During my lunch break I rolled into a nearby Circuit City to talk to some of the gamers in line as well as the store representatives. The whole tent/camping thing was cute yesterday, but by now it's no longer funny. Those guys are dying out there. I'm going back to bring them cookies and crap food in robot armor in a few. If you are near a store, please do the gaming community a favor and roll by with some entertainment for these hardcore gamers. They are really, really bored.
Anyway, the shop manager asked that the line form around the corner for the day, as they were blocking (and frightening) front door traffic. He then added that they are not taking preorders and are not attempting to control the line -- when that door opens at 8am it's anybody's game. He also added that he is aware that more than 30 people are already waiting in line and they only have 20 available, so he anticipates a feud at the door and in the isles. Also, cocks.
On one hand, my heart goes out to these people. On the other hand, I enjoy watching horrible car accidents happen. Thus, I may just have to show up at 8am to film the bloodbath. May the gamers with the sharpest elbows win!

That's why any of these game stores deserve all the hate for preordering. Why would they do that, knowing the fiasco of the 360 launch? They know their entire stock of ps3's will sell in minutes without having people pre order, why cause a riot and ill will with your customers?
Also, cocks.
i live in Livermore lolz.
It's a big screaming doomsday mob in waiting.
