- offEND, on 10/12/2007, -2/+3It looks like the nifty thing about this site is that anyone is able to post to it via email from their phone. I haven't tried it yet but that certainly seems interesting...
- kingfoot, on 10/12/2007, -1/+14wait. people are ALREADY waiting in line? its just less than a week until release!!! I would have figured about wed. they would start. (then again Im only 16 and never camped out for anything before.)
- Anth, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Actually, Kotaku is reporting that the guys waiting in line in front of that BB in burbank, CA got removed by the police. They now have a sign posted that says you can only form a line the day before the launch. So I expect lots of people in line at 12:01AM 11/16 (the earliest time that follows their rules).
- rochar7, on 10/12/2007, -3/+1this idea is really cool i will be looking forward to seeing where the best camping spot is any good ones yet?

Scout FTW! - justice7, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1camp with the Knife
its the only way to pwn with humility.
- last2befirst, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1Sounds cool dude, mabye ill look further into the new consoles.
- cdf12345, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2for people that are able to snag some open wifi or have a smartphone, this should be pretty fun. it'll be nice to have updates as well, especially if you have people monitoring your progress from their comfy couches.
- Arkwin, on 10/12/2007, -4/+1I know where I'm waiting to get my PS3!
::insert secret location here:: - terrya64, on 10/12/2007, -5/+8Who besides Eric Cartman has such a pitiful life, that they would camp for a video game?
- ohgr, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5I have camped out once for the release of Doom 3. That's about it though. Even I realized it's better to be patient.
- timmay, on 10/12/2007, -1/+7umm its not a video game its a console. Duh!
- swOhio, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2With pre-order systems selling on ebay for over $2500, giving up 15-24 hours of your life for a 2 grand profit doesn't seem crazy.
- ohgr, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5I have camped out once for the release of Doom 3. That's about it though. Even I realized it's better to be patient.
- CaseyUCF, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4they should just freeze themselves. derrr
- rebrane, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3The best place to camp is in Australia where it's spring.
- crammaz, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3Except for the fact that the PS3 won't come out until march 2007 in Australia.... That's about a four month wait!! :P
Sorry dude.....

- macbookpromat, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2Camping for a PS3 is useless! Not because of the console itself, but the fact that all of the PS3's are pretty much sold already.
- b1rd, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5Yea, but then you have a good chance of kicking someone's ass and stealing theirs as they leave the store with it.
- mywhitenoise, on 10/12/2007, -3/+3"Yea, but then you have a good chance of kicking someone's ass and stealing theirs as they leave the store with it."
***** you, *****. You're the reason i'm bringing a weapon with me. - macbookpromat, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Hahahahaha!
This reminds me of that kid who had his Xbox 360 stolen on launch! So mywhitenoise, I suggest you do as you said, bring a weapon.
Once you safely get home sell the thing on Ebay, make loads of cash, and laugh your ass off! - cdf12345, on 10/12/2007, -2/+1It's a ***** joke you douchebag.
- eNiX, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0not all the PS3's are sold... Walmart didn't do pre-orders or at least none around a 50 mile radius of me, and my sisters friend that works at walmart say each store will only have about 20-30 PS3's so that's where I'm going to camp...Walmart ^_^ hope 24hrs before release is enough, will be my first camp attempt :P
- slack31337, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3"I am checking logs and I have noticed that over 70% of users are coming to the first page and then LEAVING! The front page will have all the content, but the site is a lot more fun and will be of a lot use if you read the how to page"
way to go yell at your visitors. I looked at that then looked and the random photo and left..
FIGHT THE POWER!!!!!! take my single page hit and shove it up your ass!!! HA HA I showed you....fukey - sparkmonkeyz, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1haha, and that is why i got my copy reserved, and i get it first day, as long as 7 of the 15 systems they are getting come in, seeing that i am 7th on the pre-orders list.
- squirrelza, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Can someone name something more geeky?
Btw: What's the point of camping so early? Surely you have to leave now and then anyways? People are just going to move your chair if you aren't there
