So... did you get a PS3?

We know that, statistically speaking, you probably didn't get a PS3 tonight. That's cool, no shame in the game if you tried. But we want you to tell us about it. Did you get one? No? What happened? We're sure you've got a story, so let it be heard.

[Devin @ Nov 17th 2006 3:29AM]

I bought 16 at the local 7-11.

[Eddie @ Nov 17th 2006 3:31AM]

Well, this guy sold his for $100 million on ebay after getting his at gamestop.

[Clifton Helpingstine @ Nov 17th 2006 4:59AM]

Judging based on the buyers profile I'm going to say this guy isn't going to be getting his money from his PS3. The buyer has sold only 15 bead bracelets and no previous purchases.

[Steph @ Nov 20th 2006 10:29AM]

This uy probably only sold his ps3 for $5,000. Everyone above that is not a registered user and as such isn't allowed to buy or sell. But that would be living the dream!

[LittleJoe @ Nov 17th 2006 3:32AM]

No.

I was too busy waiting for a Bag-Of-Crap that never came.

[Krill @ Nov 17th 2006 3:35PM]

my friend and i both got one each, from probably the smallest wal mart in the us, they only recieved 2 and we were the first in line at 5pm wednesday

[Amelia @ Nov 17th 2006 3:43AM]

100 million, really? Huh, I heard it was only 10...

[airiox @ Nov 17th 2006 3:45AM]

Got in line at the local walmart with a friend on rumors there would be 2 vouchers for the next 60GB consoles they receive. Waited there 13 and 14th in line with 12 consoles on site. Even though there were times that we thought we weren't gonna get lucky, especially at the end. We we able to be the lucky 2 to have the vouchers for the next 60gb's on site. They told us it will be a week or less before they get them in. WOOT! :D

[dukrous @ Nov 17th 2006 3:51AM]

I have my brother and cousins waiting in line at a nearby Best Buy. I'm not getting one...I need to eat more than I need to play with a PS3. :) But I will be getting a Wii Sunday morning.

[Mike @ Nov 17th 2006 3:52AM]

For chrissake boys, is that the best picture you have???

[antitux @ Nov 17th 2006 3:54AM]

I dropped off 2 12-packs of mountain dew to the ones waiting by the best buy near arrowhead mall in the phoenix area. Gonna drop off 3 more tonight for them.

[Parvin @ Nov 17th 2006 4:00AM]

i am camping at target right now haha. 8 at target and i am number 3 .. my roomate is number 4 woot

[Dalber @ Nov 17th 2006 4:00AM]

I think they'll be too busy enjoying their new purchases to reply for the next week... :)

[rockintom99 @ Nov 17th 2006 9:35AM]

Not much to enjoy, though. The only semi-decent game is Resistance.

Can't wait for Wii. Zelda on launch FTW.

[blackout @ Nov 17th 2006 4:03AM]

no, i'm european, of course i didn't.

[Ashish @ Nov 17th 2006 4:11AM]

I live in the Middle East. We can wait for our PS 3s >_>

[Franky @ Nov 17th 2006 4:14AM]

I was number 260 in the Q here in Hong Kong.Waited 2 hours and decided to come home to sleep.Didn't bother to go to the launch this morning.An email came from Sony few hours ago and I just managed to order mine online which is coming next week.They were sold out within an hour.

[Jeff @ Nov 17th 2006 4:20AM]

people are crazy.

i'd really like to get a Wii ASAP, but i dont want to be one of the suckers lining up. I think i'll wait until they restock 'em after the initial rush. Even if that's a ways off, rev B's are usually less crappy. - i DO hope to be playing a Wii before the end of the year. we'll see.

As for the PS3 - i'll wait until Rev D, and hopefully a decent price drop.

[J. Hogan @ Nov 17th 2006 4:27AM]

I bought mine on E-bay from Sen. Edwards's aide....lol

[LEP @ Nov 17th 2006 4:52AM]

Ha suckers, I bought mine on Ebay for $100 from a guy in China. Im just awairing delivery now.

[Benjamin @ Nov 17th 2006 11:51AM]

Your not going to get it there is no way u got it 4 100 Bucks!?!?!?!?

[rob @ Nov 20th 2006 9:31PM]

"Ha suckers, I bought mine on Ebay for $100 from a guy in China. Im just awairing delivery now."


..........still waiting?

[brownie monstahs @ Nov 17th 2006 5:07AM]

i got mine for free from a saudi sheik

[LittleJoe @ Nov 17th 2006 5:10AM]

How did I get mine?

Oh I just did a favor for a guy in the parking lot.

Does anyone have any scope?

[boss sauce @ Nov 17th 2006 5:22AM]

well, um, enjoy your i'm-not-getting-laid-stations!

while you are home tomorrow night playing with your new p3n!5es, i'll be playing "get her off" with the same unit/console i've been using for years... and everybody wins!

SERIOUS ADVICE: Give up video games. Enjoy good food and wine. Meet a nice girl. Play with her have way more fun.

