How to get a Sony PS3 without waiting in line?

November 13th, 2006 by seymour

If you’re into computer games (or your kids are), you probably know that this Friday is one of the most anticipated days of the year. For everyone else, I’ll give you a hint why it’s so important: it’s not because it’s the 18th anniversary of the ridiculous Star Wars Holiday Special, nor because it is Slovakia’s Struggle for Freedom and Democracy Day. It’s the day Sony’s $600 Playstation 3 is released in the U.S.

I’m not sure why, but there’s something about the new Playstation that drives people to act irrationally to buy one. For example, to ensure they receive one on game day, thousands will:

  • Camp out outside local electronics stores, possibly for days (or stalk the perimeter for stores like Best Buy that call the police on campers)
  • Pay $1500 (!!!) or more on eBay
  • Try to find someone in Japan who already has one and is willing to sell it to them (yeah right)

OK, so what if you want one and don’t like those options? Maybe you can employ this pirate trick:

Or … just wait a few weeks (like the rest of us) until the second shipment arrives. Personally, I’m waiting for the XBOX 720 to arrive in 2013 ;)

    Over-priced, over-hyped, under-performanced. So what’s new with Sony?

    Good God, those folks need to get a life! Do something worthwhile with their time! Like … sit in front of the computer all day blogging.

    Now that would be cool!

    I heard that the controller installs a rootkit in your hand
