For the rest of us that did not get one, whats your story? I am sure there was some crazy stuff that happen. Mine not so much but here is my story.
BestBuy and Target said they would not allow lines until 24 hours before. I rolled by there 40 hours before and there were already 40 people at BB and I went to Target and there was "15" Only 5 there when I got there. People would leave at 10am and come back at 5pm because they had class and everyone that was at the front of the list backed up all the people comming and going for hours at a time. They had this bullshit list they made, not by Target. When we asked Target about the list they said it did not count and Target had no real system to handing out tickets for a ps3. Just who ever is at the front of the line. It was all Bullshit, I never seen anything this bad. Basicly the biggest group of friends had control. Also one guy bought a spot in the line for 500 bucks.

Your grammar is a failure story.
Your mis-spelling of "your" is a failure story!
(this is fun)
Edit; ^^^Augh, beaten.

They'll have a PS3 box, which has to be like 20 pounds. They whack you with it, Dead Rising style, and run off into the night.
YAY I GOT PS3! NOW TIME TO PLAY _________! "Disc Read Error" *george constanza* SONYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!
That poor guy.
It was pretty easy, although I did camp out for a while in my apartment to accomplish it.
In all seriousness, though, I haven't bathed in days.
He probably tried to mod it.
"You're paying for potential!"
But seriously, did this guy turn the power off during a firmware upgrade, or was it really dead immediately out of the box?

Edit: No firmware issue. The unit won't even turn on, so the power supply is probably borked in some way.

Failed to sell some HASH meng!
God damn my lack of initiative sometimes. I didn't even need to buy one of these god damn things to exploit stupid people? All I had to do was show up early and sell my spot to some dumb ass? While the actual unit might fetch more on eBay, it's hard to ignore that kind of turn around.
I actually wonder how many people are actually buying these for themselves. I have yet to talk to anyone who was buying a system for anything other than selling online (or other sales arrangements).
But seriously, the next little while is going to be interesting. There has to be a limit to the amount of bad PR Sony can take until it finally negatively affects them.

I honestly think that if it's so new that it isn't proven reliable yet, then it shouldn't be released to consumers.
Yeah? Shit, that was quick. When's the PS4 come out?
With the amount of negative press and opinion they've generated, only one thing can balance it out and save them:

I'm not sure Nintendo will make one. They are going to buy Sony in five years, after all.

If the ps3 doesn't have a significant amount of hardware failures I will be astonished.
If that happened with my Wii (DOA) I would cry.
I had my joke all ready too.
