For those of you lucky enough to be in the US you may or may not have bought an Xbox 360 (if you don’t know what one is then you don’t belong on the internet!) With the launch last night many shops (including Best Buy) closed early at around 6PM to get everything ready for midnight when the 360 launches. Many people arrived early to get in line and wait. Louis, a college student, had this to say:
The reason I’m here is because Gamestop didn’t have enough, and I really wanted the system the first day. Waiting 13 hours, out in the rain, 40-degree weather, but it’s all good.
To be honest I wouldn’t like to wait for that amount of time. But some people are crazy and are dying to get their ‘box’s. I really couldn’t wait on December 1st because I have school the next day! But if it December 2nd was a Saturday I would be happy to queue and wait for the launch. That is if I had the money to buy it. But since Santa is getting it for me (aren’t you Santa??) I don’t need to. I live in quite a small town so I don’t think the queue would really be that long, as in 1 and a half hours after launch and you’re still in the queue. That was what some people had experienced at their Best Buy. There are lots of postings and pictures of the queues and people buying 360′s so I’ll leave you with the links. If you have any comments, feel free to add them.
