Awwww, man you serious???
Well it sounds tempting. I'm taking Thursday off from work, but the thing is that I want to buy 2 60GB PS3's. Is your hookup going to get you the PS3 before Friday? Let me know bro.

I plan on camping out but I have a question for any of you with console release or Black Friday experience.

If one person waits in line for let's say 5 of his friends, how does that work out for the other people in line?
I plan on waiting with 3 other people and we need to rotate so we can go to work and such. We will have 4 chairs to mark our spots.

Will people behind us get angry or something because we are saving spots?

WTF how did they let you do that. I used to work at best buy and they didnt let anyone by a 360 first when it first came out. An employee got written up because he tried to hide one so he can buy one without waiting in line

There are a couple of stores that are selling @ 12:00am on Friday. So it's getting pretty close.

Thanks!
