er...

Let's see if they manage something alike tomorrow morning in akiba.

I saw the 10 minute high speed video of the line to get in the Ginza Apple store the first day they opened. The video was moving at least at double speed, and it took almost 10 minutes to show the entire line.

It's a bit better than camping outside the door for days in my opinion :)

Wow another ps3 price drop cool! On the 600 dollar version! Man 300 to go!

Some one said it best why even luanch the thing if your only going to have 5 per store. It actualy will cause negative reaction when every one is playing the wii having fun while you go home to your $600 grill that has no perfect score GOW on it.

There will be no blood shedd ethier becuse the first reviews for the thing are worst than last gen. Here to hoping Resistence can beat GOW perfect 10...LOL

]]> <![CDATA[PS3 Japan Launch Line Watch: Empty!]]> why camping out if the way to buy a ps3 is to win a lottery? most jap' retailers will do that, however there are still some having first come/first have tactic. just get ready for some bloody cat fight in front of those.
Some will have a big surprise when they'll learn the open price ^^

]]> <![CDATA[PS3 Japan Launch Line Watch: Empty!]]> Wow, I wonder if there's an IGN article about the Wii preorder lineup in Japan? :-) Ahh but I jest. I can't imagine why anyone would line up anyway, unless they're doing it a month ahead of time. 128 million people, 80,000 PS3's = 0.0625% chance. I'll even be statistically invalid but more realistic: you have to fight with 1000 other eligible people for a single PS3 on launch day. Hmmmmmmm...

]]> <![CDATA[PS3 Japan Launch Line Watch: Empty!]]> Well, since Sony decreased the system numbers to an even more microscopic number, the Japanese just assumed that almost no PS3s would reach them and people have already found ways to get dibs on what few there are.

I mean, with the last reduction numbers, the Japanese are getting what.. like 20? Not 20 thousand, mind you.. just twenty.

]]> <![CDATA[PS3 Japan Launch Line Watch: Empty!]]> Why form a line and camp out at a store thats only getting 2 consoles?

]]> <![CDATA[PS3 Japan Launch Line Watch: Empty!]]> Maybe the Japanese aren't passionate about their video games?

I guess I'm too immature...as I found this very funny.

AlteredBeast

]]> <![CDATA[PS3 Japan Launch Line Watch: Empty!]]> Some of the most extreme lines and campouts ever have been in Japan, maybe they're just being realistic about their chances of getting one.

robo2112

]]> <![CDATA[PS3 Japan Launch Line Watch: Empty!]]> why would there be a need for a line that big, when the store is only gonna have 5?! its kinda pointless i guess.

Graedus

]]> <![CDATA[PS3 Japan Launch Line Watch: Empty!]]> hahahhaha, silly rabbit, you should be watch the line for the Wii, I guess it will right next the 24/7 DS line...

]]> <![CDATA[PS3 Japan Launch Line Watch: Empty!]]> I think Camping is uniquely American. It doesn't go on much here in the UK either. No one camped for a Wii preoorder for example.

cakeordeath

]]> <![CDATA[PS3 Japan Launch Line Watch: Empty!]]> Maybe they all know that they have no chance of getting one. Or, maybe PS3 is the next Xbox for Japan.
