A bunch of stupid emo kids came in to Toys R Us today to pick up their PS3's.

I guess they just turned 18, don't have a job, but their parents are rich.

They said they were just selling them on eBay.

Now here's the question, if your parents are so rich that they just give you money anytime you want. Why waste time camping outside a store to get money that your parents would've given to you anyways?

Oh and I saw some 60GB PS3 go for $19,000 on eBay. I hope it was a non-bidder.

Gainesville, TX - Reports from CAG electroslag are that a shooting took place at the local Walmart while people were waiting for the PS3 to go on sale @ midnight. He also reports that the police department is interviewing people in line, and is promising pictures. Since the topic was posted, electroslag has posted pictures showing the police outside of the Wal-Mart in Gainesville, which can be found in the links thread below.

Lexington, KY - reports from CAG Dead of Knight via GamesAreFun that a car drove past the Best Buy with someone firing from a BB gun.

Elk Grove, CA - reported by CAG Roufuss via CBS13.com of a robbery of a area Gamestop where several PS3 systems and XBox 360 systems were stolen.

Eugene, OR - reported in another thread by CAG Chacrana via KMTR News 16 of three men who were robbed at gunpoint while waiting for a PS3.

New York City, NY - reported on the Playboy Blog as well as the website of the New York Post, there have been reports of scuffles at the Sony store in Times Square while waiting on the PS3 to go on sale.

Fresno, CA - reported below by CAG MSUHitman, rioting broke out at the Best Buy in River Park (I actually have been to this store) after the crowd of 50 people waiting in line for a PS3 were told there would be only 35 units available for sale. The crowd bumrushed the store entrance according to reports from KMPH 59, forcing the store manager to flee and close the shutters blocking the entrance, then calling police. Fresno police then called the line an "unlawful gathering" and ordered the line to disperse, using batons on those who didn't obey the officer's commands. CAG zewone has posted cell phone clips detailing the experience outside when the police showed up in Scorch's thread.

Boston, MA - reported below by CAG lordwow, the Best Buy at Landmark Centre was forced to close down their midnight PS3 launch by the Boston Police Dept, citing public safety concerns and paperwork that had not been filed at the office of Mayor Thomas Menino. This is a good thing in my opinion because it prevents fellow gamers from getting hurt.

Putnam, CT - reported below by CAG Monsta Mack, Connecticut state police have confirmed one person was shot overnight at the local Wal-Mart while waiting in line to purchase the PS3. The person shot has not had his condition released to the media at this time, but it has been confirmed by the AP and WTNH.com.

Wayne County, MI - a witness account from CAG the3rdkey has stated his brother has been arrested for making threats to the staff of the local Toys R Us when said brother attempted to purchase 12 PS3s.

Englewood, OH - reported below by CAG jezebelseven. Local police are looking for two men who held up a local EB Games and took 5 PS3 units according to WHIO-7 TV.

West Bend, WI - reported by CAG MSUHitman, a customer racing to the front of a Wal-Mart to buy a PS3 was injured when he was pushed into a flagpole by another customer. Said customer is currently hospitalized with a dislocated jaw amongst other injuries, meanwhile the person who pushed the aforementioned customer was not arrested and not charged with a crime.

Manchester, CT - reported by CAG LinkinPrime, a customer who walked out of an EB Games was surrounded by five men, and then was beaten and his PS3 stolen.

Wilmington, NC - reported by CAG StingerMCK, a person who bought a PS2 from a local Walmart was surrounded by four men, who proceeded to hit him with a blunt object and stole his PS3.
