PS3 Store Lines

psxextreme · 11-10-2006, 11:38 PM

Well, people are lining up as early as 10 days prior to launch at Best Buy to get a hold of the PS3. Does your town have a line already? Pics of the line would be cool...post 'em here!

A much better option is a live feed provided via a hotspot where a PSX staff member is interviewing folks.

Whats required:

A webcam or better quality recording camera with microphone.
A willing PSX staff member that wants to cover the PS3 launch at a store that is selling them.
Two or three wi-fi extender antennas(best buy sells them) to send the signal from the store location to an available nearby hotspot.(Starbucks or other hotspot)

Two or three cars spaced a block apart to serve as power and relay points for the wi-fi anntenas and game interviews and launch interviews.

Some gigs on the PSX server to host the live feeds.

A banner ad on the wellcome page anouncing the availability of the wi-fi live feeds.

Hey, just an idea......................................

I think those people are losers.

I don't think poeple are lining up "10 days" before launch, that don't even make sense. Did you mean 10 hours?

psxextreme · 11-11-2006, 11:37 AM

Nope...10 days.

I easily second that emotion...

If you have 10 days to waste in a line, how are you affording one of these? Seems a sad commentary on the priorities of our society, that anyone would be willing to give up 10 days' time to something so silly as a video game console when there are so many other things they could be doing.

Steven Gaines · 11-11-2006, 08:52 PM

lol I think I misunderstood. Are poeple sleeping and living outside of stores for 10 days? No, ofcorse not. No one's that stupid, right. I'll have to see it to believe it.

Pretty much my thoughts. Either you probably can't afford it, someone's paying it for you, or somehow you're taking all of your yearly alloted vacation to wait for a console, as opposed to, you know, playing it.

Yeah, the vacation thing occurred to me, but I dismissed it. Can you imagine someone so dingy as to actually take all their vacation to wait in a line to buy a video game console?? I honestly can't imagine that anyone would do that. Or maybe it's just that I don't want to believe it could be real.
