PS3 and Wii Photo Contest

PreGameLobby.com members! In a nation wide effort to spread the word about our awesome site we need your help! Plus we are willing to reward you for your time. On Nov. 17th the Sony PS3 will be making its triumphant debut, followed by Wii on the 19th to the good people of North America. PreGameLobby wants to take part in both of these fiascos!

We will be rewarding a lucky member whom submits the best photo of people waiting in line to get their grubby hands on a PS3 or Wii! The lines are currently forming! Snow, sleet and rain are nothing to these future owners and entrepreneurs. These fanatics have their eyes on the prize, and we want pictures of them!

And it's content over quality. You don't have to be the best photographer or have the best camera. Just do your best. Please email you photos (or videos) to: PreGameLobby.launch.boss@twango.com

We will have a gallery here for all submitted photos as they come in. So keep checking in and sending those pictures!

And while you are gawking at the those in line, we are hoping that you could kindly hand out some of our nifty contest info cards. These cards can be downloaded below in pdf format, and come four to a page. The cards have the email address where others can send their photos, along with some basic info about our great site.

PGL Handout Card

We are hoping that if 20 or so of us each hand out about 20 or so cards, we could collectively recruit a few hundred new members! These poor souls are still battling out very angry pre-pubescent teens on Live! and we must save them!

So print out a handful of cards, grab your camera and check out those lines! The site owners have a special gift for the best photo taken, so don't miss out!

Just back from handing out some cards and met some crazy gamers.

Two stops. A Circuit City and a Best Buy.

The CC is getting six consoles in, there were 12 people in line. Person #3 is selling her spot in line for $1,000! Not the console, just her spot.

Some guys at BB have been then since Tuesday mornning! It has been raining here in Sacramento since then, so it has not been a dry wait.

Most of these people seemed like they are buying for themselves, not to eBay, which was cool.

Both sites were interviewed by local media. Some were on TV already.

BB has provided portable toilets. Nice!

Both stores are not opening until the morning.

I took a few photos to get the collection going. The people in line had no problem with the pictures and seemed to be enjoying thier celebrity status.

It's funny. I went to Best Buy to check out the PS3 demo unit. After playing NBA 07 and Motorstorm, I was kind of disappointed. I mean, there is ALOT of hype on how great the system was going to be. But after playing the demos, I am figuring the same sort of games could be made on the 360. Oh well, I know if I happen across one, I will pick it up... and sell it on eBay.

Great photos - I am wondering if they will have the people in line engage in death matches to see who REALLY deserves the system. And I don't mean Halo death matches - hell no (it's a PS3) - but like real world, Running Man style death matches. That would be awsome.

In Lexington, KY there was a drive-by shooting with a BB gun, and a few people were hit. Stupid rednecks.

Well Serren is the big winner of this round. As winner he would receive a new Pioneer Plamsa display. But, since he's an admin here he's exempt from winning anything.

No member winner this time around. The only winners this time around were the people who received PGL cards from Serren and who might have their gaming lives changed by visiting us here!

Everyone be sure to participate in the next contest to be entered for the sweet prizes and schwag.

ps - just kidding about the plasma!
