    And thats was just a couple of "nerds with money" for those thugs, imagine if they actually had a PS3 unit in their hands.

    In Lexington, Kentucky three line-sitters and one local news reporter were hit with pellets when a drive by shooter took aim at the waiting crowd outside the Nicholasville Road Best Buy.

    X360's gangs making a BBgun drive-by to some PS3 wiggas?

    This is worse then those homeless chinese people who got exploited in japan for the ps3 launch. I think this has scared me away from ever wanting to camp out. Who knows how anxious people will be next gen.

    I highly doubt it, the wii is in abundunt supply. Plus the ps3 launch probably overshadwoded it when it comes to madness.

    I heard some Ninty fans, fresh from a demo play of Red Steel, took out their frustrations on some innocent shoppers patiently awaiting the opening of their favourite store!

    Look Nintendo, look what you have created! Back to inoffensive Goomba squashing before it's too late!

    Yes, of course. America... Get it? This is so boring, do you have any new material? Shit gets stolen everywhere, not just America. Don't be an idiot.

    Honestly, I don't feel sorry for these people. If you feel like camping out for a few days to get a Playstation, then you better be prepared for the risks involved.

    Taemos has a point. Anytime you are basically standing around doing nothing or wandering off at night, risk is involved. That's why you give them your wallet/money, and while they are picking it up off the ground you pull your consealed weapon and shoot them. Hopefully they won't bleed on your wallet/money.

    This stuff is bound to happen in other places in the world though. You just aren't as likely to hear about it.

    In Hawaii you can pay people to hold your place in line to take your drivers test. It's always packed, and always has a line. Costs $80 for the person to wait there from 2AM until 8AM. Not bad if you can do it a few times a week. :)

    And you aren't as likely to be able to defend yourself with a firearm.

    As a kid i almost got robbed once by some older guy. After initial hesitation I beat him up and took his money instead. See if you can pull-off the same trick ;)

    Damn that's an awesome role reversal.
    I bet that guy felt like a complete ass hole once he realized what happened.

    Haven't heard from him. I'm assuming him dead.
