IGN notes that they were a bit surprised that not as many folks as they expected were lining up this early. They speculate that perhaps this has something to do with the price.

It is also reported that several big [Only registered users can see links. ] stores have aborted [Only registered users can see links. ] due to security fears. This is a somewhat negative report that has a silver lining, given that the openings were stopped not due to lack of demand, but over safety concerns. This [Only registered users can see links. ] of course is something we here at QJ [Only registered users can see links. ]; especially when you recall the reports of violence during the PS3 North American launch.

Anyhow, we'll keep an eye on news reports, and update you if the line has grown, or if something undesirable pops up. Stay tuned.

Well, that's London, I hope the queues aren't forming at my local Game for the PS3, its having a midnight launch - open 12-2, then re-opens at 7. Was gonna go there for 7, but, make it midnight instead - hope there isn't a huge queue. (Where i live, got there 5mins before opening for the wii, 4th in line, but by time i left, the queue was huge........no one gets there til open time )

But if i tell her they were giving out TVs too - it really does pay off to queue so early

Nah, she wouldn't want the TV, unless it was JVC, I offered to buy a 32" widescreen HD ready TV for xmas for us - well, she put some towards it too, was a decent price, but, nope, not JVC, she weren't having it
