Standing in line for what?....PS3...?

So...i was talking to Carmen on the phone on my way back home from work yesterday. We were discussing PS3 thing that is coming out on Friday. I don't know a thing about video games? Sorry video game fans!
Anyway, she wanted to know if I would like to wait in line for one of those! As we were talking, I was on the service road off of 67 and could see Best Buy building. On the sidewalk, I could see several people bundled up protecting themselves from the cold and windy weather. As I drove up closer I saw a group of 18 people and one orange and gray ten! Yes, a TENT! These people are serious about this video game! Wow!
I thought it was rather funny and thought I'd stop and ask them if I can take a picture. One person actually asked me who I worked for since I had my camera in hand. As I laughed...I thought...theses FOOLS waiting outside are crazy! Okay, maybe they're not fools...I was wondering who in their right mind would stand outside for a silly video game? I didn't realize that Sony makes a limited number of these systems and stores don't stock up on these as they do other merchandise. Another thing, I didn't realize ...most of these people are not going play the ----thing...they are going to sell in on e-bay! Now---crazy.... goes to the people who actually pay a good $2,000 + for theses video game systems! Makes me...think? Taking off of work a few days to make a couple of thousand dollars....nah...Hey, come on...in a couple of years they will make the PS4, then .....?
