PS3 Mortal Kombat

Twisted Musical Chairs
West Bend, Wis.: Wal-Mart sure handled this one well. A crowd of 50 lined up early this morning only to learn that 10 consoles were available. A store manager placed 10 chairs by the store, pushed the crowd back and told them to run for the chairs to see who would get one. A 19-year-old fan ran into a pole instead and had to be hospitalized.


Try to take my PS3 will you? Take that!

1) Witnesses say that around 10 p.m. Thursday, around fifty people were waiting outside Best Buy (River Park) when the store manager announced that only 35 Playstation 3 units were available. At that point, the crowd made a rush for the door and the manager pulled down the shutters. Officers on scene labeled the crowd an "unlawful gathering," and, according to witnesses, they used batons on those who were being uncooperative.

2) A fight broke out at the Super Wal-Mart broke out in Palmdale, CA

3) Burbank, Calif.: People lined up since Nov. 6. Link. One guy quit his job to line up. "It wasn't a good job," he said. Another guy said the PS3 is keeping him from buying his girlfriend an engagement ring.

4) Lexington, Ky.: A drive-by BB gun shooting hits four people waiting in line at Best Buy. It's enough to send two people home, but one stays, saying, "I'd do it again, even if I get shot again."



There were lines in the Seattle area, too, but no reports of violence yet. Come Seattlelites! You guys/gals are at the top of the geek chain what gives!?
