wow don't post what store you'll be at someone would love to come take that wii off your hands

Nahhhh...The people in line are "moderately" nice.
Plus the Wii will be in a tent where there will be 7+ people in it.
I highly doubt anyone can sneak in, swoosh the Wii, and run away without being noticed.

About 2 hours before the doors open people start to put away there items in there cars so park close up when you get there.

If you get the power inverter and bring your wii, you should invest in a wii fit. Then you could do the wii fit to stay warm.

No they have not. Once you are in line for 30 plus hours you become friendly with the people around you. So if someone nears you needs to potty or get food they will ask if you will hold there spot while they potty and they will do the same with you. It is a honor system. If you do get up to go get food then you must offer to get food for the people around you. Once it is time to put away your stuff people around you are doing it but just remember who was in order. You might take turns doing it. In the lines I have been in this takes place around 1am on Friday for a 5pm opening. Again this will all depend on the people around you and how quick you make friends.

Do people really kick you out of line if you JUST go to the bathroom/get food?

The people in line where I am in Best Buy don't really care.

LOL
You may laugh but CNBC covered my port-a-potty last year.

It was front page on MSNBC and CNBC last year. And people really do pay a buck since I have the key.

It varies from store and store. We have had reports in years past where the people in line were rude and such. Other reports we get that every one in line plays nicely. I hope everyone plays nice.
BF is a full contact sport and you will find that once business picks up that this site has some of the most serious and professional BF shoppers in the world that post here.

I missed this last year. You really sit out there for 30 hours? WOW! Do you go by yourself or with someone? Do you buy for only yourself or do others in your family have you get things for them? Is that the only store you go to?
I go with my son and his girlfriend and a friend of mine, and we split up & get in line at different stores or like in Kohls take turns shopping while someone gets in line, or go into a store and split up each person grabbing a certain item.

Yes I do really sit there for 30 hours and it may be longer this year. Just depends on the intel I get here.
When I stated to do this 5 years ago it was just me but over the years I have made alot of friends and it has grown to about a group of 30. We all stay in touch during the year and do each others birthday and holidays. Best Buy is the only store I go to since I feel they have the best sales year after year and the ticket system is one of the best out there. You asked who I buy for. I mostly buy for me and close family.

I meant does your family have you pick up things for them? And you don't go with anyone that you know outside of BF/BB line? I agree, other stores could learn from best buy, I think circuit city has started doing something similar.

This may be a stupid question but I've always wanted to know! How do you get internet access waiting in line on BF?? Do you just pick up surrounding wireless signals?
