Default PlayStation 3 launches in U.S.

AP - Die-hard gamers and entrepreneurs shelled out $500 or more for Sony's PlayStation 3 as the console made its U.S. debut early Friday. Many had camped out for days without knowing if they'd be going home empty-handed.

Yeah...I read other stories about people camping out. I remember I read this article about the time before the PS3 came out in Japan--people from all over the world went to Japan (Tokyo) to get their hands on the console. But because there was so many people, a lot of people had to go home disappointed.

I'm amazed at the prices it's selling for on ebay and the like. I would love to get my hands on one of those and sell them off :P

Many people waited for this where I live. People started to camp out 2 days before it was released. I don't think I will be getting a PS3 until March, but right now I want the Wii. I waited outside night 2 days ago and went home empty handed.

I just asked two different people at my local Wal-Mart about when the next shipment would come in and I could tell they had no idea. The first guy told me around Christmas and the next one said in Spring. Looks like nobody knows exactly when the next shipments will be in. I keep hearing they are going to ship 500,000 units before Christmas, but there's no way that is going to be enough.
