Glad you liked the music. Actually, all those people got systems. 60GBs ran out about 9:30PM... All the big Yodos (The multimedias) got nearly 1000 units.

I just called Reno, who's standing at Tsutaya Shibuya with johntv, DC, fowler and the rest.

He told me Tsutaya has the DMC4 demo playable on a machine in the store. He wanted me to tell GAF that it sucks.

Not my words. ;P

Not a soul outside Yodobashi in Sendai as of midnight.

Just like the PSP launch, madness in Tokyo and I strolled up at 9 a.m. to buy one launch day with not a single soul around.

Not that I'm complaining!

They were selling them on Friday? That's interesting. I wonder what the 60/20 split was.

must be a 2.5" sata (laptop size) hard drive, not any hard drive per say. No word on a limit yet, but laptop drives dont go that high as it is.

Pretty nice. Yodobashi Camera in Akihabara.
Shop staff proclaimed: "Everyone currently in line will be able to buy" and led people SIX stories down in the underground parking lot. (I have parked my car in there and it's HUGE and DEEP.)

(Sorry - couldn't find a bigger picture)

Six stories down? :lol

"This is going out of control. We have to get rid of these people before the normal customers come in and we to avoid at all costs that they contact -the others-. Lead them to the basement!! Lure them in with the empty PS3 boxes we got, lock the door and throw away the key!"

It's not just the store where Ken's going to be, actually. Ken is only going to one.

Ken usually does rounds in the morning of Tokyo launch days...


JOHNTV, DCHARLIE UPDATE: Apparently they talked to staff and got the interlopers thrown to the back of the line! Gaijin victory!

Actually I have to say: We didn't do all THAT much. I'm bloody useless because I can't speak any Japanese. John fought for our corner, but really, there was this one guy in a purple windbreaker who's been fighting the good fight all day for us. Earlier Tsutaya tried to tell us to line up somewhere else but never told us where else to go -- he single-handedly made them back off.

Forget Kutaragi: Purple Windbreaker Guy, we salute you.
