Usually I don't post after a monday or a wednesday because I work all day, but this was noteworthy. As you might have heard Xbox 360 came out today. Well last night I watched the line outside the Best Buy swell from 10 or so at six pm to about 100 at 10pm. Of course every other person in the door asked why the people were lining up and most had the same reaction, "thats crazy."
I felt bad for them because it was so cold, and that we didn't have nearly enough Xbox 360 to go around. Microsoft didn't make as many as they said they would. Also, about once an hour someone from the line would come in and tell us how bad the attitude of people in line was. There was almost a fight. However, at the Wal-mart across the way there was a fist-fight. This is because people were holding places for people in line. We were asked many different times by many different people to give out tickets, but that wouldn't help because once everyone is gone at about 11 or so, they are on their own until about 5 am when employee's show back up.
Anyway, this whole thing is a mess. I applaude all the people who are waiting out in that weather for so long to get their Xbox (to each his own), but its not worth it.

I, too, say "F the 360!" I'm holding out for a Playstation 3. However, I will not be waiting in line for hours in the cold. I'll only wait if the weather's nice.
What about the Nintendo Revolution? You will be able to play old game cube games on it and download any nintendo game from nes to n64 on it!
