Wii and PS3 Camp-Out Guide

An anonymous reader writes "A Wordpress blogger wrote up a guide to camping out on launch day. From the article: 'This is a download of my experience of over twenty-plus years of gaming and having been a part of six console launch days. No, I've never had to stand on line without knowing that my system was reserved. But I've spoken to enough people and accumulated enough knowledge to share. And with that said, here's my list of guidelines to insure that your camp-out in front of Best Buy, Target, Circuit City or Toys R Us is safe and not in vain.' Good luck to all the readers waiting outside for a PS3 or Wii next week." A lot of it is common-sense, but he has some good advice on pre-planning.

This man didn't lose a few hundred dollars, and he didn't set the reserve for less than he paid for it. The receipt is in Canadian dollars, and the auction itself is in US dollars. On a second note, who knew the PS3 was pushing a thousand Canadian bucks. You know it's expensive when you've almost broken four digits. :)
