What's it like to camp out a BB?

[Forumchibi]

Having never camped out BB before, but wanting to for the next Xbox shipment, can anyone tell me the general trend of how it works?

If I go with someone, can I freely get in and out of line as long as my friend is still in line, or do people usually get pissed off and bark about that? If I walk by 30 people, I can't really imagine them being quiet about it. And it's probably going to be raining or snowing up here, definitely lower than 40 degrees. Is it better to bring cash, and how much?

Any tips or things I should be warned about? Thanks in advance.

unless everyone in your line is a bladder-less prick, you should no problem going in and out of your spot. make friends with the people next to ya so they can stick up for you when everybody rushes to the front as soon as they open the doors

If your wig falls off when they open the doors, don't try to pick it up.

i camped out at BB with my dad for 2 laptops...11:30 AM all the way to 5 AM...soooo cold...it was like 20 the night we went...

anyway...yea, no prob with the getting out of line if you have a friend hold your spot...just dont smoke in line...that pisses a lot of people (especially me) b/c there are lots of people who dont like smoke and you are smoking near them...and yea, make friends with the people..it will make time go by quicker
