I was there at that launch. It was the worst experience of my life.  I started waiting on wendnesday monrning around 7. I can tell you this: 95% of the people that was just there to sell the system for a bigger profit. They lied on camera saying that they will go home and play it. They didn't. The next thing was for them is to put it on Ebay and sell it.  Also they where extreamly mean.  I'm telling you I was afraid while I was there. There where a million problems and Sony did little to do something about it. It was also poorly planed by Sony. People where skipping the line and getting their friends in.  For an example when you belive that your the 400th person in the line and your waiting in the line for two days in the cold and the rain.  In the last minute the guy infront of you bring in his 5 friends and now your 405 wich meant that your not getting a system.  And this happend a lot. When I first went there I was 170 something.  Than I became 240 and than 280.  At the end I was 341.  People who waited in line for 3-4hours got in before me. that's F*cked up. Also as I said 95% of the people weren't even gamers there.  They were just ther to re-sell the system and make a profit. They could have killed each other. After I got my system I jumped in a cab and went right home so no one can do anything to me. There was a Spanish guy right behind me and he was always making trouble and trieing to get people in fights by talking s*it. He was makeing up all kinds of rumors so people would see the situation hopeles and just leave. But the line was full of people like him. Loud mean guys who could care less about games. I fealt bad when Kaz said that we are the elite 400 who will get the PS3 first. It wasn't so.  Out of the elite 400 maybe 50 keept their systems. The rest just took away the oportunity from real gamers like my selft to make a profit.  The place where I sat was full of people like that. How I know? They told me. When I said that I'm going to keep it they said that I was crazy and they laughed on me. It was an extreamly dissapointing experience. I will never, ever do anything like this again. If Sony is going to make a PS4 than I will buy it but not at the lounch.  Did it worth it? I guess so, but it was dissapointing to see how money hungry people are.  Actually I heard that some of the first people in the line got paid just to wait there. Can you imagine that?  Also people where buying others spots.  It was a crazy time to live trough but I did it.  At 341 I've got my PS3 at lounch!!  Nice!!
