Default Anyone get one? ? ?

Just wondering if anyone braved the many hours or days in a line in front of a store, just to get their hands on a Playstation 3 or Nintendo Wii? . . .

I checked out and played the PS3 at the Sony Metreon in S.F., nice but not yet impressed with the current game line-up. I myself am going to wait until late spring or ealry summer to get both, plus not worry about getting "jacked" like some people who were waiting in lines for one have had happened to them.

Have ya heard the funny and messed up stories???

Okay, heres my story...

There were over 500 people in line at a best buy by my house ( I wasn't there) and an employee came out and said there were only 25 PS3's left. The 26th person in line was a 10-year old kid and he started to break down and cry because he waited 3 days to get one. But, some good samaritan stepped back and let this kid get his PS3.

Doesn't it make you feel all warm and fuzzy inside? lol

Apparently they have had to close down lots of Wallie Worlds across the nation cause kids were fightin over them, which if you ask me, I'd rather get the 360. The best buy by me had a 360 and a PS3 right next to each other hooked up to hi-def screens and I couldn't really tell the differece at all. Sooo.... I'm not gonna pay $200 more for a system (even though has free online) that has nearly identical graphics. Just my word in on this, and oh yeah, I did hear about that guy that got stabbed, lol, what a loser. And, this is my personal opinion, but if you're camping outside of a best buy/wal-mart for five days to get a gaming system for $600, you a kid who (is probally fat) has no life, and has uber rich parents. I just don't think its not worth it . I'm gonna save up for a 360 anyway, online is way better i think........ Hope none of you guys who camped get offended by this, but I've probally got nothing to worry about, after all, you probally get pounded enough by your kids at school for your over-sized glasses and Urcle looking suspenders . Sorry, i've rambled on long enough......

i dont see the rush in getting a ps3 right now...
its just a waste of money. wait 6 months and the price will go down.

yeah i saw that $10million go for 10k. its insane how much people ACTUALLY think they can get for these. i know that one dont have any bets on it but i dont think any 1 will bet on it. at a starting price of 9,999,999,999 aint nobody gonna buy it.
