LINE WAITING at BEST BUY for PS3
There was another thread like this but it was covered with people questioning if it will be profitable, if it's worth it to wait in line blah blah blah.....
This thread is only for people discussing waiting in line at a best buy, circuit city, walmart etc. (big stores that did not do pre-orders) I plan on going with three of my friends and just front them the money. (They all kind of owe me favors and I plan on just buying a lot of patron and just getting hammered with them) Anyway some questions I have (i figure mostly people who waited for 360's to have the answers) If one or two of my friends leave for a couple hours will this cause a problem? Should I buy a tent? (i figure this will make people less likely to realize if my friends have left or not) I don't wanna chance it, but I don't wanna piss off my friends by waiting to long, what time should i show up? Other questions like this and other answers are appreciated. THANKS [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] |

Re: LINE WAITING at BEST BUY for PS3
I camped out at EB for the preorders. Don't leave the line for too long, an hour at the most. People seem to get pretty pissy at these things.
I brought a tent, and was glad I did. I only wish I had brought more blankets. Bring a bunch of paper and a pen and pass out numbers to people arriving in line. Everyone who's early will gladly follow this system. So this helps for later on when you all want to gang up on someone and beat the shit out of them for cutting in line. My question: What are some stores that will be getting PS3's, but people will be less likely to camp out at? I'm in Canada, if that helps. I was thinking Costco, or something like that. |

Re: LINE WAITING at BEST BUY for PS3
That's a great idea with the pen and paper, thank you. Haha canada, ya i'm in new orleans so i'm not to worried about blankets. Costco seems like a good idea, i would say call them and see if they're selling any, I doubt it tho.

Re: LINE WAITING at BEST BUY for PS3
How long in advance do you think it would be necessary to go? I know that it depends on factors such as the location/popularity of the store, but I was just wondering.

I went to BB earlier this week and the guy there told me that they were opening at midnight the night of the PS3 release (the 17th i think it is) Make sure u know if ur best buy is doing this.

Re: LINE WAITING at BEST BUY for PS3
ToysRus was taking preorders this past Sunday. Preorder lines at started at 1-2pm the day before. That's 20 hours before opening. My guess is that Nov17 will be longer. |
