Is anyone camping out tonight for it?

11/21/2005 7:26:25 AM

i hope not.

11/21/2005 8:12:26 AM

you're
kidding
right?

11/21/2005 8:16:12 AM

I'm going to Walmart to get one, but I don't know about camping out.

11/21/2005 8:18:53 AM

I got calls at Circuit City with people claiming to be out there at 2 or 3. We open at 9.

11/21/2005 8:32:42 AM

It is rather badass, though. Yeah, but camping out, hmm..don't think so.

Circuit's going to get crushed

11/21/2005 9:45:30 AM

Fucking campers

11/21/2005 9:46:32 AM

A lot of the "campers" will probably be parents whose kids will go berzerk if Santa doesn't bring their Xbox360 christmas morning.

I was like that back in 1996 when the Nintendo 64 came out..
i couldn't WAIT to play some super mario 64 and wave race

[Edited on November 21, 2005 at 9:53 AM. Reason : yep]

11/21/2005 9:50:44 AM

Wave race was that shit sooo fun

11/21/2005 11:27:09 AM

uh

huh?

11/21/2005 11:33:44 AM

Yeah I was like that with the N64 as well but with Shadows of the Empire. My dad was at Wal-Mart when they happened to get four of them in and he just happened to see someone wheel them out of the stock area. The fucker tricked me too cause he put an "N64 IOU" in my stocking so I was like "Great I have this game but I can't really do anything with it."

11/21/2005 11:41:46 AM

lets drive by any campouts and scream out SNAPE KILLS DUMBLEDORE or something to the same effect

11/21/2005 11:51:53 AM

I remember seeing people camping out at Best Buy when the ps2 came out. Im going to ride by some of the retailers after work to see if anyone is out.

11/21/2005 11:58:58 AM

at the CC in cary, we've got 5 of the core bundles and 15 of the good ones

11/21/2005 12:07:14 PM

Who wants to go buy three or four and turn them over for $texas?

Derek.. when I worked at the CC in Cary, I almost got fired for telling my friends that we had just got in a new shipment of PS2's... when people actually wanted them.

It's serious business. Watch it.

I havent been told anything as far as not releasing our quanitites. since we're gonna be handing out vouchers that morning for what we have in stock, i don't think it should be a problem.

11/21/2005 12:50:12 PM

It would be kinda funny if the guy who was first in line bought ALL of them and just went and sold them on ebay. They probably have a limit to the number you can buy per person though.

11/21/2005 12:59:23 PM

yeah in the sales catalogs that came in the newspaper sunday, most stores said limit 1 per family...
but if a bunch of people got in line and acted like they didn't know each other i'm sure you could get more than 1.

also, i have a question about the "core bundle" and the whole thing...
the "core" does not come with a hard drive right???

I wonder how many kids will wake up christmas morning and be all pissed that they got the "core" bundle that came without the hard drive and all that stuff..
b/c you can't save the game without the hard drive right? or can you?

11/21/2005 1:03:34 PM

Wave Race is the only game that has given me motion sickness from playing it

11/21/2005 1:08:39 PM

will all the old xbox games be playable on the 360?

11/21/2005 1:09:11 PM

well, it seems to me that if you dont get it tommorow, you wont get it for a long time

11/21/2005 1:12:45 PM

^^^WaveRace gave you motion sickness but PilotWings didn't?

So are any stores open for midnight sales?

11/21/2005 1:29:27 PM

wal mart is the earliest place for them to go on sale at midnight. How early do you think people will start getting there to get in line?

uhhhhhm

where are the NCAA football games?

11/21/2005 1:47:20 PM

so you have to get a software emulator in order to "add" these titles to the xbox 360. i wonder how much that will cost.


WHY IN TEH FUCK WOULD YOU MAKE Barbie™ Horse Adventures™ Wild Horse Rescue™ before NCAA Football or Mortal Kombat Shaolin Monks?

I would assume (hope) that they just made an emulator and tested every available game and that happened to be one that naturally worked. I certainly hope that they didn't spend any extra time tweaking the emulation just for that game.

I just called over to the 24 hour walmart in Briar Creek. She said that they were doing a line of chairs for each 360 they had in stock. It was first come first serve, you get a chair, you get an xbox. As of 1:14pm all of the chairs were taken.

11/21/2005 2:07:52 PM

the eb i got mine at just called me, said they decided to open at midnight. looks like ill have mine at midnight after all and dont have to worry about waiting or camping out since i preordered! whos up for a game of madden? haha

11/21/2005 2:12:30 PM

When did you preorder? Just curious.

11/21/2005 2:14:28 PM

like the first week of june and i had to drive to one that wasnt the closest to me because the other ones had already run of out preorders by then.

11/21/2005 2:23:04 PM

shit. well you deserve to get one at midnight then. I preordered in August but they didn't get as many units as expected so my preordered one won't get here until December.

11/21/2005 2:25:05 PM

i had to go out to the boonies cause they were out when i went to do it in june.
