You gotta love the pimp outfit, though I think they should have pimp-slapped it around a bit before taking the sledge to the thing.

My favorite part: A toss up between the distance cries of dismay during the smashing and the angry, smiling man calling the two douches. Sweet. Brian Crecente

The masked gunmen, one armed with a handgun, the other with a shotgun, confronted the line of 15 to 20 people about 3 a.m. and demanded their money. After the robbery and shooting the two fled and the victim was taken to a local hospital. His condition was unknown today.

Good thing they didn't try to take on that Colorado Best Buy line, they would have been shanked, or tackled into next week. Brian Crecente

They lay, side-by-side, stretched out in sleeping bags that cover them from head-to-toe, just their ashen and weary faces are visible.

There's a boom box sitting nearby, softly playing some non-descript music. At the front of the line is a red sign, it says they are getting eight 60GB PS3s.

They group laugh and point to one guy when I ask which one of them isn't getting the console. "I'm sharing it with him," the singled-out guy says motioning to his neighbor.

They seem exhausted. But they should be, they've been in the line since Tuesday. At one point, they say, someone came by the line and offered then $1,500 cash for a spot in their line. No one took the guy up on the offer.

"You can make a lot more on eBay," one of the line-waiters said. Brian Crecente

Things are getting prickly at the Best Buy near Denver.

Some really big guy just walked by with a handful of screw drivers and football helmet. Other people are racing by on Best Buy carts.

It's cold and the people at the back of the line are drunk. D R U N K. And other things, likely.

There are about 45 people in line for about 38 systems. Earlier in the day the line Nazis went down the line and inked numbers on everyone's wrist.

But the numbers, strangely, didn't add up hours later. Probably not that strange since the big-ass guy wearing the wife-beater who thought the line was janky was drunk off his gord when he started mouthing off.

People have retreated to their tents and tables, poked their heads back into their North Face jackets.

Some Lone Tree cops just swung buy, they're working the crowd, making sure everyone knows not to start shit. My money's on them not realizing that someone in the crowd has three shivs.

And it's only 11 p.m.

I'm off to Circuit City. Though I'll be keeping an ear to the police radio for Best Buy Lone Tree. Brian Crecente

In this time of Playstation 3 violence and line-waiting, gamers should come together. 360, PS3, Wii, we're all just in it for the games, so why not go out and do a random act of kindness, like reader Jimmy Canuck.

JC decided to deliver cups of hot chocolate to his local line-waiters.

Reports have been coming in all day about problems with violence in the line-up's for the PS3. One look at Kotaku and you'll see everything you need to - four injured with BB guns in Kentucky, rioting outside of a Wal-Mart in Wisconsin, rioting inside of a Wal-Mart in California - and we've still got a day to go. Despite all of this, I had to pop into my local Best Buy this morning and saw about a dozen fanboys and one nice grandma huddled under plastic tarps and tents to keep themselves out of the freezing rain. So I drove across the parking lot to Tim Horton's and brought them all back hot chocolate.

I thought about writing "Buy a Wii instead" on the bottoms of all the cups, but by the time I thought of it they were already full of delicious chocolately goodness.

It's an easy thing to do, especially if there aren't too many line campers in your area - so on your way home from work today stop by your local PS3 line-up and do something nice.. After all, these people might be trampled to death at any moment.

If you do something kind (no, jumping someone with a PS3, beating their face into a pulp and taking their console isn't kind) email us you're story so we can post it.

A Random Act of Kindness Today for the PS3 Folks [Jimmy Canuck]

According to a television station, a group of PS3 line-waiters got angry when they were told they could no longer wait inside a Wal-Mart for the PS3 and would have to go outside instead. The group ran through the store knocking everyone and everything in their path over.

Sheriff's deputies were called and the store temporarily shut down to restore order.
