call your local stores and ask them what time they are launching, not sure if anyone is from that area or not. if it is a midnight launch and you plan on lining up on the 16th at 7pm, i think your too late. on the otherhand 7pm for a store opening at 8am or 10am isn't really too bad. its a gamble no matter what and really no right answer. i say that because there have already been people lining up RIGHT NOW or even LAST WEEK. good luck!

i wouldnt take any chances.
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...

I'm depressed. My brother in Fargo checked Best Buy just a little while ago and said there was 10 "huge tents" already lined up. So if he says huge, I'm guessing at least 2 people per tent, 3 to be safe. So that means at least 30 people are already lined up. It's 6:00 on monday. I can't get there till 4:00 on wednesday. Do I even stand a chance of getting one? My dreams are slipping away...

They "said" to have a million by the end of the year. But the line race has already started. This is exciting.

i herd a certain store in NYC has no less than 100 ps3s for sale and... this is so fucking crazy.... 100 to GIVE away! this is not a joke, i am being 100% serious.
i also herd of certain stores having "no camping" polocies, they put up signs that say if you camp you will be arested for trespassing. you can only start getting in line the day of the opening. i am part of a three man team for gathering ps3s, so i may have 2 to sell. ill post on these forums before they get put on ebay.
and as far as people being pissed off that so few are being released... there is a BIG reason for that. suposes they have horrible bugs or glitches? its the very first gen, the very first gen of any system usualy has some pretty big bugs. if they made loads of them then they would have to recal all of them and eat so much money. the first gen is like a test almost.

At the Circuit City in Union Sq NYC, there's ALREADY tents set up and people sitting in chairs, I'd say there's 6-10 people there already. The midnight launch places will be swamped.

So here is an update on my situation. My brother (in Fargo) is going to set up a tent tomorrow (tuesday) anywhere from 12-6. He will then camp there through the night, but leave at 5 AM (he has to finish a lab for class). Hopefully nobody will kick him out (he's leaving his tent set up in the line). He'll be back anywhere from 12-1 that day (wednesday). I'll then get out of school, drive to fargo, and ...budge...and camp with him by 4PM. Again, hopefully people are nice/don't notice and let me camp with him. If all hell breaks loose and things get crazy I'll just tell everyone we're getting one. Two would be nice, but one will do if that's all I can get. Then my brother has to leave to do another chem/bio lab for school at around 6PM or something on thursday. He'll be back after a few hours. I'm hoping that we can use the excuse that he was getting food/going to the bathroom/checking on family/something like that, so that he can come right back in line with me (and we can get two). Who knows, maybe nobody will notice. More realistically though, they will and hopefully they buy the excuse. What do you guys think?

what date and time are most of you guys planning on camping out? Do you guys think I have a good chance if I camp out early morning on thursday 11/16 at around 5-6am? New york here.

before any of you guys camp please take this advice and CALL the store you plan on camping at. i may actually spend a night in the cold at Target, but the reason why i am saying this is....
i called target today and their policy states that NO ONE is allowed to camp outside the store during their business hours. here they close at 10pm, so basically you can camp anytime after 10pm on the 16th. the manager would not disclose how many units they were receiving, but he did say at 7am on the 17th, he will had out tickets to the first whatever number of people. those with a ticket, get a ps3 and those who don't go home empty handed. it doesn't hurt to call and ask, as i am sure some would be a bit pee'd if after camping for a few hours or a day they were told to comeback on thursday...

yeah good idea. tomorrow is tuesday, one day before i want to head out, so i will call then to a few places.
and no my account was not hijacked, im just a little po'ed at sony for possible shafting my chances at the console. if people are already waiting in places is tomorrow too late? geez this is rediculous.
