The shame is when they all try to get in the store at once and trample people to death. I just hope they'll be more civilized during a nuclear fallout or famine...probably not
wow well put together video zen...great interview technique as well!!! at the moment the main leading consoles are xbox 360, playstation 3 and the nintendo wii. in my opinion the xbox 360 is the better. ~ ezra
I think that it's absolutely ridiculous to wait out in the cold just for a piece of square plastic to come out. It's as though they're waiting for the world to end! ._O I mean come on, the console will be extremely expensive, extremely basic and it'll be stocked all over the world in just a few months. Will most likely come crashing down in price just like the Nintendo Gamecube, so why waste time and money on something like that?
I know you probably wont read this but please don't film and drive. It's not safe. I know you are in a car park (parking lot?) But still people can step out of nowhere and if your concentration isnt totally focused you can easily hit them. I hate to sound like a paranoid weirdo but it's just something that bugs me.
@stingsdeathdrop people are getting road head, doing drugs, texting, and filming while driving and stay within the lines. Grow a pair and get a license
People are freaking crazy. I stood in line at an ace hardware store on black friday for about 45 minutes to get my wife a 5 gig mp3 player... Those folks across the street at Best Buy who'd been there all night were nuts. Ace didn't open til 7. All the freaks went to the stores that opened at 5 so I got in line at Ace pretty easy before all the nutso 5:00 ers got there.
It's a totally new way to play games where you're not just pushing buttons but actually moving the controller around and actually performing the actions in the game.
In a sword fighting game, you'd hold the controller exactly like it were the handle of a sword and swing it around to chop up the video game enemies, with the controller translating your exact motions into the game.
This is the new big thing and everyone wants to try it out.
i think it is wrong for them to get in line to buy one if they are only doing it to make money, because if a kid really wants one for christmas now they won't be able to get it.
Very nice vid Zen ;) Very cool concept. I wonder if WalMart allows Rainbow Gatherin's. I'll wait till I can find one at a flea market :)) Peace & Health to you & yours
This was a great video, I enjoyed the interviews. I also liked the look of the film. Keep that hat on, your poor head is going to freeze! Dare I say you looked handsome? =o)
My friend Sammy, lined up outside a Toys'R'Us at 11 pm Saturday, he was 6th in line and managed to get a Wii along with "Zelda: The Twilight Princess" and 2 extra controlers. He showed me it, and it looks very cool and you should definetly check it out. I already have a 360 and a DS, and I plan on getting the Wii right after I buy a PSP. As for the PS3, I think its too expensive right now (at least for myself). Anyway, very cool vid Zen, as always, and you should definetly check out the Wii.
its not crazy waiting out like that, a good friend of mine waited for about 65 hours to get a ps3 (he did get it though) he also had reserved wii months before so he got that too
I always think its funny when people camp out to buy anything like Games Consoles, DVD's and CD's, I mean it's not like they're only making 1000 of them! I'd rather go without this close to Christmas and wait for the January Sales :-).
SIGH!!! So much hoopla and hype over unimportant things. All these people would do better to take the money and donate to homeless shelters, food banks and other charities and just play their games on their computers instead of contributing to all the hype and nonsense.
Awesome reporting zen! And i see you either own a concorde an lhs, or a New yorker. I'd recognize that dashboard anywheres! HAHA. Awesome! Good choice in cars dude. And I agree I wouldnt be sitting in that weather either!
You can find the Wii in stores later on. Like every other console. Camping out is pointless because the stores will be packed with those games some time later 2-3 months.
what i love the most of this video is people waiting there getting cold [not say another word] and they dont even know what they buying :) way to funny.
that was amazing zen, you should really start thinking about doing documentary about something. I think people would talk to you. think about that. that was great.
It's what they're raised with, though. I know a married couple that 'bonds' over World of Warcraft at night (I could think of much better things, but, shrug, I'm not married, what do I know?) Weird...~Snipe
Awesome video Zen. I didn't know anything about this because I've been living under a rock so.. very informative. My first reaction was.. "hey that looks like I'm being tricked into actually performing physical exercise.." but now I think it's cool. I never did understand the "console camping" geeks. I can wait a few days. :)
i personally think its nuts.. but if you think about it people used to sleep outside for concerts.. thats a few hours of live music... this is an object and hours and hours of entertainment.. so i guess its not THAT crazy if youre really really into gaming.
I played a truck racing game on the WII a few days before its release cause i got friends at game crazy and at first it was weird steering with the remote. But after getting used to it, it was fun.
Kewl, I was kind of curious about the WII, or whatever its called lol, and I could afford one of em, lol, I agree to cold to get one now lol, have fun Zen. They sold me on the new controlers lol
yea i think its crazy how the play station 3 is 600 dollars that alone is very expensive. and then they end up selling it on ebay for anwhere from 1000 too 3500 dollars thats just crazy. good video zen :-)
Thanks for the on the spot reporting ZA, great job! I'm not much into video games anymore, but I have to say that Nintendo Wii, with it's new controls, seems very cool and I may just have to check it out (like you, after the buzz dies down). Keep up the great work, be well, and have a great week and a happy turkey day. Thanks!
