No way. Really? That is freaking weird.
 
we stood in line for an entire day, the day Phantom Menace tickets went on sale, and my friend gets to the window and first thing he says is, "Hows the mummy? I've heard mixed reviews on it"
 
[quote name='RedvsBlue']Yes but it is apparent that its all talk, no way that person is gonna actually do/say everything he mentioned.[/QUOTE]


True, I'm not that big of an ass. However if there are annoying people in line which I ;m sure there will be we will have our volumes maxed out....Also I'm sure after about an hour or so of listening to poeple in line go on and on about how they want to hump the 360, we'll do a lot of fanboism bs about the 360/PS3/Rev to mock them and piss them off. Why? To pass the time and have something entertaining to do.

If you're in line, there will be annoying people there, have no doubt. :lol:
 
I was jokin with my friend who is gettin one that while bein first in line we take everything out of the box and close it up again. Then I would go get the car and he puts the box down and gets into the car. Then I slowly back up over the empty box, I would just love to see the fanboys faces to think that a 360 got crushed before their very eyes.
 
At the ps2 launch we only had two store to buy them at in town. Walmart and Kmart. Walmart opened up at 7am and Kmart at 9am. So i figured I'd go up to walmart and if i didn't get one I'd still have a chance at Kmart.

I went up to walmart at 5am figured I'd be the first one up there. THere were already 8 people who had been there all night long. They were tired, bored, freezing and pissed off that I came two hours before they opened and would get one, where as they'd been there all night long.

WHen i first got there I was bombarded with the usual "man R U excited to get it? What game are you getting too?" "Man we've been here all night" "omg ps2 is gunna be so awesome ! ! ! "

Luckly I only had to put up with that for a couple hours once it was about quarter to seven where as I was last in line, tons of people showed up and there were easily over a hundred people there. The electronics guy came to the door and handed the first nine people in line (I was the last one :D) a voucher to take to the electronics department to pick up our system. Everyone else was pissed off and left.


Well when I was driving home from getting myself one I noticed that there wasn't a huge line at kmart. So I pulled up to the line and noticed one of my friends waiting in it. He didn't get one at walmart.


I asked him why no one was waiting at kmart too, since there were easily a hundred jpeople that didn't get one.

He told me that they started to show up and that he was telling them all that kmart was selling preorders only on launch day and that if they didn't preorder to try back tomorrow.

Apparently the few people in line cooked up that story together because they were all planning on buying two of them to sell on ebay.

So I waited in line with them, and used a credit card to buy a second ps2, and guess what? It went for over $800 on eBay :D

It was inevitable, folks.[/QUOTE]
I don't get it myself. Apparently they're trying to upset fanboys who waited in line, but it just seems like a waste of $400 to me. Why not donate it to Child Play? Oh yeah, that's right, because that wouldn't make anyone cry. Frankly I'm glad that these griefers won't be playing on Xbox Live - at least with that console.

Instant gratification rules, bucko. That's why. I don't think it's such a grand idea personally, however.

As for giving it to child's play, well, frankly, that's a bunch of crap. These goofuses (goofi?) wouldn't have the $400 if they weren't soliciting donations to destroy a 360, so what they do with the money isn't an issue. If they weren't going to destroy one, they wouldn't have the money to begin with, so it's a moot point.

As far as child's play is concerned, what I'd like to see is some of these CAGs bleeding people dry selling $400 (or free for the Mountain Dew cats) consoles for a 250%+ markup (that's $1000 and more for you slow, non-MrBadExample types) donate 5% of their proceeds ($50 on average) to child's play. While the twits who blew up their 360 wouldn't have the money to spend on a console if they didn't offer it, these gougers are flaunting how much they can charge for their console, and seem to have little to no intention of doing anything nice with it (other than buying more games for themselves). I'd like to see just a pittance of that 1k profit you just pocketed go to child's play.
 
I didn't even want one that much. I know I wouldn't have time to play it. I went to a few places yesturday just to see if I could find one. No biggy.

However, buying one just to destroy it is totally in bad taste.
