PS3 launch camp

Live near London, desperate for a PS3 and got a lot of free time on your hands? Then you'll be pleased to know that Virgin Megastore on London's Oxford Street - the venue for the official UK launch - is allowing people to camp from 12pm today (Weds). Yes, get down there today and you could be at the front of the queue come tomorrow night's launch. Apparently Virgin are giving over their entire ground floor for the impromptu 36 hour campsite, so let's, er, hope some people turn up. In reality it will probably be heaving tomorrow night, with pre-launch cynicism washed away by the excitement of finally getting hold of a PS3. Just make sure you buy Motorostorm - far and away the best launch game - and also an HD TV if you don't already. Yup, next-gen gaming doesn't come cheap. Anyone on here packing their sleeping bag and heading to Oxford Street?
