  My PS3 Preorder Story

  Well lets see here. I went to the store @ 845PM and preordered
  Resistance Fall of Man. After talking to the guy there and confirming
  preorders were going on tomorrow, and asking him how many people called
  and know about this (he said a lot of people called) I sat in my car
  and waited. I wasn't planning on waiting all night, but I didn't know
  how serious people were about this so I stayed till 1145PM. After no
  one showed up, I went back home which is about 2 mins away from my EB
  Games.

  Next time I went back out was 2am. Still no one there,
  so I drove back home, and somehow got myself to sleep for a while. I
  woke back up at 445am and headed back to the store. I saw a chair in
  front of the door, and a car in front of it. So I pulled up next to the
  car and there was a guy waiting in it. He got out of his car and we
  started talking, I told him that I talked to the guy yesterday and he
  confirmed preorders. Well the chair wasn't the guy that I was talking
  to, it was his friend's. So I got my blanket out of my trunk and sat
  down next to the chair on the ground. The guy's friend came back 10
  minutes later and we all started talking. about 30 minutes later,
  another one of their friends showed up.

  Well around 730, the
  guy in the chair started getting hungry and there was a Burger King 4
  stores over, and I told him that if he held my spot, I would go over
  and get him something because I was hungry as too. Well he gave me a
  $20 and told me to get whatever I want. So that was very nice. Got a
  free lunch.

  Anyway
  more people didn't show up till 830ish. Most of the people showed up
  arouned 9am-930. The manager and one of the employees came outside and
  started talking to us all about the PS3. The manager said she wasn't
  too impressed with the PS3. She said she was looking forward to the
  Wii. She told us that she got a chance to play on both and the Wii is
  really something nice. She also handed us sheets of release dates for
  games so we had something to look over while we wait the last couple of
  mins.

  10am rolled around, and they let 4 people in at a time. 2 people ahead of me and I was number 3, so I'm pretty siked.
  I made about 4 friends that night/day and they were all veryu generuous
  giving me food and drinks. I will say though, that the 3 friends that
  showed up that I was talking to most of the time all planned on ebaying
  the console. They also said that they are camping somewhere else on the
  16th to get another one.

  Made my decision...getting a PS3

  After seeing some of the game videos has convinced me to get a PS3. I'm really impressed by Motorstorm which is a game that I really really want and since its PS3 exclusive is even more of a reason to get it.
  
  I plan on getting the $599 model with Motorstorm and most likely another game. I'm not sure of the launch titles but I'm sure they'll be a few more that I'll want and another controller. My main conern it getting the console.
  
  Only reason I get a 360 end of Novemeber last year was because I got extremely lucky, so I'm not couting on luck to get my PS3 this year.
