That doesn't stop people from being excited over the launch, now does it? Also, if you got your ps3 a week ago and didn't sell it on ebay for like 50,000 $$$ then -you're- an idiot.

I'm torn right now my wal mart may, or may not have enough units in and i don't have the MONEY RIGHT NOW! My mom was kind enough to lend me her credit card (lol now I sound like a kid, I'm 19) but she won't go to the midnight release... and I need her signature... damn it. I hope there's some tomorrow morning.]]>Nov 18th 2006 9:21PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/11/18/live-from-nintendos-wii-launch-in-new-york/http://www.engadget.com/2006/11/18/live-from-nintendos-wii-launch-in-new-york/http://www.laptopbatteryclub.com/]]>Dec 2nd 2009 9:25PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/11/18/live-from-nintendos-wii-launch-in-new-york/http://www.engadget.com/2006/11/18/live-from-nintendos-wii-launch-in-new-york/Nov 18th 2006 9:17PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/11/18/live-from-nintendos-wii-launch-in-new-york/http://www.engadget.com/2006/11/18/live-from-nintendos-wii-launch-in-new-york/Nov 18th 2006 9:18PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/11/18/live-from-nintendos-wii-launch-in-new-york/http://www.engadget.com/2006/11/18/live-from-nintendos-wii-launch-in-new-york/Nov 18th 2006 9:23PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/11/18/live-from-nintendos-wii-launch-in-new-york/http://www.engadget.com/2006/11/18/live-from-nintendos-wii-launch-in-new-york/

I hope that thing is one giant LCS screen and not just a glowing plastic thing with a clock in the middle. Lots of news crews looking; it'll be the laughing stalk/stock/whatever of the industry!

That's Leroy, not Luigi.]]>Nov 18th 2006 11:20PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/11/18/live-from-nintendos-wii-launch-in-new-york/http://www.engadget.com/2006/11/18/live-from-nintendos-wii-launch-in-new-york/
Heck, I don't recall there being ANY mention of people getting together with their PSPs while waiting in line for the PS3. There was one actual picture of people playing on their DS, though there were probably plenty of others who had done the same thing, just not while the camera happened to be on them.

What is the source of this gaping chasm of civility? I'm honestly curious. Is it purely due to the intentionally limited release of the PS3? Were the riots perhaps staged by Sony in the hopes of generating more hype?
Is there perhaps something inherently more mature about the attitude of the Nintedo/Wii fan vs the Playstation/PS3 fan? Or is it just simply a pathetic, yet vocal minority of annoying PS3 fans who are spoiling it for the relatively normal majority, and there's actually no major difference between either fanbase?

Perhaps We simply haven't gotten far enough in the timeline to know that there won't be any riots, though from the people I've talked to, nobody that intended to get the Wii seemed to be expressing any concerns about being able to get one, if not on the release date, then soon after.

Whatever the answer, it's definitely food for thought.


PS: OMG! Segway Wii! It's the SegWii!
