Those who camp out for system launches know ahead of time that they'll have to endure a number of hardships to walk away with a new game console on day one, but being shot probably isn't among them.

A drive-by BB gun shooting hit four people at a Best Buy store in Lexington, Kentucky, last night according to reports from the local CBS affiliate, WKYT. Three of the people hit were camped out in line to buy a PlayStation 3 when it goes on sale Friday morning, while the fourth was a WKYT reporter covering the line for a story.

Two of those hit reportedly packed up and left the line, saying "a PlayStation 3 simply isn't worth it." The third customer remained in line, telling WKYT "I'd do it again, even if I get shot again."

Makes me feel a bit uhhhh, freaked out at what could happen at Wii launch, though none of those locations are near me, actually because of that, I probably shouldn't worry, but hey, sorry for the guys that are near and the ones that witnessed it. -------------------- \|@_@\|\|@_@\|\|@_@\|\|@_@\|\|@_@\| Best character reference I have is here, so use it if you draw me.

It was enough that two people waiting in line said "f*** it."

At least they were able to walk away, that's gotta say something about the "severity" of the attack.

They didn't even file a police report.
