Just got back, been awake for 26 hours now, need sleep, but need to post.
Ok so you guys know that I was 37 on the 36 list. I sat it out, hoping someone leaves. Thank god the weather was not like the night before (rain rain and more rain), the weather was calm, I dont know how cold it was, bas I was wearing lots of stuff and I was cold.
People had tents, I had this chair that I got from the Wal Mart next door 
Ray7een 3ala 3amaha as they say. My friend and I just arrived there with nothing but the clothes on our backs, thank god there was Wal Mart next door (they had ps3s but only 8 units :S). Plus believe it or not, I was the best dressed person out there
The hours went by pretty slow. Every hour, on top of the hour, the guy who was organizing the list would take count and make sure that the people on the list are there. I was chatting with the people waiting around, watching tv, eating snacks, chinna im5aymeen bil desert moo ga3deen 3ala il ra9eef mal best buy
This is a guy who I met, he camped out since Wednesday at 1 pm (the pic was taken about 36 hours later). He has been to both Kuwait and Saudi, what are the chances! He was in the first Gulf war. Inside the tent was his wife, his 8 month old baby, and 2 friends he paid for to wait with him. He is planning on getting a new truck with the 4 ps3s he was getting. Plus he is one of the funniest people I met, I really enjoyed talking to him.
Ok so the hours pass by, and no one leaves. The PS3s were going to be sold at 8 am, but they would be passing tickets (to buy the PS3 with at 7 am). Since I was first in line (the line that wasnt guaranteed a PS3) I started looking around, trying to get people to sell me their spot. There is a good amount of money being made by selling these things on ebay, so it was time to release my “arab powers” aka bribes. No one wanted to sell me their spot, maybe it was because I wasnt offering a high price ($400) yeah I’m crazy.
A few hours pass by, and this guy parks his car and comes over to us wanting to buy a spot, he offered some guys who were in the first 36 up to $1300 but no one sold him their spot! He offered me $600, but I didnt do it.
When 7 am came, the divided the first 36 from the “rest” or as we called it, the haves and the have nots.
The Haves getting free donuts from Dunkin Donuts.
The Have-nots getting the rest of the donuts that the Haves didnt take
Mine, ba3ad I had first choice, mocha all the way!
Basically my only chances of getting a PS3 was either Best Buy miscounted, and had atleast 1 extra unit, or if a person fails to pay for their PS3 on the spot. So I decided to wait the extra hour and see what happens.
The Haves getting into Best Buy, of coarse the Have-nots were booing the whole time.
Meet number 1.
It was worth the wait!
So you finally wanna know if I got one or not?
Well here is what I took home after the 14 hour wait.
Yes ladies and gentlemen, this is the official key chain of the PS3.
Some demo games for the PS2 (2 not 3) and PSP.
and did I mention I got a free donut? 
goodnight!
PS: I had loads of fun, and I am not very disappointed that I didnt get one, but I think I should be.
LOL! But at least it was an experience to remember right?

Yazeed, even I, Ms. B, as in Ms. Baker, or she who cooks things and reads books and blogs about boring stuff not associated with games, loved this post on your PS3 acquisition trials and tribulations. Really great

Actually, it looked like the whole thing was an experience and a lot of fun
