I just went by Best Buy on Glenwood. 1 tent sitting out there with 4 guys in front.

11/21/2005 5:16:17 PM

anyone down to go out there with a tent and hop infront of them and act like we did nothing wrong?! haha that owuld be classic

11/21/2005 5:20:09 PM

I'm game.

11/21/2005 5:27:43 PM

i dont have a tent, but i think it would be a funny joke to pull for as long as possible

one of my roomies is heading out there midnight ish to check the line, and if its bad get in it - otherwise check back periodically

11/21/2005 6:15:37 PM

I just got back from the Best Buy from Cary. There was already a line of people camping out, one person had a tent pitched.

come on, nobody's gonna do anything with that?

11/21/2005 6:53:01 PM

just went by Best Buy again
4 more people behind the tent.

11/21/2005 6:57:16 PM

This shit is retarded.

Just get one from fucking Sears or something. No waiting in line.

11/21/2005 7:03:07 PM

jesus - its cold and rainy

those motherfuckers are insane.

i mean seriously, just go buy a PC and play COD on it - you'll get the same experience!

11/21/2005 7:03:51 PM

sears aparently isnt selling them...

11/21/2005 7:15:13 PM

cold and rainy, and 14 hours before the doors open at best buy
and i juts got back, 25+ ppl out there. i laughed in their faces.

11/21/2005 7:20:52 PM

^ you mean about 5 hours. Best Buy is opening at midnight right?

11/21/2005 7:24:19 PM

no we're not.
i work there
opening 9am

nothing would amuse me more than if they think we are opening at midnight

hahaha someone should dress up in a blue vest and walk towards the door jangling keys at 11:59

then turn around and be like, 'AHAHAHA YOU STUPID ASSHOLES HAVE FUN FOR ANOTHER 9 HOURS'

11/21/2005 7:31:06 PM

oh..... i failed to mention

i am doing that

(if i dont goto the flying saucer)

11/21/2005 7:31:25 PM

but the thing is, if they are already out there with tents and standing in line, i doubt they will care that they have to wait a little longer. they are probably hoping to be on the news also..they always interview the "die-hards"

11/21/2005 7:48:14 PM

This shit isn't worth the Effort. The Wal-Mart on Glenwood said they already have sold their 6. Fuck it

11/21/2005 8:24:49 PM

Both 24hr Wal-Marts are sold out, Cary Wal-Mart did vouchers, Toys R Us at Crossroads sold all theirs already, which leaves Best Buy.

11/21/2005 9:21:13 PM

When I left work at the bestbuy on glenwood like an hour ago.,...there were already like 15-20 people out front waiting in line and we didn't get a lot more than that so not too many more people are going to be able to get them

11/21/2005 9:24:07 PM

What's the big deal? The games they have out look like they suck ass, so why can't people wait until later to get the system?

11/21/2005 9:24:39 PM

^ ebay... that is the only reason i drove by two walmarts while i was out in fayetteville. i figured if they had open spots i'd buy one to sell. both though had had all their units sold since 10am. although it was kinda gay how they were doing it. you didn't have to wait in line. just put your name on a list and every hour or so they called it and if you didn't come to say here they took you off.

11/21/2005 9:34:54 PM

Ha! You dumb motherfuckers are gonna go and give microsoft all of your time, THEN cough up however fuckin much it costs for the damn thing! Stupid cockfags! CHeck it.....when the PS3 comes out I'm gettin me a PS2 and at a fraction of the original cost with no waiting.


BEAT THAT!

11/21/2005 11:04:58 PM

I wonder what it's like at Best Buy now.
I had a friend who works around Winston Salem. He had me call the Super Walmart in Winston.
So, I called over there for him. They were going to have 48 xboxes in stock but they are sold out. They got more people in line than xboxes..

11/21/2005 11:11:54 PM

^^ i doubt the PS3 is going to be at a fraction of the 360's cost

11/21/2005 11:31:11 PM

^ note he said he was getting a PS2. I may finally buy one of the current gen consoles when the ps3 comes out. Always too poor from putting parts in my computer to buy a console.

11/21/2005 11:33:49 PM

I left CCity on Glenwood at 10:30 tonight and there were about 10 ppl camped out front.

Stupid.

Mike

11/21/2005 11:46:57 PM

At Glenwood Walmart, there have been 6 ppl there since 11AM. . . and we only have 6 systems. We gave them seats in layaway and have a TV and DVD player there so friends can bring them movies to watch until midnight when we can sell them.

Oh posted at midnight . . .so they should be getting them right now.

Hmmm 10 hours in a walmart, could be fun.

what the fuck is wrong with humanity

11/22/2005 12:32:08 AM

my dad was 5 people away from one in burlington and saw a lady pay a guy $600 for a $300 core system

11/22/2005 12:38:53 AM

did she also "service" him?

11/22/2005 12:44:46 AM

i would have gladly sold my xbox for $600...i know somebody on here got one...let's hear if it's worth it

11/22/2005 12:47:52 AM

The best buy in Garner had about 20 people camped out front around 1130pm. I went over to target and there were only 3 people out front. I then went to the 24 hour walmart in Clayton and they were selling the core system but had sold out of the premium. I dont know what they started with but when i left they still had over a dozen core systems left. I could have waited in line but it would have been close as to weather i would have got one or not.

At Best buy it looked more like younger college age people. I thought they were releasing the new starwars movie or someting. Is it that badass they can't wait a few weeks or days to get it?

You do realize how quickly you could have turned a profit selling these on ebay, right?

"I feel amazing," said Gonzalez, who was first in line at a Best Buy store and planned to play all night before heading to an 8 a.m. class at the College of Staten Island.

28 hours? what a moron.

Bentonville, Arkansas? Looks like that guy on eBay is gonna hold up the Wal-Mart distribution center.

11/22/2005 7:31:38 AM

Got mine from Sam's Club (in winston-salem) this morning @ 7am.

Let the gaming begin (after I get off of work at 5pm today)

11/22/2005 7:47:05 AM

wal mart had 6 systems, toys r us had 3. Who and how is it determined what stores get how many?
