Lemmings? Have ever used Playstation 3?

It's worth a smackdown. It's that good.

Well, not for nothing it was said that a fool and his money do not form a lasting relationship. Serves them right.

My Wife said the local WalMart here was letting them sleep in the gardening section of the store.

There's something wrong with those people.

"stampeding for playstation 3"

I wish the "stampeding" was toward churches to hear the word of God! God is watching us!

I love a good stampede

You buy one for $600 and they are selling on eBay for $2000. That's pretty good work if you can get it.

I thought about trying to get one to scalp on eBay. Didn't prove to be feasible.

Instant Gratification is responsible for about 30% of our economy, so dont knock it. I paid people to stand in line, and it was worth every penny. I am selling PS3s in Europe to people willing to pay much more than the going rate. Most of those rioting are not kids looking to play a new game, but paid line-sitters who get nothing if they come away empty handed.

When they put out a Grand Theft Auto that fully takes advantage of it, maybe.

I have a PS2 sitting here that has'nt been turned on in over a year, and a copy of GTA San Andreas I got maybe 15% into.

Just don't have much time for video games these days.

Dislocated jaw......ouch. Between this video and A Christmas Story, we're 0-2 in Man vs. Flagpole.

Stampede

And that is probably the only exercise they will get all winter.

[Southerngl]

What makes me sad is the number of people here in Atlanta that looked like gangsta thugs and I wonder how many of their families are on some sort of government assistance.
Yes, I am stereotyping.

[Fawn]

Who wants to bet me they file lawsuits against wallmart....

[LongElegantLegs]

Ah, materialism...

Pandemonium Clears Out The Copley Mall

Gamers who waited in line at the Copley Mall for the new PlayStation 3 were taken out of the mall after chaos broke out

 

A Wal-Mart in Palmdale was shut down Wednesday night after a fight broke out between people waiting in line for the new PlayStation 3.

 

 

Edgar Alcala, 18, who grabbed one of the first spots in line at San Francisco's Sony Metreon Mall on Wednesday morning, said he was looking forward to a warm, dry bed and a hefty profit.

"When I get home, I'm going to take a quick picture of it, slap it on eBay and go to sleep," Alcala said minutes before the store's doors opened at midnight Friday.

Pfft. Y'all are amateurs. Here in Richmond, we have our stampedes and riots for four-year-old clapped-out $50 iBooks.

From three years ago:

Ellzey says she and her sister Patti Vanlester shop at Walmart all the time. They know when a sale is on because the crowds are huge, which is why they got to the store at 3:30 a.m. this morning. They wanted to get the 6 a.m. specials. A DVD/VCR player for $29.87.

"It was gift for my mother. Someone got her a bunch of nice DVD's, she was really wanting one bad."

When the store finally opened, shoppers grabbed for the item. People started fighting for the DVD player and pushed Vanlester to the ground.
