I want one (for Xena's Guy for Christmas), but not bad enough to stand in line at a Wal-Mart at midnight. Sheesh.
Connecticut is essentially a democrat state. That's what happens with tough gun grabbing laws.
I still have an XBox 360 on layaway and I'm getting it off in about a month. I was in no rush to get one when they first came out, mostly because they were, at the time, selling last generation games on new generation consoles. I saw no point in rushing to get the same quality gameplay I already had with my PS2.
These people standing in line for days are stupid. It's just a game console. This generation will be replaced by yet another generation of consoles in only a few years. They've probably already started development on them.
As to Sony, they are idiots for only selling 400,000 consoles on the U.S. launch date. They were promising far more. I'm glad I went with the Xbox 360.
Too bad nobody satnding in line was packing. The thugs might not have gotten away.
Great!
People cannot bother to go vote, but you can bet your a$$ they will turn out in droves in cold weather at the crack of dawn to buy a freaking GAME and risk life and limb to do it. Has the country gone STARK RAVING MAD?
I especially loathe going to Wal-Mart, where there are usually only 2 cashiers working despite having 12 checkout lines. And this is NO LIE. I was in a WM yesterday, looked down and there was a pile of poo on the floor at the checkout line. I assume it fell out of a baby's diaper, but nothing would surprise me. If someone will get into a fist fight or shoot people over a playstation, then dropping a load on the floor is NOTHING!
Ping.
The two alleged robbers reportedly tried to steal from the people on line, but when Michael Penkala, 21, of Webster Mass. confronted the robbers they shot him in the shoulder and ran away, police said.
If it had been a bunch of good ol' rednecks, the perps would have been taken away on stretchers.
Connecticut ping!
Thanks for the heads up, #1CTYankee.
