Anybody camping for a PS3?

[AlanS17]

I've got Fry's, Bext Buy, and Circuit City all within 1 mile of each other along the side of the highway near where I live. I can jump around to find the best spot. Plus there's a Target right there, too.

That particular Best Buy isn't going to have a midnight release, though. There's another one that'll have a midnight release, but that's farther down the road. That's where I'll start.

I would go jump in line today if I had someone to join so to keep me from bored out of my mind. I'm unemployed. It's not like i've got anything better to do. (And before you bring it up, I'm not the one actually paying for the PS3.)

Ok, I'm officially ticked off... 

The lines all over town are already filling to the point where if I don't get in line tonight then I wont get a PS3 at all. That's stupid. I have a date tonight, and I really don't want to cancel on her.

I drove around a little during my lunch break, and I noticed lines at Best Buy and Circuit City. My wife also called me and noticed a really long line at another Best Buy.

I hope this helps, but I called Sears and Kmart. They told me they are expecting PS3's, but not sure if they will arive by Friday. The customer service rep I spoke to, told me to call the actual store on Thursday.

I live in the california bay area, so as far as Kmart, I don't think we have anymore around here. I am going to call my local Sears tomorrow.

PS3's will be on sale tomorrow @ 8:00 am Pacific on costco's website.  Worth a shot if you don't want to wait in line.

I just swung by my local best buy and there are at least 50 people in line.  I have a feeling there will be a lot of disappointed people in that line sicne I doubt they'll have that many ps3's.  There was only maybe a dozen people at target though.

How about reports of 1,000 people in line at The Sony Metreon center in San Francisco?

I'm debating on checking out Sams club now and if theres no line, maybe get there around 4 am and see whats going on.  I have a business membership there, so I can get in when they first open.  Work has been extremely slow this week, so making a quick $500 or so on a PS3 would be a nice little bonus.

Good luck, man.    Luckily, I pre-ordered from GS so I'll be picking it up tomorrow morning.

I just walked by during lunch... though it did look similar to a very well organized refugee camp... 1,000 seems a little exaggerated. The line did cross a street though, heh.

edit: and it's drizzling a bit today. What fun that must be.

[AtomSmasher]

I just stopped by Sams Club and there were only 2 people camping out, but then I noticed a sign that said they will only be getting 2 ps3's at that store tommorrow.  Oh well, no big deal.  It was just a spur of the moment thought anyways.

My sister works at Target and supposedly their policy is that you may not camp out until midnight tonight...  Not sure if that's just this target or not though.

I called the Target near me at about 11:00 yesterday (Wednesday) morning and they already had a fairly long line.

I just got one from the midnight launch at Best Buy here in Dallas. I started a new thread for it. There were 132 units available (way more than expected) but people were still turned away at the end. I was 74th in line and I got there on Wednesday @ 6pm.
