A lot of things have been going on throughout the blog-o-sphere these last 24 hours. As the releases of the last two ‘next-gen’ consoles edge closer and closer, people everywhere are going crazy in hopes of getting one of these consoles.

In Tokyo this morning (or, last night). Thousands of people set out to pick up a Playstation 3, however as there are only 100,000 units available at launch, not everyone was able to pick one up. Many stores in the region adopted a ‘lottery’ scheme whereby customers were chosen at random to be able to purchase a console - whether or not this debunked pre-orders is unclear. Kotaku’s Brian Ashcraft documented as much as possible the scenes that happened at the release. Follow the link to see the coverage.

The head of Sony, Ken (riiiiidge racer) Kutaragi said that he hopes everyone will “enjoy the next-generation entertainment to (their) heart’s content”
