allystl Posted December 17, 2005 Posted December 17, 2005 My good friend wants one for her son and i want to get one. I'm in Atlanta. I'm just wondering how early is everyone camping out? I can't get there until @ 11pm. I hope that's not too late. If anyone wants to join forces in Atlanta just let me know.

hope1976 Posted December 17, 2005 Posted December 17, 2005 Not camping out....We're not getting one. We have a regular xbox and we hardly play that at all - 99% of the time our kids somehow have control of the tv We'll get one probably next year :) Good luck to you though! :)
JonathanM Posted December 17, 2005 Posted December 17, 2005 what for? I already have my XBox 360 all hooked up.. :)
civicracinggirl7 Posted December 17, 2005 Posted December 17, 2005 i heard that there have been quite a few counts of them breaking / "blowing up", and of course they can't be exchanged since there are none to replace them with.
decafmom Posted December 17, 2005 Posted December 17, 2005 We're not camping out. My son's Xbox broke over a month ago, but we have decided that it's not worth standing out in the cold in order to get the new one. We'll just wait until we can walk in and buy it and walk out. He's 17, and desperately misses having Xbox, but he's the one who said he really didn't want to wait in line for it, so we'll be waiting until after the first of the year. :) I hope you get yours and I hope the weather is great while you're out in it.
daz Posted December 17, 2005 Posted December 17, 2005 each store will have around 40? Why camp, in 3 weeks you won't be able to move without stepping on one in ANY store. The issues they have had is overheating, it is a quick fix, just set it on something to get it off the floor so the power supply gets a good airflow. Don't put it in a corner, or in an entertainment center without good ventilation. It is basically a 3.4GHz computer, in a lot smaller case. Reports are it heats up a room as well as a small space heater.
ebony0421 Posted December 17, 2005 Posted December 17, 2005 I am gonna hold out for the PS3. I thought about this game, but there is too much craziness for it for me to deal with right now.

bsakalosky Posted December 17, 2005 Posted December 17, 2005 I'm sitting on one right now that I don't know what to do with.... any takers??? Post if your interested.
decafmom Posted December 17, 2005 Posted December 17, 2005 I'm sitting on one right now that I don't know what to do with.... any takers??? Post if your interested.Do you still have one available? If so, I might be interested depending on how much you are asking for it.
Bestbuy7 Posted December 17, 2005 Posted December 17, 2005 I am gonna hold out for the PS3. I thought about this game, but there is too much craziness for it for me to deal with right now.PS3 Is going to be worst. People are already coming to my store asking if we can put it on layaway. You can count on Nintendo Revolution
SoCalCyclist Posted December 17, 2005 Posted December 17, 2005 buy.com right now has a bundle in stock.No they don't.
decafmom Posted December 17, 2005 Posted December 17, 2005 I heard that our local Wal*Mart came over the PA system yesterday and announced they had 15 of the 360s available right then. I think that's wrong! That means only people who happened to be in the store at that moment had a chance. I think they should have just put them in the case and let those who were actually looking for them get them!

If someone had the $300-400 on them right there and wanted one, so be it.

floridasun5 Posted December 17, 2005 Posted December 17, 2005 I just came from one of the Best Buys in Orlando as I had to get a gift card and there were already 9 people camping out at about noon here. I wish I could buy one to resell to make back some money for Christmas, but there's no way Im camping out for close to 24 hours for one!
dealluvr Posted December 17, 2005 Posted December 17, 2005 people are already srartingto camp out here in south jersey. this morning there were already probably a dozen people so far
BigBob Posted December 17, 2005 Posted December 17, 2005 As of about 1:50 pm, Saturday Dec 17th, the BB in Brandon FL has 30-40 people in line outside ... in the rain ... in chairs ... some with umbrellas ... some just shivering in the damp ... That store is supposed to get about 45 of the 360's. What do you call this phenomenon? I predict major trouble there by morning !
dealluvr Posted December 17, 2005 Posted December 17, 2005 i told my kids i might go get in line and tomorrow or tonight sell my spot in line.wonder if i could do that?
Bestbuy7 Posted December 17, 2005 Posted December 17, 2005 i told my kids i might go get in line and tomorrow or tonight sell my spot in line.wonder if i could do that?WOW.. DONT DONT ..Think about...other people waiting in the cold and you say hey anyway want my spot... 1. There probably will be more than 1 person wanting that spot 2. The 20 other ppl behind you will be 3. You'll probably get kicked off line by security depending on store's rules and regulation
lafevem Posted December 18, 2005 Posted December 18, 2005 My dh went to Best Buy to buy a couple of last minute items in West Orlando, Fl and there were maybe 50 people in line at 7:00 pm. The store employees were cracking up because they say they are only getting 40 at the most in.
*sparkles* Posted December 18, 2005 Posted December 18, 2005 We were at Best Buy at around 5:00pm today (the 17th) and there were over 20 ppl freezing (we're in WI) in line. I couldn't believe it. I wonder what time the first person got there.
blackfridayadd Posted December 18, 2005 Posted December 18, 2005 no waiting for me, I love the old xbox, but I'm gonna preorder the ps3 as it sounds much better than the 360.
grapico Posted December 18, 2005 Posted December 18, 2005 enjoy waiting almost another year to get that ps3
civicracinggirl7 Posted December 18, 2005 Posted December 18, 2005 WOW.. DONT DONT ..Think about...other people waiting in the cold and you say hey anyway want my spot... 1.

If you want to line up, you might as well buy it, then either sell it for a little markup to someone who didn't get to get one, or eBay it...
celestialsun Posted December 20, 2005 Posted December 20, 2005 i got lucky, as soon as the clock hit 6am i was able to order online, whew, i got one,it beats waiting in the line, i keep watching the tracking its almost here, one more day, it'll be here tomorrow.