[KerryB @ Nov 17th 2006 10:05AM]

Gosh, it's so easy! Why didn't I do that sooner!

I've been sitting here playing video games all day, every day and never realized that if i just enjoyed food and wine more that I'd meet a nice girl!

I've been doing it all wrong. Man, do I feel silly.

Does anyone know a sommellier? Or a nice girl who likes ex-gamers with a new found penchant for food and/or wine?

[MercWorks @ Nov 17th 2006 11:34AM]

You really are an asshole, boss sauce. It's not always that easy.

I've a fantastic girl who enjoys proper reading while I play my DS ... same'll go for the Wii. We enjoy fine whiskey, vodka, and fucking pizza. Not everyone's life is gonna be like yours, we all have different interests, and people who play video games still get laid. Get over yourself.

[zerosozha @ Nov 17th 2006 7:46PM]

Comments like that really make you look like an ignorant ass. I play video games religiously, and guess what? So does my girlfriend. Of course, there are those times when we both throw down the controllers and get down and dirty with each other. But according to you, that can't happen, can it?

[brownie monstahs @ Nov 17th 2006 5:23AM]

littlejoe u better be the best for 600 dollars, plus why do u want scope if u already brushed ur teeth with u know whut lol.

[mupaintball @ Nov 17th 2006 5:23AM]

I was prepared to wait in line at 7pm Wednesday night at my local WalMart. There was no line and there were 6 systems. I was told by all of store management that there would be NO LINE until 10pm thursday. They told this to everyone who asked. Then, thursday afternoon I stopped in to talk to the managers about the safety concerns I had of announcing the line just 2 hours before launch. Apparently early in the morning 6 people formed a line and refused to move so the manager just said "ok, I guess this is the line". They lied to dozens of people who were there first. Thank you WalMart, your store manager is an idiot and a liar.

[Kevin @ Nov 17th 2006 4:32PM]

A similar thing happened to me at Circuit City. I was told by two different employees at different times that the line didn't start until 12:01 am on Friday. I arrive at 11pm last night to get ready to wait in line, and there already is a line of about 30 people. I ask the security guard what the deal is and he tells me that there was confusion and the line actually started at 12:01am on Thursday, not Friday. So now here I am on Friday afternoon, playstationless. I had counted down the days and made sure that I'd be one to get one, no matter how long it took me to camp out. But apparently Tuesday night is too early but then Wednesday afternoon at Target is too late.

[Tom @ Nov 17th 2006 5:27AM]

"We're sure you've got a story, so let it be heard."

Well, I just upgraded to a steel sword in Children of Mana for DS... then I killed the second boss and this wierd tree spirit told me... wait, what's this about PS3?

[patrick @ Nov 17th 2006 5:29AM]

My PS3 and Wii are sitting in my uncles office, he's already paid for them I just need to pick them up. I know the Wii isn't out yet but he says he got mine early I guess it pays to be a Game stop regional manager. Also I tend to believe him since he was able to get my 360 a couple of days early too. I will probably go by there about 11 or 12 tomorrow, as I can't be bothered to get up too early for a couple of toys. I am really more interested in playing with the Wii than the PS3 the games seem neat with the way they use the controller. Now I just need to use my Best Buy gift card for some extra games.

[Alondo @ Nov 17th 2006 7:57AM]

As nonchalant as you try to sound in your post, you took the time to copy and paste the same comment at least twice on varying sites.

I did the preorder at EBGames and and was told the bad news. However, waiting a little while won't kill me, because the best things in life come to those who wait. Same thing happened when I was trying to get my car (Honda Civic Si w/navigation).

[Max @ Nov 17th 2006 6:12AM]

Was on my way to circut city, got turned away from raffle line at 8:15pm even though circut city said event starts at 9pm

[Mike10010100 @ Nov 17th 2006 6:31AM]

No, I'm sorry. I didn't get a PS3. I got 2 extremely fun Wiis, with controllers that are both wireless and actually vibrate. HA!

[Semi @ Nov 17th 2006 6:39AM]

Sonkeys!

[Ron Howard @ Nov 17th 2006 6:42AM]

Heres how my story goes;

TUESDAY:
Wal-mart: "No one can line up until 9am Thursday"
10 assholes: "Hey, lets park the RV in front of wal-mart tomorrow morning so we can buy all 10 PS3s to sell on eBay"
WEDNESDAY:
10 assholes pull up to wal-mart and begin waiting inside the RV
THURSDAY:
20 or so citizens of my town wait outside wal-mart
Manager:"those guys were here before they were allowed to be and they weren't really in line,they're just sitting in an RV, they don't get one"
assholes: "ROAR, WTFzors complain, complain, rabble rabble"
Manager:"Oh, i guess you assholes have a point, the 20 of you who followed our rules should go home, these 10 assholes who've been sitting in an RV in the parking lot since Wednesday are getting all 10 ps3s so they can sell them on eBay, oh btw im a retard, pants, i lick balls"
20 or so citizens of my town: pissed
10 assholes:"yeahzors, major profits"

and i assume they all waited in the RV doing gay things till 11:45 when wal-mart gave them vouchers for no reason then led them to the back so they could buy all 10 PS3s

[cosmo @ Nov 17th 2006 10:41AM]

woohahahaha! good story; i pissed myself laughing for an hour. great!

