If you don't have a PS3 pre-order yet (or if it got voided), then your salvation lies in lining up and trying to hope beyond all hope that you get one come launch. Seems like some people have learned from what happened in Japan.

If you've seen the long lines during their launch, then it must have occurred to you that camping out hours - no, days - prior to the console's release would be inevitable. And quite frankly, at this time, you might already be late because the camp out lines have already started!

For the Circuit City at Rockville, MD, the first person on the queue came there on 7 p.m., Monday as a promise to his son (aaaw, talk about family love). We don't know how many people are now in the line, but Fox 5's Will Thomas reports that there are already 150 of them there.

Zoinks, Scoob! Is there any hope for some of us to get a console without all this hassle? Of course, there's always going to be the option of waiting until next year or something, so that stocks could replenish themselves. But, duh, we know some of you guys wouldn't want to end up having a PS3-less Christmas.
