From the Time of 4:00 PM EST today until the later parts of Friday afternoon/evening, I will not be around.

Beginning at 10:00 PM EST, I will be in a local Meijers store.
In order to purchase a PS3 at launch.

This is a dangerous mission, one that will take me mass amounts of patience to accomplish. As I will quite literally be standing in Meijers for 26 HOURS. I will be able to finish some reading, and whatnot, and in the end, it will be worth it.

*salute* Wish me luck my comrades!

Good ruck.

Be sure to buy a game while you're out.

Don't forget to sell your PS3 on eBay..

Don't forget mine!

Don't forget your rubix cube. the PS3 will solve it for you, and beware of aliens who might want to steal your PS3.

Alright, the bag is packed and I'm leaving in a few hours.

Here is what I am packing for those long hours.

1. Wallet (Contains ID, Money, Permits, etc.)
2. Literature (To be specific...Self-Analysis, Dianetics, and The Fundamentals of Thought by L. Ron Hubbard and Mysterious Stranger by David Blaine)
3. Decks of Cards (For Magic and games of Solitaire)
4. A Plethora of Beef Jerky (We call em Rations to sound cool)
5. Water Bottle
6. Combat Knife (Can never be too safe)
7. Pepper Spray (See above)
8. Notebooks (Research)
9. Collective Information Packets from the Citizen's Commission on Human Rights and Church of Scientology (More reading)
10. Chewing Gum (To wet mouth, and surpress appetite)
11. a Peice of Hard-Tack, If you know what Hard-Tack is, you know why I only have one piece.

The other guy is bringing his DS and whatnot. So we should be okay.

All of this is packed in an Olive Drab Military style carrying bag. To go with my typical military demeanor.

Ladies and Gentlemen, it's Heaven or Hell. LETS ROCK

PS3 = too expensive to be worth my time.

I'll get a Wii, since it has the most promising line-up of games. If 360 will come out with ANYTHING other than FPS and RPG games, I'll get one of those. Right now, I'm not buying one just for Sonic the Hedgehog.

Dead Rising
Ninety Nine Nights
Chrome Hounds
Gears of War
Table Tennis
Uno
Geometry Wars
Street Fighter II Turbo (maybe on that one)
Castlevania: Symphony of the Night
Amped 3
Time Pilot
Dynasty Warriors 5
Winning Eleven (I think those games are out, at least)
Fight Night Round 3
Lego Star Wars 2 (from what I've been told by reliable sources, at least)
Marvel Ultimate Alliance
NBA 2k7

I hope that helps.

I've got Lego Star Wars 2 and Ultimate Alliance on PS2. I'm not real sure what genre Chrome Hounds or Gears of War are.

HMD · « **Reply #12 on:** November 16, 2006, 01:07:52 am »

Chrome Hounds is a mecha game by Sega. Gears of War can be likened to an American Resident Evil 4.

ROMate · « **Reply #13 on:** November 16, 2006, 01:10:49 am »

Chrome Hounds sounds worth it. Never really got into playing RE, though I could watch it be played for hours. Especially with Rebecca Chambers on-screen.

I quit.

After roughly 24 hours of waiting outside in the cold at Target, due to the fact that they WOULD NOT let us in. I quite frankly just realised it wasn't worth it.

I was only buying the thing to make a profit on it off of e-bay, and quite frankly, even my greed has limits. What should have been a hard and harrowing experience, actually wound up being MUCH worse due to the fact that we were, quite frankly, herded like animals outside of a store that wouldn't even tell us how many PS3s they were going to even HAVE. So most likely we were just wasting our time anyway. HOW FREAKING LAME.

Among other life lessons, I am never shopping at Target again.

ROMate · « **Reply #15 on:** November 16, 2006, 04:52:50 pm »

Sorry to hear it, Bill. Honestly, camping out for anything is so far beyond me. I could never do it.

I think you made a wise decision, Will.

While people across the country tear each other to shreds over Sony's PS3 tommorow, I'll be opening up my mail-ordered Xbox 360 and playing Sonic the Hedgehog on my 32" LCD HDTV.

You guys can come in. You just won't be in line for your PS3 (and we don't give out tickets until the morning of anyway).

We're not allowed to give out numbers, only speak in vague terms (instead of eight units, we say limited numbers). Company policy, not ours.

Fuck you. If you don't shop at Target, we don't make money. We don't make money, I don't get paid. I don't get paid, I get angry. I get angry, everyone suffers. Please spend your money at Target.

Good, Bill has lost his case of the crazies.

This said, isn't the Xbox 360 wunnerful?!

ROMate · « **Reply #19 on:** November 16, 2006, 10:22:20 pm »

Only if it gets one other awesome game other than Sonic and Chrome Hounds.
