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.

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.

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?