[Jim Day @ Nov 17th 2006 4:50PM]

Absolutely hilarious - thanks for making my day.

[demetrius @ Nov 17th 2006 7:06AM]

i cruised around in the late evening scopin out local venues that had less people. about 2am i found 2 of them so i decided on the target on the outskirts of town. waited for about 5 minutes before one of the guys told me that there were only 8 and i was the 10th guy in line. damn. should i tempt fate and see if the bugger was lyin? nah. so i headed over to the target closer in town. everyone campin was asleep. only 6 people and an empty chair. i made myself comfy near that chair. about an hour later a camry rolls up, window rolls down, 2 dudes in the car, the driver asks if i know how many they have here. i dont know. then he says that there was a riot at the walmart on 82nd (one of the bigger streets in portland). apparently 200 people (probably an exaggeration) rushed the store, and cops had to be called in. everyone was put on the wall, and the ps3's were raffled off. he had been third in line, but didnt get one. that's when one of the campers woke up and told him there were only 6 here. i recounted... crud. again. ;p so yah.... now i have to get up at 6am to see if i can get a raffle ticket at one of the local stores that are doin raffles. doh!

[snow @ Nov 17th 2006 7:41AM]

nope only 10 per store in canada

[sex panther by odeon @ Nov 17th 2006 7:52AM]

shut the fuck up boss sauce.
I'm at work. It's 7:36am. No one's here. The lights are out. I haven't showered in 36 hours. I'm tired as hell. I've got a rain-check from wal-mart and probably pneumonia. All in all, I say it was a fun experience but I would never in my life do it again. Until the PS4 comes out. At one point a pimply kid came up to our tent and asked if we were going to sell our systems. In reply to our silence, which means yes, he said "you guys have no lives, do you?" So here's a message to all the haters out there: Despite popular belief, most people who play video games DO have lives and DO get laid. If you're passing off advice about dropping video games and picking up "wine" (wtf), you're trying too hard, and you probably have a small penis. And yes, I will sell my system on eBay. Does not mean I don't want to own a ps3. I do quite badly actually, but if it's a choice between shelling out 600 or making 1200 profit... hmmmmm

[patrick @ Nov 17th 2006 8:12AM]

Yes I did I posted the comment on here and Joystiq. So what? they are different sites. So you mean I can't post my comments on more than one site? Also why should I have to retype the entire comment copy and pasting saves time, it's not like my experience changed any between the sites. Lastly what do you do spend your time going to all the gaming blogs and compare comments to see if some are the exact same? That sounds kinda sad really.

[Nate @ Nov 18th 2006 4:35PM]

Alondo, did you wait in some line to buy a civic SI? I don't get it. What does a civic have to do with a PS3?

[Digitalosh @ Nov 17th 2006 12:21PM]

I think his comment was more in regards to the fact that you get your kicks off acting like it aint a big deal, and then go around telling everyone. Its your self-esteem that is in question, bud. What exactly is it that you're compensating for?

[Alondo @ Nov 20th 2006 10:18AM]

It just seemed that you sounded condescending to others when you go through the effort to flaunt your "ties" with someone on the inside. As for comparing comments, I don't troll comments and compare them, it was that I read your first post and felt that it was not in good taste, then I saw it again verbatim on this site.

[Scabies @ Nov 17th 2006 8:15AM]

Yeah, I have one of those shafted stories. SonyStyle, St Louis, Thursday 6AM I show up preparing to join the line. Since our SS is inside a mall, there was no tents, and no lines for that matter. I wait until the store opens (and I was the first one in! ...on thursday) and they gave me one of the previously mentioned stories. There was even a Mall exec there that stated anyone that is on Mall property before 5:30AM on friday will be removed, and reiterated that they were dead serious. SO I get there at about 445 this (friday) morning, and start doing laps around the lot, and what do I see? A line of 48 people already there!! I rush to grab a parking spot, and talk to the guys at the back of the line. They said that the people in front had been there since 2PM Thursday afternoon.

lies Lies LIES. SO now I am #34 in the waiting list, and theyll call me when 60gb PS3 #34 shows up.
I always hated campers. This time they were cheating without haxx. I hope their system suffers a fatal hardware glitch. They pick up their system in 45 mins. I go back to sleep in about ten.

[everrette powell @ Nov 17th 2006 8:20AM]

my story is simply! i sold my spot in line for a $1000 so no i didn't get one

[Sam Chinichian @ Nov 17th 2006 8:28AM]

Circuit city #1 - 150 people and a raffle for 10
Circuit city #2 - ~400 people. cops came and broke it up. some people came back when the cops left and made a line
