Midnight Best Buy Launch Locations for PS3

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the fly-a-dragon-at-midnight dept.

If you're on pins and needles looking forward to November 17th, you'll be very interested to know that Kotaku has a list of Best Buy stories opening at Midnight on PS3 launch day. The list of 18 stores allowed to open at the very start of the day comes from what is apparently an internal memo. The other stores are slated to open at 8am, assuming there are no restrictions on the time they can open (if they're in a mall, for example). As a refresher for launch day fans, make sure and check out the list of launch window titles, and the accessories price list.

    What's the fun of a console launch if you don't spend all night urban camping?

    PS3 and Wii launch two days apart: That means a 4 day urban uber camping fest (or UUCF for short). An event like this only comes around once in a life time.

      "urban camping"

      I don't know about where you're from, but around here we call it "vagrancy."

    If you're on pins and needles looking forward to November 17th ...
    I bet there's a disparaging joke in there, but I'm sure there must be some people out there who want to rootkit -- er, root -- for Sony's new console. In the name of fairness, wii all should give the P$3 the benefit of the DRM^H^H^H doubt, despite the large price tag and dubious overall entertainment value... to say nothing of Sony's utter contempt for the consumer...

    So yeah! Go PlayStation 3!
  3. And then what? by realinvalidname · · Score: 2, Funny

    Maybe they chose 18 stores because they've been told to only expect 18 units to sell, and they want to spread the love.
