Ah, with the release of the PS3, ppl would expect a great rush and excitement for the new console..
But wat they dont expect is the desperation and the most-dangerous thing some pl would do to get these console..
For examle, there is a report that a guy got his jaw dislocated when he wanted to get a PS3.. Click here for the video..
And I searched further and found found out that somep ppl got mugged and their PS3 stolen after they had just bought them.. Some ppl also turned violent when onli 8 consoles were sold at one shop..
I don't know why stores allowed people to camp out like that. That news article mentions a Best Buy in Boston that handed out tickets to the first people to show up, so they could go home and be safe and warm until the console was released. Seems to me like the smarter way to handle it.
I mean, people going retarded over hot items in short supply is nothing new. Remember Tickle Me Elmo?
So at this point, if we know that the public at large turns into idiotic savages over product shortages like this, shouldn't the stores step up and take some initiative? Some responsibility? Perhaps help curb the retardation before it takes hold?
Then again, I don't know. Maybe having someone get gunned down while waiting in line outside your store is just great for business.
Congratulations to anyone that survived the cold and went home with a PS3 though. Not for your ability to now play... well any of the "meh" launch titles, but because you're fucking hardcore. Rock on.
