Some more camper pics at stores!!

[Danman]

Decided to stop at the Best Buy here in Orlando after work. I wanted to see if BB released any Wii games today.

Low and behold.....I see the following.

Pic 1
Pic 2

I think there was probably around 30 people in line. I also saw a mother with her 10 year old daughter. They were probably 5th or 6th in line. :Q

By the way, from what I heard; these people have been there since yesterday. Unbelievable.

I also went to the Target in this same shopping plaza and they had about 15 people camping out there. As I went inside, I heard employees talking about how people that are camping are drinking beer and alcohol. I guess they didn't like that. :laugh:

On the beer thing, is that legal? The only thing I could think of is that you can't drink within so many feet of a bar....correct?

Edit: Answered my own question. Open container law. Derr...
Edit 2: Changed the title since someone complained.

Some areas may have open container laws, which would let cops slap a fee on those people, I think. I could be wrong, though.

I don't think they are buying to keep them.

rofl what a bunch of losers. If they want PS3 so much, can't they wait 3-4 months before sony satisfies demand and maybe drops price by $50-100?

When you can buy a PS3 for 2-3k on ebay, I don't think money is a factor for these people.

I wonder if they're going to try to buy two, and if Best Buy would let them? I hope they have cash so the daughter can pay for one herself.

LMAO you're a absolute fool if you think sony will drop 50-100 in a matter of months.

To me, it looked like it was a bunch of younger college students. I'm assuming they are doing it for the eBay advantage. I seriously doubt any of these kids out there really had 5 to 6 large ones to drop on a console.

They're giving out tickets to the people in line.

Also, I just went by BestBuy to get Family Guy Season 4 and saw a nice line of people camping out in front.

I honestly hope BB would say no, but who knows. I heard reports of TRU giving pre-orders for Wiis to 6 year olds. :disgust:

is it really worth all that trouble for a few hundred to a thousand dollar profit? invest in the goddam stock market

these people make me sick

whoever throws eggs at these campers, :thumbsup: to them (no im not telling people to do it, nor am i going to do it myself)

 

[EKKC]

i dont understand the concept of camping out either, what's to stop the persons in front of you to bring another person into the line and cut in front of you and say "he was here, he went to the bathroom"

I was saying that the people who want it THAT bad either wait in line, or buy it on ebay for 2 grand. I mean, you are more then likely to catch some moron on ebay who will buy it for 4x the price you paid. These are the people who don't care if it's going to drop $50-$100 within the next couple months, because they can afford and/or are dumb enough to pay that much for it.

This isn't about the Playstation 3, I could care less about that. This is about the people that are camping outside of stores. :roll:

i dont like the idea or people reselling consoles at an inflated price.
hell i hate retailers for forcing bundles on you, so think about my hatred towards these resellers (if you're camping out to get one for yourself, that's fine)

famous.
last.

[Indolent]

That looks like there's more than 20 people in line already. Those people are going to be pissed that they waited that long and still don't get one.
