Bashcraft's coverage continues.

Rumor has it that after Yodobashi Camera, Yamada Denki will be getting the second biggest shipment of PS3s in Osaka. And there's nobody here. 'Cept for me. And the cleaning lady.

A businessman appears, and I ask if he's waiting for the PS3. He says he is. "There's no one here."

Why?

"Everyone's lined up at Bic and Sofmap. They're going to register for those lotteries to see if they get a PS3 and then come here, I guess. The Yamada lottery is later."

And nobody, I mean nobody is here. The otaku in Den Den Town are that organized. Brian Ashcraft
