Brown was number 16 in line, and finally got it at 8:00 this morning. By 8:30 a.m. he was home and thinking of sleep, when he found himself in the middle of what he wishes were just a nightmare. "I got one key in the door and was asked to turn around. I had a shotgun barrel in my face."Brown froze with fear, saying, "That was a huge barrel; definitely not a fake gun."The masked gunman wanted one thing - his new Playstation 3, and told Brown to hand it over. Brown says he knew he didn't have a choice, even though he'd spent 40 hours waiting in line for it, "Standing out in the rain, Wednesday night in the rain, Thursday night in the cold, it took its toll on me."Brown believes the man saw him get the game system, and followed him home to rob him.Police are looking for two black men driving a faded 1990's model Buick with a passenger-sized door that's a different size. If you have any information, call police.
