Shootings, muggings, rioting = successful launch

We in Europe have to wait until March 7 before we can get robbed.

The Australians have to wait too. Gives me more time for me to get ready to laugh at those standing in line. Pre-order suckers.

Anyway as for Launch Titles meh. The launch titles do not equate how well "any" console will succeed. Otherwise the X360 wouldn't be out until Halo 3 rocked up. I'm probably one of the few people who want a PS3 purely for homebrew and the coding of said homebrew.

As for the rushing/trampling of those who fell over etc. I would have thought as a store selling this item you'd simply take the details of the first however many people showed up (stock dictating) and give them a call to come pick it up when it was able to be sold. No rushing, no commotion, no dead people littering aisle 5.

Alright, any better?

Since Vegeta likes to take things way too serious (his seriousness level is over nine thousand), here's my real opinion: it's sad that people have to mug and/or kill for money.

What about hitmen?! They need to make a living to you know! :|

But seriously, this is pretty sickening... lets blame sony.

LOL.

Seriously, I have never ever waited in line for anything to buy.

 

[Darkwolf]

You waited in a one person line to be born... or mabye when you were processed AFTER you were born... OR MABYE YOU WERE NEVER BORN AT ALL!

We certainly haven't come very far from the caves...

Yes, no information on the internet under any circumstances is allowed to be taken seriously, we must always laugh at it no matter what, because it's on the internet and that magically changes the facts, peoples opinions, and everyone's morals or ethics.

Sorry, but the moment you use "magically" in any sort of argument, you immediately make it impossible for anyone to take you seriously

But yeah, damn. And stuff.

Edit - Also, saying things like "people are stupid" and "we suck" immediately makes you either emo or stupid. You are people, yes? Did you have anything to do with this specific turn of events? No? Then kindly get off your high horse and shutthehellup. Just cause you're the one saying it doesn't make you immune to it somehow.

I would have taken a gun with me, and held my PS3 hostage until I got home.
"Alright, one more step and the PS3 gets it!"

It was by 4 or 5 black guys. (I am black myself, incase someone thinks i am racist). As i picked up my reserve at 10 am this morning at my eb games inside the mall. I walked outside and saw about 5 guys. I walked past them and they got up and followed me they were waiting for me to get to my car, but i knew something was up and tried to run back inside the mall for safety. Being too slow(carrying the PS3 and games) the surronded the door. (no police nor security in sight and otherjust walked by not careing). They try and grab the PS3 out of my hands and say "Give me that **** I didnt and a struggle broke out after much punchs to the head and ribs i feel over the sidewalk and into the road pleaing for help.....

I live a few minutes from this mall...its where I go when I go to the mall. Its pretty upscale, in a good section of town, and is not the sort of place you associated with random people trying to steal stuff from you in the parking lot. I'm really amazed to hear about it.
