haha, those photos were taken about 10 minutes west of my house.

I'll give you $100 if you drive by there and egg his ass.

I'll throw in another $100, but you have to tape it and post the video.

At a CA minimum wage of $7/hour ( I think), that equals= $1512

That's probably more than what you can get from ebaying it.

Eben if you worked say, 12 hours a day, that's still ~$750 at minimum wage.

...and the fact that the job is guaranteed money since you get a paycheck. These guys that plan on lining up to get one only have a chance at getting one since Sony reduced the number of units they'll have available at launch.

I am pretty sure that the Best Buy will have at least a few PS3s, and I assume that they have already asked the workers how many they expect to be shipped.

Basically, I say their chance is pretty close to 100%

haahahahahhhahaahah i already mine on preorder!

 

[Killerme33]

Maybe I'm missing something...but these guys are here 24hours a day...for 9 more days? They eat/sleep/crap there? Don't they have jobs and/or school?

Preorders won't be filled due to lower supply than originally intended.

So.............GET IN THE BEST BUY LINE MISTER!!

 

[oztrailrider]

I can't believe people are willing to do that for a PS3, they must be damn keen.

 

[yhelothar]

links doesn't work?

 

[Czar]

I hope it rains

 

[Fingolfin269]

I guess in the socialist state of CA you can sit in line for two weeks as your job and the government will take care of you.

(Someone had to go there)

Yep. That is definitely the face of a loser.

 

[ballmode]

WWWWIIII!!!

 

[j00fek]

loosers unite!

 

[Mayfriday0529]

I hope this doesn't happen at the store i'm thinking off because I wanted to start on Wednesday night.

 

[jtvang125]

Why dont they try what Cartman did when he was waiting for the Wii. When they wake up in 9 days it'll feel like it was instantaneous.

 

[Otaking]

:Q

OMG I better get in line now!

....not

 

[FoBoT]

so, how do they know they are the *official* line? what if somebody starts another line on the other side of the store?

do they register their line with the store manager? do the stores like having them outside? i think i'd call the cops on them for tresspassing or loitering

 

[Vette73]

What I hope for is the manger does like the wal-mart that almost started a riot.

The manager will come out 1hour before open that day and say..." OK to make it fair we will do a lottery system so grab a number..."

All the first people don;t get chosen and cry...

That would be great. Teach those losers a lesson.

Since when can you work 24 hours a day?

Say it's 9 days, -2 for the weekend, that's 7 days*8 hours a day*$7 = $552

 

[Slew Foot]

I work 24 hour shifts all the time. I get about $3k for doing it too

 

[shortylickens]

WHYYY!?!?!??

Why not go out and read a book under a tree?

Why not go to college and become a little more enlightened and see why your life doesnt have to (and probably shouldnt) revolve around video games?

Why not go out and find a nice girl and make a relationship and make love and enjoy some poon for once in your life?

Why not work overtime for all those days and be able to afford a butt-load of games when the thing finally does come out?

WHY NOT PREORDER FOR HOME DELIVERY AND MAKE THE FedEx GUY DO ALL THE WORK FOR YOU?

Oh that was awesome!
People crying and screaming. It would be worth the money just to see that.
EVEN BETTER! Nerd Fights!
Pick two or three of the most sorry looking bastards you can find and make them punch it out for the prize.
I promise hundreds would volunteer.
