if there's more than 30 people standing in the front of thel line the chances of atleast 30 of them getting a ps3 are slim. unless they do a lottery/raffle type of thing. but most places are first come first serve. i watched the lines pile up for the xbox360's launch.....and alot of people that waited there for 2 days, prior to the launch, went home empty handed.

i'd stand in line just to buy one and flip it,but i got bills to pay and money to earn. i'll do it next time for the XBox720 or the PS4.......

if any of you stood and waited in line, let us know how it went.

^^i think a profit of $1000 to camp out a night is definately worth it. I was gonna do that with a few people. but if ya'll are saying people waited for 2 days and got nothing then fuck that. but i agree, if people are just waiting to buy it for themselves i dont see how camping is worth it.

I'd wait in line for a few hours for a 100% profit, if you figure that people are selling these things for about $1200 right now. Well, thats the going rate on Craigslist, at least.


But not overnight or for a couple nights...maybe if I didn't have a job...

TOKYO - Sony's new PlayStation 3 can't play some of the games designed for previous generations of the popular console, the latest misstep for the stumbling electronics company as it faces off in a crucial, three-way war with Nintendo and Microsoft.

Sony Corp (NYSE:SNE - news)., which has fallen behind in key products like flat-panel TVs and digital music players, badly needs a best-seller in the PS3. The console went on sale here to hoards of eager fans over the weekend, ahead of its U.S. release on Friday.

On Tuesday, the company acknowledged the console won't run some of the 8,000 titles designed for previous PlayStations — even though the PlayStation 3 was billed as being fully compatible with older-generation games.

For instance, the PS3 might not play background music to the popular "Tekken 5" combat game, and some scenes from the "Gran Tourismo" racing game might freeze, according to Sony. The game "Suikoden III" can't read data from a first-generation PlayStation, while a virtual gun in one of the "Biohazard" games won't fire properly.

Some older games won't run on the PS3 at all, according to Sony Computer Entertainment spokesman Satoshi Fukuoka. Online upgrades of the PS3 software will be offered, but it's unlikely that all the problems will ever get fixed, he said.
