There are two people queuing for a PS3. The first one is a woman. All the other people in this picture are journalists and PR people who were probably expecting a better turn out, plus security guards who can't believe how easy the job is as all they have to do is take the names of a few meek writers who want to take photos for their blogs.

We didn't bother interviewing her, as she's obviously (a) a friend of someone at Sony, (b) a friend of someone at Virgin, (c) a COMPLETE FUCKING LUNATIC, or (d) a homeless crack addict glad of a warm place to sleep tonight where she won't get raped. The rape will instead happen at midnight on Thursday when she hands over her credit card to buy a PS3.

EXPECT MORE UPDATES ON THE LAUNCH EXTRAVOGANZA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

A friend based in the UK whose internet I get patched through in order to get online told me that his pre-ordered is guaranteed 00:00 midnight on the 23rd, he also told me that he was called by HMV (a big chain of Music/DVD store's) and told that he has 7 days to pick it up, so it seems that the UK has alot of stock. Most people seem to have pre-ordered and It's way too early to camp.

Apparently people in the UK have tried what the American's did with Ebay and have ended up selling PS3s for less than they bought them :wank:

Why are you posting news that isn't really news, that site is a fanboy site.
And so you know People in the UK have been selling UK from the UK for many months now, it doesn't mean that the said PlayStation 3 is a Pal region machine !!

The Playstation 3 is officially out on the 23rd of March it's still the 22nd !!

Well that was a waste of my precious time.

Don't post stupid shit with made up forced news please !!

NickSCFC if that site is where you get your news stories then dont bother posting it.

A sense of humor is needed when something funny is posted Nick. That website is absolute garbage, and always will be, regardless of whatever console they discuss.

What was posted is certainly not funny.

Someone needs to make a proper EU Launch coverage thread and not this advert for a crappy website.

The only reason that I don't find this funny is because it's been done to death. I've lost count how many websites take the piss out of launches by posting pics of only a few people in the queue.

But whatever floats your boat UK Resistance, I'm not the only person that doesn't give a shit about your "CONTROVERSAL HEADLINES/ARTICLES CUS WE NEED HITS LOLOL!!!1" website.

UKResistance is a humour site for god sake, don't take it 1% seriously.

I bet you those guys already have their PS3s.

Actually I think UKResistance is hilarious.

I know what they are doing is 'done to death' but because you know they are fucking about, it's actually funny..For example:

or (d) a homeless crack addict glad of a warm place to sleep tonight where she won't get raped. The rape will instead happen at midnight on Thursday when she hands over her credit card to buy a PS3.
ZING! and haha.

Beautiful.

Speaking of trash (didn't want to create a new thread for this). Ladies and Gentlemen I present to you the worst reivew in gaming history. This guy has such hate for Resisatance that it's almost unbelievable. Got it from Team Xbox.

This is the second time this game has been reviewed. The first time it was scored 7/10. They went back in and this time gave it a 6/10. WTF?

Yup, read that today, couldn't really believe it. Will it stop me from buying it? Hell no.

I could've sworn I read on QJ that some retailers were delivering pre-orders, or that a large number of PS3s would be delivered to those that pre-ordered in order to keeps lines small? Can anybody confirm?

It's not "Chad Warden" funny. It really comes across as an "Uber jaded gamer that can't be satisfied by anything, so they'll speak on a level created solely by them in order to ceaselessly feed their misguided egos" type of funny.*





























































*isn't funny at all
