do people not understand that there's going to be more shipment(s) coming through out the month of December? I mean, yeah... it's still going to be hard to get... but that's just dumb... I'll wait til Costco gets their shipment... won't be for a while though...

honestly.. remember the 360's shortages??? soooo hard to find a system???? like even for months and months after release? that is going to PALE so badly in comparison to the PS3 shortages.. just judging by everything im reading. I think itll be hard to get a PS3 even in 6 months.

Not sure but the one in IL already has more than 100. I guess some think people will get out of line?

Anyways my buddy is just doing it to resell it on ebay. He asked me to join him but...

I'm not sure, but I think I read somewhere that (once again) Game Stop/EB Games took more pre-orders than they are getting in

Well assuming you have ebay's prereq's for putting it up.......is that really worth sitting in a fucking tent outside of a retail store over for several days?

I passed the local Circus City, and there were a slew of tents lined up. With people sitting on chairs in the rainy disgusting weather.

In the end, me personally.....I would hate myself for doing it, even walking away with a profit.

Maybe if I were still in school, I could rationalize it.

That's just me.

I might camp out for 4 or 5 hours if I could resell it for twice what I paid. I think $100 per hour sounds pretty good, but other tan that, eff it.

What'd be great is if Conan O'Brien's Triumph (the dog) made a visit to one of these campout sites.... kinda like what he did with the star wars geeks.

I never understood the purpose of being the first to have something, unless your selling to make profit. I wanted a 360, but I at least waited for the hype to calm down. I dunno.

Video game consoles don't make you fat. That is a life choice made up of many other things. I have an XBOX and XBOX 360 as well as numerous computers. I eat well and exercise too, as well as put in 2-3 hours a day on the video games. My BMI is around 16.
