PS3 experience
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
OK, so here is the story of getting one of these ridiculous new systems of all time(so they say).
It all started on Wednesday night after BW3's. Me, erik, nick, pete and ryan went to check out the Super Walmart in Men. falls where they said they would allow ppl to wait starting at 7 am thursday morning inside. We got there at like 10pm or so and noticed the whole front was lined with tents already. Man that was BS considering they told everyone 7 am inside nothing before but whatever right???
We then went over to Best Buy where they had about 20 some ppl in the lot already. SOme fools came over to us with a list that was so called approved by Best Buy. We put our names down and went along with there sceme. Best Buy management had told everyone to leave and would allow campers to start as of 7 am Thursday but nothing before. Some morons decided they were better than the managers on hand and dont them to pretty much eat themselves or bark up another tree in polite terms. Managment didn't like these "clowns" and called the cops so that everyone would leave. The 4 retards didn't leave til the cops got them to go. We remembered there ESCALADE very easily and watched them as we stake out over the coure of the night. THIS was a crazy time because we had to not go inline due to cops yet make sure we got in teh front!
We went back to my Cingular store about 5 times over the course of the night driving back and forth inbetween hand. About 3:45am we decided to go to the Odessey to eat since that was all that was open in the falls at this time. When we got done we drove by best buy again. There was a HUGE line and no cops. We being the devils we are called the cops (but they were already on the way) to get them to leave. We were screwed had the cops not show up.........
On comes the real fun......................
6:30 am ppl start parking in Neu's parking lot next door to Best Buy. THere was 3 squads in the parking lot which prevented anyone from coming on the property. At approx. 6:45 the line that formed ALL THE WAY ACROSS THE ENTRANCE starred sprinting to the store. It was a heard of elephants scampering across a parking lot for a stupid PS3!!! Man we were dorks but whatever at this point lol.
The line kinda formed half ***'d where Me, Erik and Ryan got in the top 15 spots but Nick and Pete got pushed to the rear since they totally failed on the cutting lol.
Needless to say... we froze our butt off and got some nice windburn to prove it lol. I am at work now and feel like i'm not here. I'm spacey and need sleep!!! Erik and Ryan are sound asleep while i work a full day lol. What a crock.
They had 20 60G and 6 20G systems. I can say many other things over the course of the night, but this post would be forver long...........

Congrats on the hard work. I think it's pathetic what people are willing to do/pay for a video game console.. but hey.. I'd do the same thing you did if I had the motivation
