14 fucking hours!
I am so tired. Dan called Best Buy yesterday at noon to ask how many Xbox 360s they had, they had 40 and already had a line at noon. Their store did not open at midnight, only the one in Park Meadows where there were several hundred people and reportedly several fist fights.
We went to Comp USA by our house at about 7pm. Talked to the guys working that Dan knows and they told us they had 20, 16 Platinum (which is what everyone wants) and 4 core (without the hard drive and other extra stuff.) We were the first in line. 10 minutes after we set up our chairs and blankets another guy joined us, by midnight we had about 20 people. We thought about telling them there were more than 20, or that we didn't know...which would have been a lot funnier in the morning when they found out, but apparently we're just not that evil.
We paid our friend $70 to sit outside all night with us and buy a 3rd one for us since it's only 1 per person. Right now they're going for $800-$1,500 (one went for $3,000 this morning but that seems to have been a fluke) on ebay...You can bid on mine here, c'mon only $250 people, heheh :)
The weed kept me mostly sane and halfway comatose all night, I got about 2 hours of car-sleep with the nice warm heater on 'cause Dan is sweet enough (and impervious to cold-enough) to have kept our place in line while I slept.
Hopefully we will make a crap ton of money off the 3 we got, especially since the insurance decided to pay us not nearly as much as we thought we were getting for the stolen STi. Should hopefully be on our way to Glenwood Springs to pick up the new EVO this weekend, hopefully.
Oh, and this is what we came home to this morning at 9:30am after sitting outside Comp for 14 hours. God I fucking hate our cats sometimes.
