Last night I went over to Stockton and waited in line at Best Buy from 4 PM until 8 AM this morning along with about 50 others. We were there for the XBOX 360 which they only received 47 units. It was cold and miserable. It rained and there were strong winds most of the night. We set up tarps and a few had tents. Even though I had my truck there I had to remain in line or lose my spot.
In the morning the local news crew came out from UPN 31 and did interviews and shot live footage of us. Apparently there were lines of people camped out at ALL Best Buy's everywhere last night. The woman who was reporting ended up buying two XBOX's from the guys who were in front of me in line all night. She told us that she was keeping one and the other would go up for auction on eBay where we all agreed she would probably make about $1000 on it. All in all, a rough nigtht. It was worth it though, I got my XBOX, made a face on live TV and had a pretty good time in spite of the weather.
