Re: Xbox 360 EVERYTHING Pre-Release, Pre-Order Discussion...

Yeah, I guess I had kind of expected this. I had never even heard of Ritz camera before FootballForever sent me the link. It's all his fault now :y4:

Re: Xbox 360 EVERYTHING Pre-Release, Pre-Order Discussion...

Just called Ritz. The guy was as smart as a shoe and had no answers to my questions. He said they wont know who gets the 360 until they themselves get the shipment. But he also told me they were getting the shipment on the 22nd which means whoever will get them first wont get them on launch, but I doubt he know what he was talking about anyway.

Guess I better get my friggin sleeping bag ready.

I haven't called yet, but I will tomorrow. The real thing that stinks is that I will be out there by myself. I don't have anyone else to stand in line for me if I have to go to the restroom, or anything. I'm really hoping that everyone else doesn't have the Sam's Club idea too. I'm hitting up Wal-Mart on the night before, hopefully I get one there, if not, I'll be on towards Sam's Club. I think I can probably sleep until 4-5 oclock in teh parking lot, wouldn't you all say? Or should I get up earlier?

I'm new at this whole camping for videogame systems thing :y4:

I have the same questions as wtferrel. The Shopko near here is opening at 8 am. What time should me and my buddy be there by?

For the PS2, I did not get one at midnight so I decided to head up to K-Mart since they opened at 9AM. We got there at 5 and were first in line but only by about 15 minutes. I would take off work on the 22nd and just pull an all-nighter if you are really wanting to get it on launch day and are unsuccesful at the Wal-Mart.

That's probably what those that plan to camp will have to do. I hope yall are off that day.

If I decide to go the Sam's Club route, I'm going to skip class on Tuesday and head home early for Thanksgiving. I'll get up early on Tuesday and use my Mom's Sam's card to get in at 7 and HOPEFULLY get a deluxe package.

[WTF]

Re: Xbox 360 EVERYTHING Pre-Release, Pre-Order Discussion...

Well, I'm off for the whole week, so sleep is not an issue right now. I'm just concerned about getting one. That's my only thing right now. That's about all I can think about right now.

So you all think that if I can be there around 5 oclock, that I'll be alright and get one?

you have the time so you should be able to find one somewhere. what about kb toys, are they still around?

[WTF]

Re: Xbox 360 EVERYTHING Pre-Release, Pre-Order Discussion...

There aren't any KB's anywhere around here that I'm aware of. But surely to goodness I'll be able to land one if I go to WalMart at 9 o'clock, and Sam's Club (sleeping in the parking lot in the RV, probably waking up at 4 oclock). That's about what I'm anticipating anyway. Surely I can get one, right?

Thanks somiss...

I made out well selling everything separate. sold NCAA 2006 for 31.00 , madden for 26.00, nba 2k6 for 26.00, and my action replay for 15.50.
Add in the shipping, ended up with 128.50 for those 4 items. That's 2 360 games that I don't have to come out of pocket.

Re: Xbox 360 EVERYTHING Pre-Release, Pre-Order Discussion...

Yeah, thanks alot FF. You just ruined my Thanksgiving.

Damn Sorry Will and Duece, I didn't know much about Ritz either, When people were still going crazy to pre-order, I saw that Ritz was still taking pre-orders, so I said what the heck, I ordered one and then cancelld a week later, cause I decided to order from Gamestop.com instead, then I cancelled my order from gamestop, it was too much money for me. Then I got Lucky and got my TRU bundle pre-order....

Sorry for ruining your Thanksgiving, I got an Idea, Duece I know I will be getting mine on launch so why don't you meet up with Will in his RV, and come to NY and Have turkey day with me and my famliy and we could play the 360 all day and drink beers and eat turkey until we drop......LOL.....

Sounds like a heck of a deal to me :y4: The RV is a babe magnet though, so I'd have that thing full of honeys by the time I got up there, lol.

I'm pretty sure that I can find one either on the 22nd at midnight, or the morning of. I'm about positive. If the shortage is legit though, that could make me worry. Surely no one would be dumb enough to camp out earlier than 4 oclock though, right? Or would I need to stay up all night long?
