    Anyone else camping out for the 360?

    I figure if there are other people in the greater Philadelphia area who are planning on waiting in line for the thing, we could potentially group up for the cause. That way we could take shifts to stay warm, keep each other company, or at the very least help each other out when the store opens and the rush starts. Assuming they don't pass them out in an orderly fashion, that is....who knows how each store will manage the process.

    I haven't pre-ordered mine, so it looks like I'll be hanging outside my local Best Buy or Circuit City or whatever. If others in the area would like to join me in this effort, let me know. I figured a thread like this might be a good way for people of the same area who are planning on waiting in line for the 360 to find each other.

    For the PS2 and Xbox my local walmart let me sit inside. It was plenty warm. So you might try there.

      Thanks for the heads up. The nearest Walmart is kind of a trek, but that would make it worthwhile.

            K Mart is a good option. When the PS2 came out, the night before launch was hysteria. Near here, there is a Toys R Us, a Target, a Gamestop and a K Mart all next to each other. Tons of people were lined up all night long at the TRU and Target, and I headed over to K Mart right across the street at like 9 pm, was first in line, and the 2nd person didn't show up until after midnight. Meanwhile, the lines at the other places far exceeded the amount of consoles they were getting, and not one of them even thought to check K Mart, which was only getting measly 3 systems in. The 3rd person in line mosied up around 6 am, just a couple hours before they opened, while a lot of people sat in the rain all night across the street and went home empty handed.

            Go where few people think would sell video game stuff, or go to a store that is off the beaten path or in a bad part of town. It works.

              Nope, I have school the following morning at 7 am. I'll get it after school and game to my heart's desire.

                I'll more than likely go to my Wal-Mart at midnight to pick mine up.

                      I wouldn't camp out for any videogame system.

                      I'm not that big of a nerd

                      If you camp out that means you're a pretty hardcore videogame fan which makes me wonder why you wouldn't just pre-order in the first place.

                        I was going to, but I'm gonna wait until College Hoops 360 is released before buying it. I'll be getting the HD version as well. Madden is the only one that excites me, but I'll have CH on the Xbox to tide me over till the 360 version comes out.

                          Ah, .....nope.
                          I might camp outside a retail store when I'm 90 for a chance to dip into the fountain of youth but that's about it. Aside from that you wouldn't catch me "camping out" for a damn thing.

                            Camping out, no.... I have no idea what EB Games policy is as far as console launches, but since I'm preordering, I figure I can go there at midnight if it's open.

                              I don't want to camp out ALL night, but I will head out to stores early to get in line. Whether that's at midnight release or the morning of the 22nd. I'm going to cruise the stores a few days before and see how they will be handling the release.
