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.

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

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.......

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

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.

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

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

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.

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!
