Minus 1 guy who went to the bathroom, these are actually all the 360 owners in Japan.

except for this:

that's a bundle there

i love the cynicism in this thread. priceless.

sadly, in a couple of months it'll all be a memory

[ElectricBlue187]

are they looking at....clipboards?

 

[duckroll]

Bah, I need to stop reading other forums...so much mis-information. Thanks for the clarification.

Yeah, I hear you. But this is actually good news because it means that the online hype over the pre-orders selling out is actually converting to people actually buying the bundle in general too. Hopefully the final figures are tasty.

 

[SeaOfMadness]

are they looking at....clipboards?

i think they work for the store!

 

[Piper Az]

Is this a sick joke?

 

[lachesis]

It is indeed... surreal.

Team Ico should make a game about it. :lol

 

[Barf_the_Mog]

Why do these people even bother lining up? Wouldn't it just be easier the go after school or work and just waltz right in? I swear, the Japanese will line up for anything...or even nothing at all.

 

[Wes]

are they looking at....clipboards?

They've listed reasons why they should stay in line for when they get a lack of willpower. Notice how the first guy hasn't got one and he looks upset?

 

[pewye]

Did people line up like this when the 360 itself came out in Japan?

 

[ant1532]

Japan has smartened up!

cant wait for sale numbers

 

[Odysseus]

"Hey, guys? This thing you're lining up for is an actual game. ... Not a non-game."

*half the line leaves*

"And it's for Xbox 360."

*tumbleweeds*

 

[beelzebozo]

stop posting those 360 launch pictures
they're seriously depressing

 

[Tadaima]

Is this a sick joke?

What; the Xbox 360's presence Japan, or this thread?

Yes, in both instances.

 

[cvxfreak]

 

[kisakiproject]

Do you think we'll get first day sales numbers tommorow night?

 

[Defuser]

Damn cvxfreak beat me to it

 

[NinSoX]

I think they want a taste of the first good next gen RPG. (enchanted arm was only decent)

 

[beelzebozo]

"do you come with the game?"

 

[AndriaSang]

Those lines are for the Yodobashi Camera in Akihabara, the location of the official launch event. The event is open only to those who purchase the limited edition Blue Dragon core system, I believe.

I would've gone, but I was too busy playing the game.

 

[soul creator]

so is there only one game store in Japan? Everytime I open a thread with pics, it looks like the same guy in the blue long sleeve shirt and vest always shows up

 

[Piper Az]

Who's the broad?

 

[Baryn]

are they looking at....clipboards?

Yeah, seriously, is that some kind of crazy Japanese fad, like wriststraps?

 

[Arsenal]

That photoshop needs moneyhats

You can't say that without a bit of your impressions? You like?

 

[whatdidyousay]

Raise your hand if you're here to buy a DS!!!!

 

[Wunderchu]

What's the allure with this game? I haven't really read up on it, but it seems pretty crazy that the Japanese would buy a 360 to play it. It just looks like another JRPG from the screenshots I've seen.

I think it's mainly because of the people behind the game; http://www.talkxbox.com/preview770.html

 

[Hunter D]

Surely a sign of the end times.

Quick, Someone call Schwarzenegger.

 

[clashfan]

Raise your hand if you're here to buy a DS!!!!

Are you trying to be funny?

 

[ant1532]

Evil scary hot lady

I likey

 

[Illuminati]

Are you trying to be funny?

I LOLed.

 

[beelzebozo]

Quick, Someone call Schwarzenegger.

i just did, but he told me to stop calling his house or he'd call the police.
every night, the same damn thing.

...and everyone said their "Do" campaign wouldn't work!

Haters have been owned!

 

[CrushDance]

This will last for...5 seconds worth in gaming history. The fact remains 360 is really made up of FPses at the moment and not everyone enjoys those games.

 

[Firestorm]

Lies and slander

 

[pol's voice]

...and everyone said their "Do" campaign wouldn't work!

Haters have been owned!

A bit premature to be declaring victory there...

 

[beelzebozo]

anyone rooting for this game to fail really sucks
i just want you to know that

 

[Petrarca]

they're all paid by MS to stand in line, that's the most logical explanation

 

[Illuminati]

...and everyone said their "Do" campaign wouldn't work!

Haters have been owned!

By pictures from one store?

It's time for Nintendo and Sony to bail out of Japan!!!

 

[Y2Kev]

omg i cant stop laughing

 

[Mojovonio]

i just want you to know that

this is true.

 

[Karma Kramer]

Wtf...

Hell is going to freeze over tonight

 

[Beezy]

...and everyone said their "Do" campaign wouldn't work!

Haters have been owned!

:lol

 

[pol's voice]

I don't want the game to fail. In fact, I expect it to sell pretty well.

I'm just not convinced that one game is going to singlehandedly turn around the dismal performance of the X-Box brand in Japan.

 

[whatdidyousay]

Are you trying to be funny?

No. Christ.

 

[jj984jj]

...and everyone said their "Do" campaign wouldn't work!

Are you saying 360 will overtake Wii by the end of the year?

 

[HomerSimpson-Man]

Well that's just surreal right there.

 

[Tadaima]

This is what I was talking about. And look, you can see where I was coming from when I mentioned those pantyshots.

Spoiler

Congrats on finally becoming a member.

huh? Besides PDZ and Call of Duty, what other FPS make up the majority of the 360 library??? There're over 100 360 games, mind you. Let's see if you can name even 30 FPS.

Stop trolling.

So then you're happy that they've managed to release a game that is very different from their norm, right? Happy?
