It sucks when you have to sit here. There's absolutely nothing to do! At least I get to use their wireless internet (since it's "unsecure") and typing away with my laptop. I'm first in line, and absolutely insane! I hope this pays off in the end. Though it does feel weird when there is NOBODY in line at all. God i'm bored.

--------------------------------------------------------
There is already a PS3 thread on this subject

Seeing how you have nothing to do, please look at that thread over the next day.

So you're outside right now? Camping out for 2.5 days? When does it go on sale?..this Friday? When a line starts forming, do thay pass out coupons or something to the first people in line? How does it work?

No kidding. How can someone want something that has so little value so badly that they are willing to throw 2.5 days of their lives away? Have you thought of opportunity cost?

Dude I really hope you get one for all your effort.

agreed. The line here in Alaska won't even start to form until maybe... late the night before? Some places didn't even have a line when the 360 came out; though they did sell out by mid-afternoon.

It helps to be in the middle of a cold snap, where our temps are running -10 F at night.

simple ... to resell em. if you can make 3K off of a $600 purchase, thats 2400 profit for 2.5 days of sitting on your ass. that's more than i make hourly so i can't complain.
