PS3 Making Crazies Even Crazier
There’s a shocker. Yes, ladies and gentlemen, bastards and bitches, ‘tis the season to be stupid and indeed, your fellow human beings are rising to the occasion. Like nobody’s business.
Lines and lines of eBay campers and fanboys aside, there was a nine-months-pregnant woman in line outside a Circuit City in New Jersey who refused to leave the line even though she was having freaking contractions. Who needs a precious newborn human life when you’ve got a chance at a PlayStation 3? Some jackanape in Wisconsin ran head-first into a large pole after racing 50 others for a handful of spots outside a local Wal-Mart, and a dentist in Ohio hired 60 temp workers to stand in line at four local stores. Yeah.
Meanwhile, two masked gunmen robbed a GameStop in Elk Grove, California and made off with four PS3s. God, I wish one of them were my daddy. Engadget has a working list of some of the other insanities brewed up by this mishegas, including but not limited to: shots fired at a Texas Wally; more armed and masked robbers in Springfield, Oregon; and brawls and/or riots in California, New York, and Wisconsin.
Then, of course, there’s that PS3 that sold for $45,000 on eBay.
Protect yourselves, gamers. Don’t act like meatheads. And for the love of Mario, just go buy a Wii instead.

My Wii is on its way, thank God.
But good lord don’t these stories make me sad.
Wasn’t it Einstein who said that human stupidity knows no limits? :-(
thank god i’m half a planet away… and have no desire for a PS3
Man, now I’m a little worried what kind of idiocy I’ll have to deal with when I pick up my Wii on Sunday. The madness surrounding it seems much less, but let’s just say I’m glad I have a brown belt in karate.
Told you all Sony was evil.

:-9 T3h s3xx3h!!!
You know what? The jokes on them when/if they get one of the PS3s that happens to be malfunctioning. Oh the look on their faces when they phone Sony and they tell them they are screwed. XD
As for over here in NYC..it seems all quiet on the Wii front. We’re still going early on Sunday, but I don’t expect to be shot or have a baby there.
Oh the malfunctions are coming. I can’t wait until someone who paid $5000 realizes it freezes up or locks up. Oh the Merry Christmas they’ll have trying to get Sony to respond cause Gamestop doesn’t care if you didn’t buy it directly. LOSERS!
oh, god, the maniacs are going to go wild, they shoot people, they nearly kill their babies, and all for a peace of junk…XD way to go sony
all i gotta say is….ew?!
It’s really sad that people get so worked up about the PS3. I mean is it really worth all that?
Thankfully things here in Columbus have been a bit more civilized. Last night I went to two lines, took pictures and asked questions. Biggest losers were a pair of kids who left their tent to go to school and came back to find it moved to the back of the line. I should put all of it up somewhere.
ahi si esos juegos hacen visioso si!!!!
soy gey
there if those games make visioso if! I am gey, and gustaria to buy to me to me (consolador)
My favorite was the guys who followed someone whom they thought was a PS3 buyer from one midnight opening to another, and broke into his car hoping to find a PS3.
Makes me wonder what would have happened if he’d actually bought a PS3 and gone home instead.
