Skyone: How obscure was that BestBuy?
Without games my life would have no meaning.
Well, I guess it would, but it would be a lot less fun!!!!!!!

For the PS3 I'll be showing up ~ 12 - 19 hours before release, for the wii I plan on going for less at 6 - 12 hours. Mainly becase I have 3 stores in my area that are all releasing at different times.

24 hours in advance for a PS3, probably 15 minutes for the wii at wal mart (midnight). If they sell out there, I'll just go to Best Buy and wait for them to open at 8:00 or whenever it is

In any case, I'm going to be a hard-core at Target, I'm just gonna get there at around 2PM-3PM, our Target has 69 Wiis, and there aren't going to be much people considering the Toys 'r Us night.

I'm going 16 hours in advance to a wal-mart to get my PS3, in a small town outside of Chicago because they are getting 10 or something and there are only old people there so I think I have a good chance at getting one. I'm going to sell it on ebay for some serious cash.

I just called a bunch of stores in my area. I'm camping at target, because they are 1. Opening the earliest (7am) 2. Have the most wii's (81 on the locator website, the store person said it could be around 100!) and 3. I like target, and they have a nice big ass garage we're camping in.

Sams Club will probably have console/game/controller bundles, no individual system, no choice in game
