PS3 Launch Line Survival Guide
Well, if you've never done this before you might not know what to expect. I'm here to tell you. Get in line EARLY. I'd say 24-48 hours before launch. Okay, but what do you need to take with you while you make yourself unavailable to anyone and anything?
- Money. You don't want to do all this for nothing.
- Dry Food - snack crackers, cookies, chips. You will get hungry.
- 2-3 Bottle of favorite liquid refreshment - Try not to take too many. Gotta pee? Better hope everyone else is okay with you getting back in line.
- Cell phone - In case you need to call a friend when you get bored or need something. Maybe the pizza place will deliver to you. Get some for your commrades, it'll pay when you need to pee.
- Seating - One of those folding camping chairs. Even better with the foot-rest extensions. Some people can get away with sleeping in these.
- Sleeping bag - I need something comfortable to sleep in.
- Time-Passing - Handheld games, PDA-phone, books, epalying cards, etc. You NEED this.
- Deoderant - Please.
If your line is outside
- Tent - the type that require no spikes in the ground. I know it's going to rain tomorrow around here and you won't
- Bundling - Parkas, Jakets, Long Johns, Throws It's going to be cold around here.
Things that could be cool if they were allowed:
- Grill - Most places might take issue with this, but when you have a couple packs of hotdogs and a way to cook them, you'll make fast friends with everyone.
Optional but maybe good:
Change of clothes - I can change by putting my new clothes on top of the old ones and pulling the old ones off if I can't get out of line for a second.
I'm probably going to be hitting the lines tomorrow night and I suggest you do so soon as well. Good night!
PS - Don't forget about my launch guide!
