And camping is no different from going out on a holiday with a tent. Look at some camping pics or head down your local ToysRus now and see it for yourself.

Umm, dude there is a difference between going out in the woods for a couple of days, and sitting in a parking lot for a week.

And all that stuff about guiness records is just retarded. It is NOT understandable. The only justifiable reason to be doing that is if your terminally ill kid requested one as his last wish.

BTW did you hear about the guys who plan to buy one, and then smash it in front of all the fanbois waiting in line? That will be so awesome!

Well that's just your opinion. I have an easier time understanding the analogy, because I know I wouldn't have hesitated to have joined them now, because its not crazy, its perfectly normal (if you're not sacrifising your job and wife, those 2 make an exception).

And now you think smashing a 600$ machine that's everyone's been waiting for so long is awesome? Krool, we get your point. We know you hate Sony, and the playstation, and even the people who play it.

LMAO.. i bet u said that just for the sake of argument.. :P how on earth did u arrive on that conclusion? KK is just against the 'human behaviour' being exhibited which he kinda equates to lunacy. :rofl:

1. The guy who will be smashing it, will be selling the video and making money out of it.

2. Please, please tell me that you find it funny. C'mon, just think of the reaction! Why? Because in a normal world no one should react at all, except maybe quizically. Who gives if some guy smashes a PS3? It's his 600 bucks. But I can bet that some people will be pissed. Want to bet Sony tries to get the video pulled once it is up?
 
I think that would be quite funny :P

BTW, KK, what would you be willing to stand in line for? To save money and get a cheap car? Why? Its just money dude! You could earn it back in a few months (or years). But apparently, according to param, you can't get a ps3 if you lose this chance :P

If I was going to be in that line, i'd be on the verge of doing the work for him, but it would his head and the Ps3. I wouldn't have been bothered if the Ps3 would not have been coming with a serious shortage, but that's one buyer who will be going home with nothing just for the sake others amusement. Put short, those who want the Ps3, will not find it entertaining at all.

I see, he goes home with nothing for others amusement.

As opposed to his going home with a PS3 for just his own personal amusement?

When you put it that way (and let us be clear - YOU put it that way), then it is obvious that this is the most unselfish, altruistic soul on the face of the planet.
 
Oh I see, so to serve mankind better, we all start amusing others by smashing our Ps3's right? If we get the Ps3 for ourselves, we're selfish...

Its kinda' amazing you're justifying that waste of money, as opposed to those who are waiting a week earlier just to get their hands on one. Please, keep this up, its rather amusing as well.
 
I never said that buying a PS3 was selfish did I?

But you claimed that his actions were (or at any rate implied that you would whack his head). Which shows your bigotry. If he chooses to entertain himself with the PS3 by breaking it rather than playing with it, that is his business.

As for amusing, yes you numbskull, why do you think I am posting here? For amusement obviously. Ever heard of leisure? Oh sorry, you are a serious gamer. I am here solely to have fun. Go ahead. Pick holes in that argument.

In that case, the only video people get to see would be that of PS3 fanbois butchering the guy who smashed a brand new PS3 before their eyes or the guy getting arrested by police if he is lucky enough. I once read somewhere that a guy in US was punished for deliberately shooting at his own Computer with a pistol. Seems like any deliberate act of violence even againist a lifeless object is an offense in US.
 
God damn PS3 Haters, and PS3 fanbois...

Cut it out.. I have no clue why yall are even fighting over this..

Every1's acting Immature and impractical :|...

Let those 10 people, camp outside Best buy, WHAT DIFFERENCE DOES IT MAKE TO YOU?....

None whatsoever. I just want them to be struck by meteorites/hailstones. That is all. For my own amusement.

I guess I will have to stop now, anything more will be spam.
 
Hey KK! You didn't answer my question :no: I thought it would be rather amusing to argue with you over a point we both don't care about :P
 
Still waiting for KK :P

Heres what I think. While I don't care about consoles, I can understand (somewhat) those guys waiting in line. Provided that a) They are not planted by sony or other rich gamers, and b) they are really interested in the ps3, and not just cause its the most hyped product of all.

If some of them will be selling it on ebay for 5000$, I can understand that too( who wouldn't like to earn $4.5K in one week?) , but somehow, in the back of my mind, I feel its wrong. Basically, it is playing with people's emotions. Now, who do you think is the guilty party? The guy who takes advantage of people's passions, or the poor sods who don't have a life and crave intensely for a TV game? Well I guess sony is also to blame here, for its massive promotions and generating hype. But then, that's just business for them.

And to those who think such things don't happen in our country, you're sadly mistaken :no: You must have missed to news about the police lathi charge at Big Bazaar, due to the uncontrollable crowd when they had some special offer going on. And these are entire families and housewives I'm talking about. Ok they didnt wait for a week, but they did start the line hours and hours before the store opened. And they had no discipline once it did open. At least those gamers are maintaning order.
And you forgot the serpentine queues outside temples? What are those for?

More rants to follow :P
BTW, what would I wait a week in for for? Ummm.......maybe front row tickets for a floyd+DMB+Springsteen+Corrs concert :D
 
OK Zhops here you go:

It is nice that you increased the amount I would get from 19990 (as I said) to 199900 (you said). I need that kind of cash. My kids are probably gonna want a PS<add version number here> and I bet that is how much it will cost.

Now do you understand why I need to wait in line for a car?

I don't have a problem with people waiting in line, but a bloody week is too much.

I am in luck - the Leonid meteor showers are between 13 and 20th Nov - they are at their peak on the 17th. Almost as if they knew.........
 
Whatever makes them happy, Krool... you should let it go you know - nothing you say is going to change anything :) For general ranting, start a new thread cause there are more things to rant about than crazy PS3 fans :D
 
Naa....this is more fun :D And KK, I didn't say 199900, it was some other guy. :P BTW, I'm shocked to hear you'll be getting a PS for your kids :O Would you be waiting in line to get one? ;)
