I was thinking about stopping by to put my name in the drawing tomorrow night after work (9:30 pm), since its right on my way home. I'm certainly not going to buy the system now, but hey, if I can maybe get one for free, I'd give that a shot, no matter what the odds. But if there is a ridiculous amount of people there already, I'm having second thoughts. Anyone going to check it out tomorrow night?

How are they doing the drawing for the free systems? Do you just drop your name in a box, or submit it through someone there? The less time spent there, the better.

And those of you looking to heckle, we should print out flyers that just have that one posting that Icarusfall made (about getting shanked, all for resistance) and pass it to everyone in line. Just tell them "important information about the playstation 3 launch."

I'm going tomorrow night after work with some friends. We're going to try and put our names into the drawing and check out the mayhem.

Sony and MS seem to think they have magical uber hardware and are charging 100 bazillion dollars for the same damn stuff our old Xbox can do. But with more lines of resolution. Wheeeee!!!!

Buy a HDTV or stfu.

For real. For someone so into audio fidelity you'd think Cheebs could appreciate HD a little more.

Even the die hard PS3 fans at 1up are saying you need an HD set for it. Games (Genji and RR 7 in particular) look like different games on a standard set.

I just came from the Best Buy in Westbury, and I couldn't fucking believe it. There is a line of tents leading from the door, down the front of the building, and around the corner. At least 20-25 tents so far. And according to some of the guys I spoke to on the line, more are coming. I'll post a few pics later.

After Best Buy I walked next door to Walmart, as the BB guys told me a line was formed there as well. Smaller line and no tents, as the front of the store had an alcove, so it was just a bunch of guys and girls sitting on chairs. Interesting scene there- the manager was out talking with the people on the line, telling them Walmart might not be getting ANY PS3s, and if that turned out to be the case, rain tickets would be issued. The homies on the line were pretty fucking pissed and telling the manager "Yo, man, dere best be some muthafuckin' PS3s up in this shit!"

HAHAHAHAHA. Did you see any Wii games?

No, because none come out until 2007.
