Default Anyone Else Going To Stores Tuesday Morn. To Get a 360?

I think this may be a -EV move. AKA a waste of time. With each store getting 30 at most comibined of the crappy model and the pro, i dont see how anyone not waiting outside at 12am could get one. Anyone read anything on the odds of getting one? Maybe im overacting and most people that want one preordered at Gamestop and such. Thing is where i live only 3 stores in like a 30 mile radius will have them. so that leaves like 90 total. So that has me worried. Prolly a waste of time to go at 9am right?

Get in line 6 hours before stores open. Then ebay the one you get.

I would rather wait a few months. Basically every new console to come out has a few bugs. I would rather wait a while for a working unit than camp out all night only to take it home and find out it won't read games or something goofy like that.

With that said, I don't plan on getting a 360. I already have a PS2 and a GameCube, and I hardly play those as it is.

Edit-BradleyT's plan is much better.

This should be the plan. Ebay the first one and get a new one after demand subsides a little.

I guess it depends on how much you want one. For me, not having one on launch day is not an option. I will be there at 12:01 to pick up my pre-order.

Meh. I checked out some of the games and they look like polished turds. I'm waiting for the PS3, personally.

What about finding a 24 hr Wal-Mart? Not that I want one but that to me would seem like the way to go if you haven't pre-ordered one.

I've had mine for a week [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] though I will be geared up Tuesday to check out Xbox live and download the media center software.
