mee081224 Posted December 11, 2005 Share Posted December 11, 2005 Wow, you're not here to make friends, are you? Your first paragraph makes no sense to me, but maybe that's because I'm not willing to camp out for XX hours to "show em I care".

jgilbert00 Posted December 11, 2005 Share Posted December 11, 2005 Just talked to my nearest Best Buy! Manager said they wouldn't be getting them for a Sunday release because of how the deliveries work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

me2 Posted December 11, 2005 Share Posted December 11, 2005 I WAITED 18 HOURS TO GET MY XBOX IF YOU HAVE KIDS GET A BABYSITTER SINCE THIS GIFT IS PROBABLY BE FOR THEM, SHOW EM YOU CARE, BY SAYING YOU WAITED XX HOURS. NOW STOP CRYING ABOUT YOU HAVING TO WAIT. LOL I show 'em I care by not buying them an X Box at all. In fact, we don't have a single, solitary game system (other than the computer) in our house. Even funnier, we only have ONE TELEVISION! And yeah, it is by choice. We've given away the old television every time we've bought a new one.

blackdaniel Posted December 11, 2005 Share Posted December 11, 2005 Yeah show your kids you actually care and spend some time with them:gd_partyu Buy them monoploy or something and interact with them, don't buy them a 299$ babysitter, get them something they could learn some actual skills from Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TamiL Posted December 11, 2005 Share Posted December 11, 2005 Sounds like alot of fighting will be going on again. I do not want an Xbox but find it curious the way people will behave in order to get one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hope1976 Posted December 11, 2005 Share Posted December 11, 2005 I love my hubby....I really do...just maybe not enough to camp out for a 360 He'd love one, but he's one that will wait until the prices come down before he'll buy it. That's what he did with the xbox. Not saying that there's NOTHING I wouldn't camp out for though LOL...different strokes for different folks though right? Good luck to anyone who will be in the running for one though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bpr Posted December 11, 2005 Share Posted December 11, 2005 I got mine the first day. Heard my NEX store was going to have them from a sign posted on the door the night before. Wasn't really sure if I was going to buy one or not. Asked my wife what she was doing the next morning and she said 'nothing'. So I told her and she said she would get it. Took her to work with me and dropped her off at 7am. She was number 12 in line when the doors opened at 9am. Not bad for a two hour wait. No real hard-core camping here. She said it was done very orderly: step in, you were handed one, you payed, and out the door. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thechef71 Posted December 11, 2005 Share Posted December 11, 2005 my bestbuy store is going to give out numbers before they open probably one to two hours before they will have thirty does anyone know if you can get more than one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thechef71 Posted December 11, 2005 Share Posted December 11, 2005 bestbuy may be my best chance to get one the local walmart employees are keeping them for themselves and selling on ebay through friends. Someone I know found one at walmart last week and the employee working in electronics refused to sell it to them at first saying things like " this isn't supposed to be out here" "it's on hold" and a long list of other excuses and finally sold it when they were threatened with calling the store manager Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lovebears65 Posted December 13, 2005 Share Posted December 13, 2005 Since I got my boys each a computer for Christmas I will not be camping out for this .. They all want one but it will wait for next christmas plus they want to see what the PS3 does before we decide what system we get anyway.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adewrell Posted December 13, 2005 Share Posted December 13, 2005 Seriously though, what time should we get in line if we want one of these? The law firm that I work for has pooled enough money to purchase one for the children's home and we will take turns sitting in the chair to keep our place but how early should we get there?

majcpw Posted December 13, 2005 Share Posted December 13, 2005 Get in line at 5-8 PM on the 17th... NO JOKE.I was all set to park one of my cars in front of the Best Buy in Springfield VA about 24 hours in advance so that my son and I could take turns in XBOX 360 line but lo and behold, gottadeal.com forums came through again. The link to bensbargains led me to the gamestop's web site where they have a $1000 bundle that is in stock and usually ships in 24 hours. Since only one per customer can be ordered, I got one and so did my son. Mine's going on either ebay or craigslist to defer the cost of the other.

EliteABombAZ Posted December 13, 2005 Author Share Posted December 13, 2005 I dont see why people are paying $800 for the system on Ebay when they can spend $200 more and get that huge bundle from Gamestop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
majcpw Posted December 13, 2005 Share Posted December 13, 2005 I dont see why people are paying $800 for the system on Ebay when they can spend $200 and get that huge bundle from Gamestop.I totally agree. But without knowing about a site like bensbargains, you could drive yourself crazy by constantly checking the popular web sites to find out when they have systems in stock. I hope people are still paying that much when I get mine. If I get it on Friday, I''l have to sell it by Saturday because the market will be flooded by people auctioning their new Best Buy systems on Sunday.
