for those of you who are like me and didnt pre order, where do you think ill have the best chance to get one? Best buy will have 56, but im sure there will be a line wayy before they open at 9am. how about walmart? or maybe circuit city? Anyone planning to hit any store on launch day to try to snag one up? Just curious, i may try to go to a walmart or something :ohnoes: ---

> [@sureshot!](#): > > they come out the 22nd right? > > if you wanna be a nerd and stand outside im willing to stand w/u 🙂 :lol: nerds unite! i want one now, i hear the shortages are pretty bad so if you dont get your hands on one at launch you may wait a while til the next wave comes in. and im not gonna pay 1200 like some tards on ebay are doing. id rather wait in line at some store with the rest of the nerds tossin a football around in a parking lot 😃 I need to get this thing now so i can get on xbox live and be a bum for a while before i have to get back to work and school after the new year 😛 But aynyways about walmart, arent they all open 24 hours? so how would that work, at midnight they just bring out whatever they have and you make a run for it? I still cant decide which store i should try to get to. :hmm: ---

stay away from the major retailers if you want a shot at actually getting one. go to ‘game crazy’ at hollywood video or a similar small(er) chain store. they give out 12 free movie/game rental coupons if you buy a system there btw. :tup: ---

i should go early to best buy, get one and walk around the store with it until the run out. I bet i’d get people offering me cash if they could buy it. ---

> [@Jon](#): > > how the hell do they hold the people back? its open 24hrs They are legally allowed to start selling them at 12:01Tuesday morning. I have already had customers ask what they are allowed to start forming a line which should already have started forming. As far as I know they are giving them out to the first 14 people in line. Although there has been talk about doing a drawing so everyone has a fair chance. Either way its going to be crazy at work today.
