Hunting the elusive 360
So I’ve decided that I’m going to try and brave the Xbox 360 launch and try to snatch one of the premium bundles up. If it comes to it, I’ll buy a Core system but only to turn around again and sell because it’s pretty much worthless to me without the HDTV connector and Hard Drive. It’s looking like Walmart is the place to pick one up at since Futureshop and EB have already (over)sold all of the Premium bundles that they’re getting in. Walmart in Bayers Lake claims to have 16 Premium and 8 Cores so I think I’m going to brave the wind and the rain and camp that store.
Update: So I ended up heading out to Walmart in Bayers Lake around 4:30am to meet another 13 people already in line. About 6 of them had been there since midnight and the other arrived between 2:30 and 3:30. It turns out the guy on the phone knew what he was talking about, when the manager came out at 7am to hand out numbered tickets (great idea BTW) they handed out 16 premium tickets and I ended up getting #14. Not bad for 2.5 hours of standing around talking about video games
