Y'know, I was just thinking...

I need to hit Target/BB/TRU this morning and odds are they're all going to be madhouses, aren't they? I'm totally not in the mood for this. :twoguns:

Stupid 360 launch...
 
I drove by Best Buy last night, at around 11 PM... and I shit you not; there were at least 100 people sleeping on the sidewalk, bundled up in sleeping bags and bubble jackets.

Around the corner, 50 or so people camping out at Target -- a lot of people were sitting in their cars.

There were two people at Circuit City. ... and one person at Office Max (rofl). I wish I had my camera on me for that one.

"Alternate" for the better, no?

I'll be the only one screaming 'Celtic Pride', then, I guess. :cry:[/QUOTE]

Probably not... you just picked a bad time for the fight. Most of us were probably still at the pub.

I'd expect they may be crazy for the first half-hour or so, but after the people realize they aren't getting 360s, it should clear out pretty fast.

Let me just put this into perspective for all you, 8 people were in line at Target when Jonathan went to work YESTERDAY at 11AM... the store did not open until 8 this morning. Jonathan was at least nice enough to tell them how many the store had. 8 premium and 8 core.
 
Yeah, I have to go over to BB today too to pick up my iPod video, should be interesting to talk to some of the cashiers about the launch though.

[quote name='shrike4242']Unless he stole your 360, I don't think you have much to worry about. :D[/QUOTE]

But I don't have one. :'(

It's ironic how I don't have one because I preordered one.

Which makes absolutely no sense to me.

That's the whole reason you pre-order it, so you have it when it launches.

Though, as we've seen, sense has little to do with retail sales in November.

Right.

Now all I can do is stare at the Condemned: Criminal Origins and Perfect Dark Zero boxes like a 'tard.

No, the 'tards are the ones with the boxes in-hand and looking on eBay for the consoles.

You're just stiffed by your circumstance.

Yer right.

How / when are you getting your 360? I forgot. ;o

First price drop in 2006 or Sep/Oct 2006, whichever comes first.

Sounds about right.
If Nintendo actually launches the Revolution in spring/summer window, then it will be great (so long as it's sub 200 dollars)... then I'll be able to get a 360 and a revolution, all for what is very likely to be less than the cost of the PS3.

That would be nice.
(However unlike the chance of that is.)
 
When I was checking out TRU for the GT gone $10 sale this morning, apparently some dude was buying the pre-order slips off people going in at insane prices. From what I was told, this cat gave 5 people $700 each for their 360s... with the profit to be had on ebay (a buddy told me he looked for the fuck of it, saw some going for over 2k), I can't say I'd blame him, though he may have been the grinch that stole some kid's Christmas. Crazy fucking shizz, I tell you...

Right now, I don't need to be dropping $600 on a system before I buy games, as well as just not seeing anything that really moves me to buy any of the launch titles. Plus, I can't kick my Xbox to the curb since only 50% of my current games are on the BC list, and some of them I'm actually going through and playing. Plus, since everything is designed for 720p on the 360 and I don't have an HDTV, that's another thing that I need to weigh into the decision.

EDIT: Well I guess I'm going to watch the Harry Potter movie now. :) This means no dinner until after 9 at the very least. :whistle2:(
 
Got Harry Potter 1 and 3 for 5.88 today! Yay! Damn them not having 2. ><

Also picked up Danger Doom CD and System's Hypnotize. Good day.
 
Oh yeah. The 360. Guy at Target told me that they got 10 core and 10 permium systems in. People lined up at 8 last night to get in at 8 this morning. Sold out within 15 minutes.

The only place NOT sold out right at open time was Costco.

That's fucking crazy.
 
[quote name='SpottedNigel']Walmart im guessing? Im finally going to pick up the 3...Enjoyed 4 enough that i'll actually buy that week of release[/QUOTE]

Nope, Target. They had only like 4 copies of 1, and like 7 of 3. None of 2, sadly.

I was pretty happy since I didn't want to pay full price for them, but still wanted them.

Does Wal Mart have thes eon sale? Maybe I can grab number 2 there to have all 3...

I was just at Target today, didn't think to look for dvds :( I did however pick up a copy of Sonic Adventure 2 Battle for $10. I also dropped by Strawberry's and picked up Ninja Assault w/ Guncon 2 for $15 and at FYE Urbz for DS for $10.

That sucks, but nice pickup on Sonic. It's a great game. Our Target is currently chaging all the game gases. that area that once held all PS2, GCN, XBOX, PSP, GBa, and DS games now only holds some PS2 and all XBOX. =O And they have a whole new aisle, both sides filled with cases. Damn! Sadly, most of the games... aren't there. So, meh.

In other news, I'm loving the new SOAD CD, which fits into the MEzmerize case making it a collective, awesome piece, and that Danger Doom CD isn't too shabby either. =D
