The Things People Do For a PlayStation 3

Oh, this is just rich. Some kid in West Bend injured himself while jockeying to get a PS3.

A 19-year-old man had to be taken to the hospital after he was injured racing other customers for a chance to buy the game console, which goes on sale after midnight.

The man was waiting with about 50 others outside Wal-Mart when an assistant manager announced the store would only have ten units for sale.

The assistant manager then placed ten chairs outside the store. At the signal, the customers could race to the chairs and whoever got a spot could buy one of the ten Playstation 3 systems.

The 19-year-old ran into a pole and struck his head while sprinting for a chair.
