1.You stand in line for a week. What job do you have that your willing to waste your vacation time waiting in line for a video game? At least lets hope you have a job. I mean the thing is going to cost you 599US dollars before tax. I have to tell ya I wouldn't spend my vacation camping out for anything but a chance to latch onto one of Beyonce's fine legs.

2.Unless you are in the South/Southwest you are taking a chance on frigid sore ass disease. It's a video game system people. There will be more eventually and those may even be free of potential defects. But hey anybody that is willing to shell that out to play games isn't exactly unfamiliar to dropped soap.

3.It's a game system guys we all like em but cmon tomorrow the 3rd world will be the 3rd world, Bush will be a complete idiot and theChina will still lead the world econ in farmed wow gold and wanting to shove nukes straight up our bums.

Anyway, i'm just ranting and think that its bogus and stupid to post an "update" that we should riot on Edwards' kid because he got a PS3 when the rest of america's working class is waiting in line...especially since it's the people who aren't working who are waiting in line. those that can't take off work, can't wait in line. One more thing, half the stories i've read online the past couple of days about these so called "america's working families" who are waiting inline for the PS3 are just doing so so that they can go sell it on ebay so make a profit. Hard working americans indeed.

It all sucks in my opinion. this entire launch is pathetic and disgusting...from at least what i read online ;)

I do intend to, at some point, buy a PS3, but it will likely be six months to a year from now when they're easier to come by and perhaps less expensive.]]>Nov 17th 2006 2:26AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/11/16/ps3-crime-spree/http://www.engadget.com/2006/11/16/ps3-crime-spree/

...Of course, that's not true. Japan had far less units to go around, and far less violence. What the hell is wrong with us Americans?

The right to bear arms was a mistake indeed. Everyone will now arm themselves when they wait in line for the PlaySation 4 so that they can shoot the robber before the robber shoots them - all for a video game console.

But, as many sites have reported, the amount of violence isn't direct related to games. It's about the money they can make and the will to not go home empty handed, wasting hours of their lives. Oh Sony...you should have delayed the launch to make a $600 system worth $600.]]>Nov 17th 2006 5:24AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/11/16/ps3-crime-spree/http://www.engadget.com/2006/11/16/ps3-crime-spree/Nov 17th 2006 10:50AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/11/16/ps3-crime-spree/http://www.engadget.com/2006/11/16/ps3-crime-spree/Nov 17th 2006 6:41AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/11/16/ps3-crime-spree/http://www.engadget.com/2006/11/16/ps3-crime-spree/

This aid is a designee of Mr Edwards and identified himself as such. It was confirmed by the store. This is a legitimate story about someone who as a Democrat claims to be more empathetic to everyday people, and yet will use privilege to step ahead of others.

Mr Edwards, you have many millions.

He's not that stupid. The story doesn't make sense.

Plus, Wal-Mart's PR guy is a dick. Wal-Mart is a big reason many working families in America are living in poverty with low wages and no health care.]]>Nov 17th 2006 10:38AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/11/16/ps3-crime-spree/http://www.engadget.com/2006/11/16/ps3-crime-spree/
Guns aren't a deterrent, they're a response. Come out and say "I want to kill anyone who fucks with me." At least you'd be honest with yourself and everyone else. The logic that if everyone had guns we'd all be safe is a complete fantasy. People would be getting shot all the fucking time. Human beings aren't mature enough to handle that responsibility.

Case in point, rioting and violence over a VIDEO GAME CONSOLE. Your dream world probably seems pretty nice to you, but we don't live in it.]]>Nov 17th 2006 11:47AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/11/16/ps3-crime-spree/http://www.engadget.com/2006/11/16/ps3-crime-spree/

I have minimal sympathy for violent criminals, but at the same time, here's a tip on how not to get shot : When someone with a gun demands your [money/valuables/etc], GIVE IT TO THEM, for fck's sake. ]]>Nov 17th 2006 11:53AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/11/16/ps3-crime-spree/http://www.engadget.com/2006/11/16/ps3-crime-spree/
How many times have you heard of someone trying to rob people at an NRA event? Guns are a deterrent and a response to violent crime.

Someone already hit the nail on the head. You can't get rid of ALL guns and laws only make sure that law-abiding citizens are unarmed. Criminals by definition don't care what the law says.

In your world, everyone follows gun control laws, right? Then why do we have people in prison for committing crimes with guns that they're not legally allowed to own?

You trust criminals more than law-abiding citizens. You're pathetic. ]]>Nov 17th 2006 12:51PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/11/16/ps3-crime-spree/http://www.engadget.com/2006/11/16/ps3-crime-spree/

Sadly KerryB you are right that by and large humans are not up to the challenge of being armed, but until you can get rid of ALL guns, those of us who intend to use them to protect ourselves and others must be allowed to keep them.]]>Nov 17th 2006 11:59AM
