People already waiting in line for the PS3

Still nine days to go before the approximately 400.000 Playstation 3 units hit the stores in America, but people are already forming lines in front of stores to claim one. While it’s not unusual to wait in front of a store for certain gamers, it raises questions like how do you pee without breaking the line?

Unfortunately the article over at Videogamesblogger doesn’t answer these kind of questions, but instead they’re just making funny remarks at those poor people: “Where is the line for the PS4?”. I myself think it’s kind of pathetic to wait in line nine days before the console hits the street. Most people have jobs or perhaps schools to attend to and can’t afford to spend their time on this. I’m also wondering how many of those people are on welfare and are going to sell their Playstation 3 on eBay to make some money over the backs of real gamers.

I still have a whole bunch of questions to ask those people in line though, how bad do you smell after 9 days, what do you do when your sleeping bag gets wet, do you brush your teeth, do you shit in an alley and so on. Submit your questions in the comments section if you have any!

” it raises questions like how do you pee without breaking the line?”

Obviously this guy has never camped out before. It behooves everyone in line to have an agreement of where your place in line is.

Yeah I was wondering about the whole toilet issue too. “I’m also wondering how many of those people are on welfare and are going to sell their Playstation 3 on eBay to make some money over the backs of real gamers.” Cynical our Rival?? :D

The Jerk thinks that you should go visit a line for a few hours before writing such a pathetic attempt at insulting true gamers. Sure some of them are trying to buy the system to sell for profit but even those resellers would NOT wait 9 days, 216 hours for a mere $1,000 net profit.
$5 an hour? Are you kidding me, they’d make more money going to work at KFC for those 9 days.

And toilet issues, breaks, etc, camping out isnt a fight unless theres a Jerk in line, like me, everyone is usually really civil and respected about your spot in line, the only pity should be for that 11th person in line when there are only 10 machines in stock.

I’d be a fool to try and cut 20 angry gamers who waited weeks for a system. Trust me these are not resellers.
