News from the Great White North:Even in Canada people are dying to get their hands on the PS3. I took a few minutes after work (I am selling these people their PS3s in the morning, I work at this store) to ask them a few questions and give them encouraging words while they brave the below freezing tempatures.
It’s a mixed bag, ebayers and gamers. Overall though they were a good lot to have lined up for our small little store.
By 5 PM, we had a nice tight knit group of hardy campers all laid out in lawnchairs, all huddled in … mentions of 8 layers and begging me to run an extension cord out the front door as the temperature sunk to a nippy 25F. They were all well behaved and planned to share the warmth of their cars to keep from freezing overnight.
I bid them goodnight and quickly jogged up to the local big box, Futureshop, where they had 12-13 PS3s up for grabs. They even had little power backup boxes. They weren’t very keen on talking to me, so I took some photos and called for a ride home.
8 Hours and I’ll see those same 8 people, at the end of a long journey.
