I will buy either a PS3 or XBox 360 at some point, but it will be Spring of next year. First of all, it will take me that much time to save up after the "Christmas crunch", second of all, I have never wanted anything so badly that I stood in line in the freezing cold all night for it. I'd stand in a bread line, or a job line, but shoot... I don't think I'd even go if they were handing out free '06 F-350s.

My oldest son and I were just talking about that last night. With the abundance of apparently physically weak people waiting in line for the 360 it seemed like they'd be naturally selected for victimhood by thieves.

I posted this in another forum.
Just a Xbox 360 story. One of my guys form work went to a presale at Wal-mart last night at midnight. He got there at 9:30 and no line. He wondered why not. He went to the electronics desk and was told because of the near riot in the store, that they stated it will be availible at 7 am. He was a bit sceptical and stayed to 11 pm. As the store closed they posted a sign on the front door stating just what he was told.
So at 7 am this morning the line was long and they all rushed to the electronics section and NO XBOX! Everone asked where they were and were all told that they were sold out. Sold out the store just opened. Then he said the near riot scene appeared again. As they were leaving cussing and fussing about it the retired greeter said do you know why there are sold out? It is because all the employees baught them before the store opened.
As you can imagine the people were very teemed about that.
Can anyone tell me how Christmas has been destroyed by retailers? These must have gifts cause so much anger.
As for my employee who went there He just wanted one to sell it on ebay for $3000+

what a load its so bad my new tv has plug for xbox built in, but have ps2 myself. the before mentioned retailer is, in my opinion, destroying this country slowly.... miss going to local department store this time of year to see all the lights,decorations, ride the elevator up to the fifth floor to toys and i mean good gas rc's, rockets, everything from baby toys to stuff for us big kids lol, if they said they had xbox 360's at 7 am the employees would have had to get in line with customers or had drawing for purchase order, but that store like so many closed 6 months after you know what openned. arrggh sorry if i ranted

Okay, I have to believe that some of these "I know a guy who bought an Xbox 360 and sold it for a trillion dollars" stories are super-exaggerated. I just looked on eBay and it looks like most of them are going for 5-700 dollars.
