He should be happy. Now he gets to sue wal-mart and/or the guy who pushed him and make MUCH more money than he would have by selling his PS3 on eBay.

That stupid douche wasn't going to keep it anyways. he might as well been wearing eBay branded clothing and shouting "THEM BITCHES STOLE MAH EBAY MONIES!!!"

This is Darwin hard at work attempting to thin the herd of retards.

I sure hope he got "inured" from this experience. What a befitting typo!

SpikeTV should have commissioned a special one-time episode return of American Gladiators set in the parking lot of one of these Wal Marts. Race? Sure, there will be a race, while Gladiators fire tennis balls at you from cannons. Then you'll have to go one on one with them using pugil sticks, scale a rock wall while a Gladiator tries to pull you off, and then work your way through a maze that has numerous Gladiators lurking within.

All to get a raffle ticket. MUHAHAHAHA!

@ Sloopydrew

It's pretty simple.. eBay. This chump in the video was probably going to do the same thing, spend $600 and make four times that probably. The greed flag-pole gets ya every time!

Why do people want this console so bad right now? I'm planning on getting a PS3, but what games on it are so great that the console needs to be picked up at launch? I think Wal-Mart and other stores need to start giving out raffle tickets. Having the people line up and run to get in the ten coveted slots? I'm surprised a guy hitting flagpole is the worst thing that happened.

Also, having both dislocated and broken my jaw so many times it's permanently disjointed, you can still talk. Like a retard, but it works.

I sure hope someone thinks to sue them. This type of stampeding is ridiculous and deadly. They're lucky no one died. I think in the coming years we'll see something change. People are too lawless in this country and eventually people will die for stupid things like this. This guy got his jaw dislocated and in a few months we'll all be able to walk in and buy this thing...DUMB ASS AMERICAN CONSUMER! Hey...I've got one and you can give me $5000 for it..LOL...LOSERS!

If you're going to run for a PS3, you deserve a pole in the face.

Fire the manager who had them race, Wal-Mart headquarters puts it all on him, no blame on the corporation. Damage control. That's what I'd do.

As for this guy? Seems to be talking pretty damn well for having a dislocated jaw. Quit your whining, you wouldn't feel shit about the other guy if you'd pushed him into the flagpole.

Wow, he looks pretty good for having dislocated his jaw. Shouldn't he be bruised or have a black eye or maybe not be able to move it or something? I don't doubt that it hurt, though. Wal-Mart will probably be on the hook for this, but can you imagine running like an idiot to buy a $600 toy, running into a flagpole and killing yourself, then blaming someone else?

Seeing that sprint for the door was one of the most hilariously pathetic things I've ever seen. Nerd rage in full force.

This guy is totally going to sue Wal-Mart. I say more power to him - I just hope it leads to better plans for launches of this type in the future.

Heck, he might as well throw Sony into the lawsuit as well.

That was really stupid on the part of Wal-Mart though. I think it would be a suit against Wal-Mart that this guy could win.

His thoughts, pre-sprint:
"Man, I'm finally getting a PS3. All I have to do is beat all these lesser geeks to the door and I'll get it. OK here we go, he's counting down. 3, 2, 1, Oh man I got a good start. These noobs are getting pwned! I'm gonna get it! I'm gonna g---"
