I went to my Best Buy today, and there was about 10 people already there with little tents and such. Anyone else have this around them?

I called my Best Buy again, and they said they still can't tell me the number of Wii's they are getting but he said they are getting a lot....I think I'll go 5 hours early or something like that

Call of Duty 3 ( I think the most recent numbers are 150,000 - 200,000, considering everyone was taking pre-orders when the numbers were still 400,000, I doubt a lot of those campers are getting anything.

It isn't worth it.
Come on, it's just a gaming machine and lots of people risc their jobs for it... if they have one in the first place. :x
Take me. I'm quite a fanboy (as you might know :wink: ), but I would never camp somewhere, not even for something from Nintendo, which is my religion I follow blindly. :P
I sawreports about the PS3 launch riots and thought... "how can you be so stupid"? :roll:

I sawreports about the PS3 launch riots and thought... "how can you be so stupid"? :roll: Indeed...I watched the insanity on the news last night. Fistfights, the first people into the Best Buy stores being treated like "royalty" by the press & the store, "scalpers" buying the console and then turning around and selling it on eBay...one went for over $30,000!! I mean, ugh. When I think of the use that thirty grand could have had... :x A friend of mine was wise and put a deposit on one a long time ago and calmy picked it up without any injuries :wink: , I still have to clunk him on the head for not choosing a Wii (now I have to wash my hands after typing that "W" word), I meant "Revolution." :P

He mixed it up a little in the last one, $11,999 :D Some of those people selling them are going to acutally think they're getting 10 grand.

No, the sellers started the auctions at that price (10,000 / 11,999 ) and the fake account had the only bid.
Not sure why somebody would do that though.

When I was at Walmart on Saturday they had people in line for the Sunday shipment of PS3's. They had a few dozen of those people and 10 people in line for the Wii. What's up with that???!
