My husband just went to Best Buy in California to pick up our Christmas present (a flat screen TV), and he said people were camped out there waiting for xboxes.

I managed to get a 360 on the initial launch, 11/22. It was a bit crazy, but I got in line at 9 pm the night before. I waited in line overnight for 13 hours, in the cold windswept rain. It was a great bunch of people. It was funny to see people pulling into the parking lot at 4 Am and 5 Am thinking they were getting there early. Lol. I have a feeling there will be news stories of violence this time around.

The only thing I ever camped out for was seasons tickets to the SU basketball games with the guys and gals in my dorm back in college. We all got sit in the student section behind the team right near the court for the whole season for $30. Plus, it was an all night party with your friends and room mates.

It may have been silly, but it was also college.

Camping out these days as an adult for video game strikes me as the same type of people who are Star Wars or Star Trek geeks. I couldn't believe that people camped out for weeks before the last Star Wars movie opened, but they did.
