Gamers Already Camping Out For PlayStation 3 (http://www.dailytech.com/article.aspx?newsid=4902)
Well, at least the weather's nice in Burbank
Several dedicated, or perhaps insane, people hoping to score a PlayStation 3
at launch have started to camp outside a Burbank, California, Best Buy
location nearly two weeks before the system's launch date.
A poster on the Cheap Gamer forums (https://mystic.akibia.com/forums/,DanaInfo=www.cheapassgamer.com+showthread.php?t=1 14295) who spotted the small crowd outside
reports, "I saw about 7 people waiting outside. I went inside and one of the
workers told me that they had been there since Monday."
He continued, "The awesome thing was, as I was waiting outside, I saw a
bunch of people coming to Best Buy and picking up Gears of War. A few
people made some funny remarks. One guy is like, 'I hope you guys brought
enough food!' Another one said, 'Where is the line for PS4? Is it on the other
side?'"
Flickr member Shogmaster also snapped pictures (https://mystic.akibia.com/photos/shogmaster/sets/72157594366374545/,DanaInfo=www.flickr.com+) of the forming line.
According to one of the captions from the photos, the man who is first in line
"took rest of his vacation days of this year from work to engage in this
incredulous endeavor."
While the people at the Burbank Best Buy must wait another eight days,
Japanese gamers today get their first taste of PlayStation 3. Stay tuned for
coverage of Sony's Japanese launch.
