I GOT A PREMIUM! YES!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The 2nd shipment of Xbox 360s went on sale this morning (12/18/05) @ 8:00am @ Best Buy. They had 32 units for sale (30 premiums & 2 cores) and I was 10th in line, but how did I get such a good spot you might ask...
I arrived on the scene @ 4:00pm the day before (12/17/05) and stood/sat/paced/FROZE MY ASS OFF! in line for do the math, 16 HOURS! A lot of people didn't make it there in time for a sure spot in the top 32, but gutted it out and sure enough we had some weak links go home cuz of the cold boo-hoo (PUSSIES! ) The temp was in the 30s with a wind factor too. 2 people sold their spots to late comers with deep pockets. One of those golden spots went for $250.00 and the other went for a whopping $350.00. It was definitely entertaining with the bunch of people that we had gathered there in Best Buy's parking lot and up all night too. Everything from drinking to burn-outs to loud music to playing halo2 and xbox360 off this guy's generators and tv that he brought. There was also a fight on the other side of the building. A lot can go on and there is a lot of animosity that comes from the people in the back of the line.
It was all worth it though when they let you in out of the cold and give you a ticket for your Xbox 360 with your # in line on it. Everybody past # 32 in line got left outside in the cold for the final hour until the store officially opened for business at 8:00am . 16 HOURS! In near freezing temperatures for your Premium Xbox 360, could you do it? Well I did, and thanks for listening to my story and I hope you get yours next shipment.
PS: Layers = Warmth
This is the 2nd 360 line I had to stand in because my first 360core system was freezing up on me and I returned it for a refund to wal-mart. That line was only for 8hrs though, there was so many more people out for the 2nd shipment. _________________________________________________________ [XBOX v1.6b / Xecuter 3 CE / Western Digital Caviar SE 300GB HD / ATA166 IDE Cable / XCM Cystal Clear Case / Red Firework LED 80mm Fan / 12v Fan Mod / UnleashX Default Dash]
