Bolded for truth. Good luck - I hope nothing bad happens.speculawyer said:I am currently in a parking lot outside a Sony Style store. The line starts at midnight. They only have like 25 PS3s. There are about 70 teens or 20-somethings milling around. An unknown number more camped in their cars.
So how does the 'line start at midnight'? A mad rush? My current plan is to dash from my car to the store as midnight nears.
This will not end well. :-(

Be careful! You don't want to end up like the guy who ran into a post at Wal-Mart and had to be taken to the hospital.speculawyer said:I am currently in a parking lot outside a Sony Style store.

Rocksteady33 said:Well after unsuccessfully trying to find any place in the nation to find a store that had a PS3, I gave up on trying to find one. However I went with a couple of buddies of mine to the Hopkins Target in Minnesota and there were roughly 15 people there. Ahead of time we printed out pretty shitty replicas of the box art on the actual system and brought them with us into the Target. In there we bought some cheap o kitchen appliance that had roughly the same size box as the PS3.
After we paid for it we took the scans of the box and taped them to the box making it look like a PS3. We then continued to run outside of the store screaming "They're selling them early!" and ran by all of them with it in one of our hands (moving quickly enough so they couldn't see that it was a fake.) All of them got up and RUSHED the door and all of them were pushing and shoving eachother to get inside of the door (keep in mind the store was only supposed to get about 8 or 9). Three guys got knocked down outside of the building, one apparently sprained his ankle, originally claiming it was broken, however I think he was just trying to get pity to ensure a system. After all of it two of the guys were kicked out, and one was handcuffed by a near by cop, but then later let go. Afterwards they pretty much all threatended to kill us because we had to stick around to their disappointment.
We left the box their for them, and within a couple of minutes one of the guys burned it.
And the best part was that only one of them was actually keeping the damn thing. Serves them right.

It's the same thing as shouting FIRE in a crowded place, if someone gets trampled your ass is in jail for causing that.patrickthehedgehog said:I dont see how. It's not his fault these people are rabid enough to run over eachother.

In West Bend, Wis., a 19-year-old man was injured when he ran into a pole racing with 50 others for one of 10 spots outside a Wal-Mart.
