thunderz Posted October 3, 2007 Posted October 3, 2007 I was one of many who slept OUTSIDE overnight last year for a PS3 and a Wii (separate nights). Anyone know if there are gonna be any more big releases for these types of items this season? I haven't heard of any yet. I knew about the PS3 & Wii coming out for over a year. Many thanks!
Brad Posted October 3, 2007 Posted October 3, 2007 No new systems coming out this year, and while there may be midnight events for some games (such as the new Guitar Hero / Rock Band games), they won't be in such demand where you have to be there at midnight. So the waiting in line will likely be just for BF, or if a store like Wal-Mart decides to have more special deals a week or two before like they did last year.
LadyIzShy Posted October 4, 2007 Posted October 4, 2007 I need a laptop so I am guessing I will be outside BB this year. Just waiting for the ads to be sure.
ms_mckenna Posted October 4, 2007 Posted October 4, 2007 Well after waiting for 24 hours in line for a PS 3 I have decided I will never do that again. That point in my life when that might be "fun" is long gone lmao.
dissident Posted October 8, 2007 Posted October 8, 2007 I'm typing this post on my ze2308wm laptop that I sat overnight for in wal-mart back on 05.. since it still works great, I won't need to sit in line for another one this year. :)
darkzone Posted October 9, 2007 Posted October 9, 2007 For a LCD TV i might be looking at a all niter =) As i have never bothered checking out walmart on BF i was wondering do they have kick ass deals on LCD TV's also like BB does?
Kalel Posted October 9, 2007 Posted October 9, 2007 It´s the same for me every year.....who need to sleep if the LCD TV is waiting for me?
Anita967 Posted October 9, 2007 Posted October 9, 2007 Well, It depends on wether I work or not and how cold it is going to be in Indiana. Last year I got there(BB) at 4 pm on Thurs and was first in line. The weather was very mild too.
jarerice Posted October 11, 2007 Posted October 11, 2007 I need a labtop and a WII. But i'm getting the WII a.s.a.p. but I will be glab to camp out for a great price on a labtop!
guilliam Posted October 12, 2007 Posted October 12, 2007 I spent 36 hours waiting for the PS3 last year and I can honestly say that it would have to be an unreal deal to make me do it again!
trumpet87 Posted October 13, 2007 Posted October 13, 2007 Well, It depends on wether I work or not and how cold it is going to be in Indiana. Last year I got there(BB) at 4 pm on Thurs and was first in line. The weather was very mild too.Hi Anita, what part of IN you from? Me, SW
mardeebo Posted October 17, 2007 Posted October 17, 2007 Two years ago I waited at BB starting at 10pm in 10 degree weather by myself. I got the lappy I wanted. Toughest part was when we got in the store and I had to shed my several layers of clothing or have a heat stroke. That, and not eating or drinking anything so I wouldn't have to leave the line to go to the bathroom. It will be nice to go with a friend so we can tag-team the line which is what most people did. Man it was cold!! I'm wishing for single digits this year to keep the lines down. The cold doesnt' bother me! (and I'm a girl!)

diecastbeatdown Posted October 17, 2007 Posted October 17, 2007 nothing that would really constitute those same lines this year, the tv and laptop deals will always get the early lines though.
katiesmommy01 Posted October 18, 2007 Posted October 18, 2007 I slept out at BB last year...NEVER AGAIN. So many line jumpers and BB did nothing to stop them even when they openly did it. Then I told them i wanted the laptop and they said they were out and then gave a few to people in line BEHIND ME. I was so upset I complained to everyone i could find at BB and they were just like "tough"...to add insult to hunger/cold/sickness someone stole my sleeping bag. Freaking nightmare.
truexillusions Posted October 18, 2007 Posted October 18, 2007 Not my style at all. I'd be so crabby, you dont even know.
bobby1701 Posted October 22, 2007 Posted October 22, 2007 Nothing sticks out this year that I would wait out for. in 05, I got the HP Ze2308wm laptop from Walmart, which is still going strong ( gave it to my cousin who enjoys it), and in 06, got the Compaq v5000 laptop, also from Walmart, for myself. I am on it right now typing this post. all i have done to it was upgrade the memory to 1 /1/2 gigs and it works flawlessly. in 05, it was so cold, but in 06, it was very mild, so it wasn't that bad at all waiting outside.
