How to camp for a PS3?

RickTheRipper · 09-28-2006

Well, I just want to know how to camp for my PS3. Do I get as close to front door as possible or do I stand back a little or what the fizzuck do I do? Will there be a sign that says "PS3 Line Here" or will it all depend on where the first camper decides to sit. When they open the doors will they just tell everyone to run as fast as they can and have people get trampled or will they have a single file line going? I MUST KNOW NOW!

Why would someone camp infront of a store to buy a game system to begin with? If someone is that desperate to get a game system, they REALLY need a woman/man (depending on gender and orientation of course).

You're best bet is to just go to the store whenever suits you and see if they have any. If not, just wait and practice the long lost art of patience.

the line seems like a good place to go if you're broke, everyone will have at least 400-600 dollars on them. Seems like easy pickens(lol)

The day I want a woman is the day I'll go get one. Why waste my hard earned cash on some ditzy ho anyway when I still live at home and blah blah blah.

Maybe I should have put something like "Helpful Posts Only Please, THANK YOU!"

If you really want to waste your time waiting for another money-wasting system, go right ahead.

If you haven't noticed, there really is no nerd out there that wants to expose themselves and tell you how to camp. Set up a tent somewhere (anywhere, I could care less) then try to survive in the wild. Camping for a video-game system is just idiotic.

Go ahead and make fun of me, I hope it raises your self esteem just enough to make you feel like you amount to more than a pimple on the left @ss cheek of a baboon. Now, good day to you all.

I'd say that there would be a sign to start a line for it just because it's a new console being released..(high anticipation)

But then it also depends on your area..highly populated? If there are tons of people then I'd suggest getting there early..like the night before or something. Otherwise just go in the early morning.

And I'm sure since any Gamestop/EB is small that they'd have a line..because rushing inside would do nothing besides trying to get closer to the front of the line, because they keep all the systems behind the counter.

My area isn't too populated, it's a city, but it's got the population of a medium/big town. So I probably won't have to camp until the 16th; I just wish that my WalMart was still open 24 hours a day though....

And before I forget, thankyou for the info. You just earned yourself an internet high five.

I like internet high fives, so ill throw my two cents in.

I would call the store and ask them how they do it. I would just make a line out of the building, like 10 feet to the left of the door. Not to mention, there will most likely be someone that will beat youl, so just sit behind them.

Make sure you have your equipment though. A sleeping bag, blanket, some food and drinks. And a MUST is a friend or two. You will have to use the restroom sometime and you don't want someone to take your spot. I would also bring your credit card instead of money, that way, your not carrying that much money with you. Most credit card companies won't charge you if someone steals it and buys things. Money, well once its gone, its gone.

I have stayed out all night once, yes, I am a NERD!
