The PlayStation 3 came out last week and the news was dominated by reports of shootings, robberies and stabbings...
Here's the true story of a group of gamers...
- led by a railroad engineer named 'Angel'
- fed by an investment banker who bought himself a spot in line
- and brought together by pirated DVD's and touch football.
While everyone else was struggling, they got organized and kept their cool.
This is a full-on photo-essay about what went right at a PS3 launch campout in Chicago.

includes pics from another campout just up the road that DIDN'T go so well...

You missed the rather miniscule bandwagon by a week.

"Sullivan County Prosecutor Bob Springer said he plans to charge Moss and accomplice DUSTIN FAGG, 19, with felony robbery. "
HAHAHAHAH No wonder he resorted to crime.

Fuck Angel colon in his colon.
If I was there and someone tried to tell me where to shit I would have popped everyone in line. Utopian gamers paradise? fuck you it was a facist regime. AND your precious fucking leader the train driver was in it to profiteer from selling other PS3's on ebay.
And he roped his fucking wife in to stand in line for $200. She gave her daughter to her parents for a week for $200?
Why was no hidden101 fruit thrown at these people?
