Wow. Hopefully the kid isn't gonna die, that'd be really sad. And this would go down as the worst console launch in history for having a fatality associated with it, Sony's stock price would plummet, politicians would have something to point to regarding correlations between real-world violence and video games... NO good has come of any of this crap.MarvinTacoma said:One person shot while waiting in the PS3 line. Sorry if it's already been posted or something.

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.
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.
And they knew it was mouse urine because...? I don't think I ever want to meet someone that actually has such a finely tuned deduction process when it comes to mouse urine.MegaTen said:I heard that someone people at the Best Buy in my town had balloons filled with mouse urine thrown at them.

Star Tribune said:An assistant manager announced to a crowd of about 50 people that the store was only going to receive about 10 of the Sony PlayStation 3 game consoles and the store official placed 10 chairs outside of the store, police said.
At the signal, the customers were told to run to try to occupy one of the chairs to be able to buy the system at 12:01 a.m. on Friday.
A 19-year-old man ran into a pole and struck his head, injuring himself. He was taken to the hospital for treatment, police said.

Yes, in YOUR opinion ;-)speculawyer said:What does he have there? It looks like Gears of War and Splinter Cell: DA. Good point made . . . those two titles beat any two titles from the PS3 launch line-up.
WHITEHALL TWP., Pa. November 17, 2006 - A robbery in the parking lot of the Lehigh Valley Mall is one of a string of incidents across the country marring the release of the PlayStation 3 game system.
Whitehall Township Police say a 17-year-old male was exiting the mall with two friends after purchasing the system.
As they got into their vehicle, a gunman approached and demanded the PS3. They handed over the game and the suspect fled on foot.
The victims believe the suspect got into a 2000 or 2001 Acura.
Across the country, violent incidents have been reported. Two armed thugs tried to rob a line of people waiting for the new PlayStation 3 game system to go on sale in Putnam, Conn. early Friday and shot one man who refused to give up his money.
About 30 miles away, another shopper was beaten and robbed of his new Playstation 3 just minutes after he bought it at a store in Manchester, police said...
In the Manchester attack, the shopper told police five men surrounded and beat him as he left the Shoppes at Buckland Hills with the new Playstation.
