wednesday and no, Friday is not tomorrow. Crazy!!

My wife called me and said "there's a bunch of people camping in front of Target this morning for the PS3." My response: "did you pass out any PreGameLobby.com cards??"

This should be crazy. Sony is having a launch party up in San Francisco to support people who are waiting in line. Should be fun.

That is insane...however, I tossed the idea around for a few seconds about doing it, just so I could make a $1500 or so profit from selling it on ebay.

I was a BB buying some HD DVD's and the phone did not stop ringing with inquires. At one point the clerk started laughing and finished out the call.

He told me that the lady was asking when her son could show up on Friday.

Here is a crappy cell phone pic of the campers out front. The line goes to the end of the building, there are about 30-40 people already:

yeah, there were already 4-5 people in line at Circuit City today. All of which were there yesterday morning... friggin' insane!

It'll be nice for those who want to just waltz into the store on Sunday for a Wii!

Snap... I wonder how crazy people are around here.

I thought the same thing, Blars. I'd stay up all night to make a grand. I could buy another PS3 and games with that kind of money.

Haha! We were on a meeting and the IT Manager of the potential client dropped that one. It was the first time I had heard that expression and started laughing in the meeting. Cool guy.
