As the PlayStation's arrival moves ever closer to American shores, let us not forget the brave men and women who risk losing their jobs and the rest of their lives to Sony's next-generation hardware. Yes folks, we're talking about the people who are standing in line for a shot at the PS3.

You might love them or hate them, and you might not know if they're buying the PS3 to use or to hoard for future eBay use, but they're all there, waiting in line. Worse still for those fellows who were paid to wait in line, because everyone hates them for trying to do something to buy food. Now that Japan's launch woes are over, it's time to focus on the American launch, which is also known to many retailers as an extra "Black Friday" for them to suffer the emotional battering that comes with irate parents and kids with no sense of patience.

We talked about Fox News' coverage of the Rockville, Maryland queue at Circuit City, complete with ridiculous reporting from inside a tent. Now, let's take a look at New York's Union Square, where a line is also up for the launch of the console in Circuit City. Pray for these souls, and lets hope a riot doesn't happen over a console. Don't forget to thank Donnymandible on YouTube for the upload as well.

Why I thought retailers were only going to get about 9 consoles per store, so y are there at least 100 people?

Ummm, how do these people think they are going to get a console. Every store here in houston has about 200 people lined out front! What a bunch of idiots.

 » Wow theres just too few people willing to pay for the PS3

*sarcasm*

I guess the PS3 wont be a big seller, People didnt line up 1 week early to get a PS3. Most Stores are reporting that they will be able to fully satisfy the pre-order list. Some even say that playstaion 3's will still be on the shelf by the end of friday.

No one seems to be willing to spend 600 bucks on a console. On ebay, sellers are in a riot that playstation 3s are getting bids not much more then retail price.

*end*

This is just the beginning, proof, that the Playstation 3 is more wanted then the Xbox360. Always has been, always will be.
