PS3 Camp Outs...

[imbosile]

Anyone here going to try and get a PS3 by camping out? Best Buy and Circuit City don't do pre-orders so it's fair game. You guys think going there by Wednesday afternoon will be early enough?

[ironchef]

I'm willing to sacrifice a day or two of boredom to make 7 or 800 dollars.

If I can hold a spot then sure, I'm trying to find someone I can pay 50 bucks to camp with me so they can buy me a second one.

i dont think most ppl care about defects, considering they are just gonna flip it on ebay

I am in, as you know imbosile. After all I am in charge of driving. BTW: Wanna do North Point I don't like the idea of being near Gwinnett Place. I live in Norcross, but I don't even like driving there.

[ShooterMcGavin]

i nominate the BB on cobb pkwy :yes: :D

[nyce1]

I know a few friends that camp put every time these games come out. I am not sure if I will do it or not.

[bdydrpdmazda]

I would do it if i were in the states.

[Kyle]

Nice, sorry to here. Hope all is well in Iraq.

Man you're only hoping to make 800 bucks? They're supposed to start at $600 and like 7-800 for the ones w/extras like hard drive etc. Thats just what I hear.

Nah, I'm almost 100% positive the Premium is going to be 599.99, then the lower model will be 499.99. Could be wrong but I'm pretty sure. The going rate on eBay is 1,500. So this has potential of being great for a college student who wants money.

[greasemunkey]

damn...smart idea, i remember seein the 360 sell all day on ebay for 1,000 bucks or more, that is ridiculous- buy me one ;)

[Jtultra]

presales are already on ebay for $1500-$2000, my room mate works at EB games and he said that the US will get about 200,000 units. I'm camping out at the walmart on Barrett. I'll be inside the whole time and it'll release at 12:01 AM

How do you go about camping out inside, and also say I get to BestBuy one Wednesday afternoon, will they have a line setup outside to get into, or do you have to say, I'm here for the PS3?

[Jtultra]

I don't know, this is the first time I've camped out. But I've been going around asking reps and other people who's done so. Wal-mart is open 24 hours, So I'm just assuming that there will be a line in the elctronics department. I plan on being the 1st one there.
