Beretta55 is on a distinguished road
I hope everyone is/was careful when they got in line for a PS3. Reports of PS3's getting stolen is starting to circulate, a store in California was robbed by armed men and they took some PS3's and 360's, then Thursday morning three guys were robbed near a target at gunpoint. This is extremely ridiculous, most are getting it for themselves or perhaps significant others and these people are just coming in and robbing them of money and a system, it's sad. Although I guess people buying them and selling them for an arm and a leg on eBay are also bad in a sense. My friend was going to buy two PS3's and have my mother and I list it up on Ebay, I recently decided not too. He didn't have the chance to go nab two PS3's due to him being too late but I'd just be depriving someone of a system actually want to play for personal profit if he did, wouldn't sit well with me.

I hope this crap doesn't become rampant when the Wii releases in two days, mugging happened for the 360, is starting to happen with the PS3 and I hope Wii doesn't follow the same course. Since I plan on staying in line for a Wii at a Wal-Mart midnight launch. I hope the Nintendo Wii line up at Wal-Mart on the midnight launch isn’t swamped. Some people here camped out forty-eight hours for a PS3; I just don’t have that level of commitment for something that is basically electronic parts in plastic casing. I’ll go down to the Wii midnight launch around seven or eight on the 18th. Plus it’s damn cold here so no way I’m going to stay out long.
