I got a call from Freeloadin' Scott Andrews (our Tokyo Game Show photog) who scoped out the Toys "R" Us in Culver City, California today, with an update on the pre-order situation. At around 3 PM, he told me that his plan to camp out for a third PlayStation 3 was cancelled. There were over a dozen people in line for the rumored seven units allocated to the store. You know what that means? No PS3 for me on 11/17.
Now comes word from Portage, Michigan, where the numbed extremities of our northern neighbors are currently tapping away on their portable of choice, dreams of $600 consoles soon to be dancing in their heads. I wish you the best of luck, gentlemen!
Now for some photo fun. Can you spot the all the hardcore gamer cliches in this pic?
Find:
- 4 white dudes (bonus point: spot the virgin!)
- 1 dragged to TRU girlfriend
- 1 Nintendo DS
- 1 Sony PSP
- 1 serving of McDonalds french fries
- 1 "fridge pack" of Mountain Dew
- 1 bag of Sour Patch Kids
- 3 fleece blankets decorated with cold-weather wildlife
Look for yours truly camping out a local Best Buy soon. Thanks for the photo, Mr. Milk!
