Flog one on ebay then, it'll pay for the other you'll at very least get your money back

If Im at the front of the queue I'll be buying 2 tonight

ozzy

Until they tell you it's one per customer - take a m8

davegtt

See I did think they were gonna say its 1 per customer but I never thought of taking a mate, good thinking. got a problem though, knowing my luck my mate will decide he wants to keep it...LOL

The real problem will be finding a mate whos as mad as I am who'll stand around in asda for hours pain really cause at our ASDAs entertainment desk theres no real way of queing.

ozzy

My brother tried to talk me into waiting at Asda, but I told him to **** off. I know some Xbox games releases in the past had folk waiting a couple of hours, but the lads at our local said people may turn up 5-6hrs early

I wouldn't wait 6 hours in the cold for a woman, never mind a bl00dy games console ... well if the woman was Kelly Brook and she was gagging for it I could be persuaded

davegtt

well I can queue indoors but it'll be rather boring, might take a chair and a book wonder what they'll say if Im stood at the entertainment desk for a few hours

I just called my local Tesco Extra to see if they knew how many they were getting in for midnight tonight. As of yet the delivery has not arrived so they don't know, they have had hundreds of calls over the last week, and there are already 3 people waiting in the store...!!!

And so the madness begins.......

davegtt

people waiting already??? Im not that mad, 5pm I'll go in see if anyones there, no queue I'll nip home shower and changed then go back

ozzy

Take your chair down to the front of the queue and put a "reserved" sticker on it.

ozzy

flat4

please don't rub people's faces in it EX, it's not what this thread is for

EXSCOOBY

i cannot believe people are going that mad for it
i have every xbox game and a projector so in all fairness id seldom play the 360
if i can get 4 of them before chrimbo i might keep one though
for **** and giggles

ozzy

Give one (or at least the allocation) to the local Hospital ward for sick children. Sell the rest on fleabay and enjoy your trip to Corfu knowing you made some kids happy for Xmas.

Dream Weaver

I cant say i'm too arsed whether I get one or not. May try Asda tonight at 11pm ish, but certainly not waiting more than 1 hour, especially now they've moved the magazine section away from the ents area

For the Ebay massive - Oh how I will laugh if all this hype isnt lived out and there are thousands of 360's unsold on Ebay

flat4

you also need to watch out for the ebay vigilantes seems alot of the rip off priced ones have 0 feedback bidders (soon becoming -1 )

I have to admit that if people sticking them on ebay didn't make a killing it would bring a small smile to my face

EXSCOOBY

all of the genuine xbox360 auctions will go for good money
bank on it

STi wanna Subaru

I know they will.

KiwiGTI

That's not what I was told. They said they had received there shipment and would be fulfilling orders today and tomorrow, your account will be updated as it's processed.

If it's not updated by tomorrow then you won't be getting one. Which would be annoying as they shipped the games yesterday.

flat4

s'funny, just had a look through all the completed items on ebay, every single one has been bought buy users no longer registered with ebay

davegtt

I know but I bet an ad in the local sales and wants I bet you'd still make a tidy profit from it

flat4

or mugged when you answer the door, not that i trust the society we live in or anything like that

ex-webby

I tell you what..... in all my years of interest in the gaming scene, I HAVE NEVER known of such eagerness for people to buy a games console in this country. What ever people think of MS or the XBOX360, this type of hype is unreal.

I suspect Sony are spitting feathers at the moment!

Regards,
Shaun.

P.S. I have just booked the day off work tomorrow and i'm even thinking of turning SN off for the day in celebration!

flat4

i shall be sat here RTMing threads every minute tomorrow until i can go home, just to keep Sammy on his toes

davegtt

lol... I got such a busy weekend, IF I manage to get my grubby mitts on one I doubt Im gonna be able to play it Which game to play will be the hardest choice if I do get time, buying 1 game and 1 game only, which you reckon is best?
