I think the best bet would be to start periodically checking the front of the store starting on the 14th. I personally don't want to be 1st, I would loove to be in top 5, but top 10 is also cool (I'm pretty sure circuit city and best buy are both getting more than 10 units! RIGHT?). So anyways, when you see the first people, go home, pack some stuff like water and lots of coffee, take a lawn chair, your PSP and go freeze your ass off.

Damn school. If it weren't for school I'd be able to start camping out on the 14th.

i've been doing alot of research and when the ps2 launch there were 500k units, and each best buy had around 80-100 on average. i also found someone talking about their best buy's owner says they are expecting an average of 60 consoles. if every store stocking ps3's had 60 consoles or close, that totals over 66,000 retailers having that many. dont be scared to be 30 guys back in line. any more than 50 and you are pushing your luck. it all depends on location really.
But they all do sort of the same thing, and that is rearrange what you thought was real, and they remind you of the beauty of very simple things. You forget, because youre so busy going from a to z, that theres 24 letters in between... You turn on... tune in... and you drop out...

Sony Misses PS3 Shipping Targets
Japan gets even fewer units.
by Anoop Gantayat
October 30, 2006 - What's worse than 100,000 units at launch? How about 80,000? The Nikkei Keizai Shimbun morning edition reports today that due to component shortages, Sony will have only 80,000 units ready for the PS3's 11/11 Japanese launch. This cuts back by a fifth the initial launch target of 100,000.
The lack of digits in that number is even more staggering when you consider that the PS2 sold out of nearly a million units when it launched back in March of 2000.
Having lived through a few weeks of attempting to obtain a PS3 pre-order, we're not too surprised by the lowered shipping numbers. Allocations disappeared quickly at online retailers that were brave enough to start pre-order programs. The online arm of media retailer Tsutaya ran out of units in 6 minutes according to Nikkei (it felt more like 1 minute to us).
Major electronics chains like Yodobashi Camera won't be taking pre-orders, Nikkei reports, so there's only one option left: line up the day before launch. Although with fewer units to go around, we're considering getting in line starting from the week prior.

man I hope that it does mean we will get less consoles because people who pre-ordered will be pissed so if they go 80,000 just think if we get 400,000 lol that would suck even more !

@face- i really want to be one of the first ppl so i don't think that 15hrs is that bad, especially considering i live very close to toronto. however, i'm going to ask my sis to periodically check and if no 1 is there, then i guess i have more time to sleep before getting into line.

lmfao there gone be a fight ! .. round one FIIIIIIIIIIGHT!! lol like dude be sayin in mortal kombat . I have 24 hour Target but not near me I think most peoples best changes are Best Buy from what I read they will have the most either more than or about the same as Eb.gamestop had . But if you have a small city walmart and Target might be a good chance but they wont have more then Best Buy but.. Best buy is gone be packed like hell . I also was thinkin about goin to target or a low key store, even though they might not have as much

Dialup is still the shit. Who wouldn't want to ride vintage? It takes me only 40 minutes to download a song! And everytime I connect, my computer makes weird noises...
