Generally Best Buy will have the most units at launch. Also places like Costco had 360's on launch day...they were bundles.

Default Re: LINE WAITING at BEST BUY for PS3

Can anyone write a little guide to doing this?

I intend on going to Bestbuy on Thursday and Saturday for PS3 and Wii. What time should I go on Thursday (which will give me a feel for Saturday)? I have a night class on Thurday (ends at 8), I'm guessing I will have to skip it to have any shot?

I want to succeed in this, so please help me out.

I've heard that the Best Buy right by my house will open up at 12:01a.m. on 11/17 to sell their stock (I believe 22 of them). We're gonna go from there to the Walmart up the street which opens at 7a.m. and try to get another 3.

That is a very, very good idea sir. Hopefully my Bestbuy opens that early.

Bunch of my friends waited in line for the 360's. One thing to think about is, how you gonna go the bathroom. Suggestion-eventually one of the people in the front of the line took down everybodys name. Then you were allowed a 30min break while waiting-yah kinda crazy. You don't really need a tent, just bring comfortable chairs and lots of blankets. Maybe some stuff to do,ex poker game,psp

also-don't buy any game and sell as a bundel-you will get less

Just so you guys know, I work at a best buy and we are going to start setting up a line the wednesday before release. We know for sure that 3 people will be in line by then. And they are very limited so plan ahead. I would bring two people so if you have to go to the bathroom you can get out most people won't care. And for dinner just ask people around you if they want any so you can leave to get something.
