any ninjas ever que days outside a shop for game releases?

Post by dubstepper » Sun Nov 11, 2012 1:35 am

just wondered if any ninjas ever waited outside a shop overnight or even longer waiting to be 1 of the first to buy the game? if so what game??
see a thing in paper the other day bout a guy camping outside the shop for bout 5 days before the release of the new call of duty game to make sure he buys it first.
i find it fascinating and a bit crazy considering how cold it gets at night sometimes. to be honest when i was proper into games at age of 14 if some1 surgested it i may have camped outside a shop for a certain game. i remember when i fractured 3 toes practicly hopped along to china town when i was 15 to buy a pirate us copy of metal gear solid. i was in agony but it was worth it to get it months before the uk release. ended up making bout 50 copies for friends and mates in school.
sold em for a tidy 50pence a copy :)

That guy waits for every single Nintendo device. He got the first 3DS too.

Tickets.

I queued all night for a T in the Park ticket 4 years ago, that was due to them selling out quickly online and in shops, not to be the first! Massive queue that year, maybe over 1000 people

aint really got any more, apart from 1 day when i was selling a few games round near where i live and this guy see what i was doing and came over n started asking for
games. so i went home made copies of games he wanted and instead of money he gave me weed. well not weed but ash. was only 15 so that was a sweet deal.
who is oldschool and remembers bout the disc swapping on ps1 to make pirate games play without even havin console chipped? i felt like paul fucking daniels.
used to sell pirate games to 1 of my teachers aswell. he used to give me £10 a pop.
not really pirating but still, 1 day my mate asked me to go to argos to buy a ps1. so we go buy it go home and he starts unscrewing it and i'm like what the fuck you doing. he said my lens is fucked so i'm going swap this brad new lens with my old then take they new now dodgy ps1 back to argos for refund. thats exactly what he did. i was shitting myself to be honest thinking they would somehow catch us out. but after taking it back they keept going in and out back of the store and ended up giving my mate a full refund :4: oh back on subject any1 else camp outside a store for days waiting to buy game/fone ect??

I had a cheat cartridge that plugged in the back of the PS1 and it let you play copied games.

My dad used to come home from work with new games all the time.
