I haven't read any official comments from those guys, but perhaps they setup camp there, took pictures and then left?
Or they are really camping there, but swap out with friends every day.
There isn't any other explanation for the going to the bathroom part.

Sure there is. The people behind them in line (when there ARE people behind them in line) would not object to letting them go into the store to go to the bathroom, because they would undoubtedly want the same consideration in return.

No way in hell the people behind them in line would let them switch people every day though... You'd have some angry, violent nerds if you try that.

:Q You could make a zillion dollars renting Porta-Potty's!!
And then buy a hundred PS3's and smash them! :laugh:
 
So sad.

I was looking at the demos at Wal-Mart today and it doesn't even look any better than the Xbox 360 anyways.

Why wait for several days when you could have just camped a few hours for a pre-order? Is this a competition for the biggest idiot?

Because most people didn't even know about the preorders until they were already gone. Or maybe they're looking to acquire as many PS3s as possible for the sake of ebaying them. Or maybe they were just SOL at their local gamestop and was "that guy" at the end of the line who just didn't get a preorder that morning.

Was that a real question or were you joking?
 
ok so the first guy is obsessed...but he knows what he wants and obviously has no life to be able to do it. But the guy in forth line....and the soon to be 10th....are idiots....there is NO gaurentee how many they are gonna get...Wouldnt it suck to wait 9 days and not get one?
 
OK I checked the forum again. After almost a week, they were all asked to leave yesterday! LMFAO! :laugh: Police came and scattered the ones who didn't want to leave.
