The PS3 wait is on (update) photo

Check out all these great pictures of gamers already in line to own, then sell, their very own PlayStation 3. These are images from both NYC and Florida. See anyone you know? You might want to ask them for a loan in the very near future as they will be swimming in dough when their PS3 hits the grey market.

[Update: Here's video of the line at the Circuit City in Union Sq, NYC, via Kotaku -- RS]

Tommorrow I think I will torment / entertain them with my "I just got a PS3 antics". The whole Idea is to just get a box of oranges (or bannanas), empty it out, write "PS3" in bright, bold letters (Make it obvious that it is still an orange box) and put a PS2 (Broken) inside. Run around the parking lot yelling "I just got a PS3" and smashit on the ground after an hours worth of taunting...

I don't really see a point of lining up for this if your in the last section of the line... Its pretty much a waste of time if you are number 101 and had to sleep on the streets for two days... I guess some people just have alot of free time and money

While ridiculous, this still doesn't hold a candle to the Wii lines at E3 2006.

Yeah, I was there a half hour ago and I only saw the first part of the line. I might as well not even go tomorrow. Sheeesh.

No video game console release is worth the loss of dignity. Thank god for pre-orders.

I just know I'll go into work on Friday and see people lined up. Poor bastards, we were shortchanged on our shipment and won't be able to fill even all the PS3 preorders.
