PS3 Launch Stories
75
The PS3 launched this morning in North America. Many of you have been standing in line for hours (some even days) to get your hands on one of the 400 000 PS3s that Sony have shipped to retailers. Though recent reports suggest that the number of PS3s available on launch day will only be 200 000. To make things even worse eBayers have been
paying homeless people to stand in line
for days making it even harder for real gamers to get their hands the much anticipated next-gen console from Sony.

What are you willing to go through to get a Sony PlayStation 3? We went to the Best Buy store in Burbank where people already started lining up eight days before the launch. One guy quit his job to stand in line, while another won't have enough money to buy an engagement ring for his girlfriend.
Homless wait in line for PlayStation 3
A man drops off homeless people at a local target so they can buy him some PS3s he can later sell on eBay for $2000 a piece.
