I get about $60 off of PS3 at a local Walmart. I'm totally willing to wait in line for half the day for it. Anybody else insane enough to do the same?

If Metal Gear Solid 4 was in the launch lineup, you'd better fucking believe I'd camp out. But as of now, there really aren't any PS3 games I'm interested in. Plus I'll probably end up spending over $500 on Wii games the first week. I'm a big impulse buyer.

I figure that will buy me the Wii (I'd hope so...), Zelda, another controller/nunchuck, classic controller, and possibly another game with the discount I'll be getting and some extra money on my part. I'll probably just get a Wii Points card instead. Yeah, the PS3 launch isn't too great. I'm probably getting Sonic and maybe Tiger Woods. I haven't heard a lot of good things about Sonic, though, so I'm worried.

They really need to delay it another six months or even a year and work on the camera and controls. If this one's a lemon, Sonic's finished, in 3D, anyway. I was really looking forward to this, too, as I really enjoyed the original Sonic Adventure, and this game seems like a real sequel to it.

I don't have ANY money, and it's tooo fucking cold to camp out. I might do it, for the sheer fact of actually seeing a PS3, not purchasing one.

PS3 doesn't seem worth it

I have no idea why so many people are in such a frenzy to get a PS3 on launch day. Fuck, I wouldn't get a Wii on launch day if it weren't for Twilight Princess.

Wow. What a shitload of fuck. If I weren't so paranoid about not being able to get a PS3 until God knows when, I'd skip in a heartbeat.

Well that was a complete waste of time. Walmart tells me that they gave out tickets at noon - previously they told me 11PM that night. Classy. I get screwed out of that. I spend a good 7 hours going around every town within a 40 minute drive, checking out less obvious places like Meijer and Sears, but I'm SOL. As my last hope, I go to a late night ticket drawing at Kmart only to hear assholes talking about how much dough they're going to make off of it. They had 2 60GB systems and made you buy 2 games in order to win one. I lost, even with my mother and my friend being there. It was obvious that people brought their familes to increase their chances of winning.
Horrible launch experience, but it was a ton of fun. I will not make the same mistake with my precious Wii.
