ELKTON, Maryland (AP) -- A melee erupted among a crowd of shoppers in the rush for the new Xbox 360 video game console at a Wal-Mart Supercenter in northeast Maryland.
It took 10 police officers to restore order.
A crowd of about 300 people waited as much as 12 hours for the game, considered a must-have item this holiday season, to go on sale at 12:01 a.m. Tuesday. But an announcement from a store manager that the Xboxes would be sold on a first-come, first-served basis, instead of using a number system devised by customers, triggered the mayhem.
"That's when all hell broke loose," said Ben DiSabatino IV, a 23-year-old Bear, Delaware, resident, who had been waiting in line since 4 p.m.
Some customers were knocked down and trampled, though there were no serious injuries, said Elkton Police Lt. Lawrence Waldridge.
Wal-Mart canceled the sale and police ordered everyone to leave. " |

Wal-mart always pulls some shit like that. I remember going last minute to wait outside of a local wal-mart when the PS2 came out. I was probably 9th in line, getting there 2-3 hours before they opened the door. 15 mins prior to opening, there were well over 100 ppl in line, for only 20 PS2s. The guy behind us called into the store to see if they wanted to come out and give tickets to the people already waiting. They said "first come, first served". Well, as soon as someone came to unlock the doors, everyone rushed the doors.
I remember running straight back to layaway (where they were being kept) and this young girl who had been in front of me, was knocked down and thrown into an endcap. My best friend was in front of her and she nearly pulled his jacket off, trying to grab anything she could while going down. I literally jumped over here and kept running, to avoid being trampled myself. Point of the story is......I got my PS2! 11/24/2005 9:37:03 PM |
