On Thursday morning approximately 50 customers were lined up outside the Wal-Mart in West Bend. The customers were waiting to purchase Sony Playstation 3 game consoles.

At 7 a.m. an assistant manager of Wal-Mart announced to the waiting customers that the store anticipated getting only 10 of the game consoles. The game consoles are first available for sale at 12:01 a.m. this Friday.

The assistant manager explained he was going to put 10 chairs out, and the first 10 customers to get to the chairs would be eligible to purchase the game consoles when they go on sale.

The assistant manager then lined up the 10 chairs outside the store and directed the waiting customers to another area outside.
He then gave a signal for the customers to run to the chairs.

As the customers ran to the chairs a 19-year-old male ran into a pole and struck his head injuring himself. The 19-year old was conveyed to an area hospital where he is being treated.

Chris Friedrich was one of the 10 people to reach the chairs but he was also hurt.

"I went flying in there. I got shoved in my seat I hit my head. I bruised up my knee pretty bad."

The matter is being investigated, but there is no current evidence of any criminal activity.

Just imagine what Japan or Korea is going through. 500 units. 200,000 people in wanting.

Yeah...oookay. I read the thing about the pregnant chick being in labor.
You know, as blasphemous as this may sound, it's just a toy. People who
are willing to endure all of that really need to get bubblegum in their
pubes. Then remove them with tweezers, let it grow in, and put bubblegum
on the new pubes.

Man... Our store got in a grand total of 4 of these things: 3 were pre-sales. However, the four consisted of 2 of the 20 and 2 of the 60 GB hard drives... All the presales were for 60. When our doors opened yesterday, there was a line leading out into our parking lot. We had at least 10 people come in and say they lost their receipt or their presale ticket. And this was all before 11am (store opened at 10am).

Yeah... insane... We aren't even allowed to sell the extra of the PS3 until all the presales are accounted for or until Sunday. Whichever cines first.

I would like to remark that it doesn't take much to bring out stupidity.

Blah.
