Hey, this whole lining up gig is getting serious, guys. Violent, too. We've heard of a dad lining up since Monday to secure a console for his son as promised. And then we've seen another line over at Circuit City in New York. And just now, someone hiring 50 homeless men to line up for him. And you thought you've seen it all?

At a Best Buy store, four people were shot while waiting in line, including a 27 NEWSFIRST reporter, Elizabeth Dorsett. She had been interviewing the PS3 fans when someone had opened fire on them. It was a drive-by involving BB guns and no one was seriously injured.

BBs as they might be, and not actual guns [shivers], those things still actually hurt! That kid who got creamed while lining up for Gears of War was one thing. Getting shot is quite something else entirely (even if they're just BBs). Police who are investigating the incident are on the look-out for suspects and are currently posted at the Best Buy store to protect the innocent people in line.

So, if you guys still have plans of lining up, better make sure you pack some stuff you can protect yourself with. You might have your tents, fold-out chairs, coolers, reading material, and beer. But when things get messy, don't expect to fend away the bad guys with a half-answered crossword puzzle at the back of your Reader's Digest.

 » Wow just sad

its fairly obvious this was done by an Anti-Sony person, probably some Xbox360 fanboy hoping to get a few laughs at the people waiting in line.

This is borderline, vandalizing Wikipedia is one thing, but resorting to using a BB gun is plain outrageous.

Next thing you know someone will be pulling out a real gun.

AWESOME!!!!! Serves them right for being jobless, worthless, and apparantly trash. Anyone who has an entire week to sit around outside a store deserves to be in prison!

probably poor *****heads who can't afford it. Why don't you go home and ***** your sister and take care of your son-brother you hicks, instead of hurting innocent people.

 » half of them are ebayers

half of them are ebayers, the rest are retard sony fans.

Do these people have any *****ing clue? The first 10 are the most likely to get a system. After that, Up to the next 10, maybe can get a system. And after that, it must just be a retard sony fanboy's enjoyment to stand in a *****ing line and knowing they are going home with nothing.

i r wuv ps3...caus i r soni tool...

***** sakes people. The people at the front of the line are people flippin it on Ebay. Wait like every other customer that Sony's raping and wait till they get more.

This article is funny-I bet that almost everyone clicked on it because of the title.

How were they "injured" by a BB? Minor welts? :P

Depending on the range of the gun, and where it hit the body, BB guns have been known to pierce through skin at close range.

In terms of being injured, probably a bunch of red bumps but getting hit in the head can cause major injury.
