Circuit City throws PS3 launch parties

Did you miss buying a PS3 from Bestbuy.com last night because you were out partying? Circuit City is giving gamers in a metro area another chance to purchase a system. In New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Washington D.C., Richmond or Philadelphia Circuit City is throwing midnight launch parties where they will sell 100 PS3s per store. Specifically in Union Square 100 people will win a PS3, while only five lucky people at the other stores will walk away with a free console. Union Square can be a pretty crowded place without special events and adding to the usual breakdance battles are 100 free PS3s. I can only imagine the chaos and wireless DS battles in the blistering cold on the night of November 16.
