    Yeah.. So I'm camping out at Sam's Club

    In Cookeville, TN I'm 2nd in line and the store confirmed only 2 systems are being delivered. Amazingly enough I can pick up a free WIFI connection from the local Holiday in Express across the street.

    Yeah.. it's cold but I'm a lucky bastid!

        Are you going to play it or resell it? I bought an xbox360 on launch day with the intention of making a profit. Being that I have no self control I ended up opening it the next day. Played it for a few hours then let it sit in my entertainment center for the next 6 months just collecting dust. The moral of this story is don't buy expensive things on an impulse.

            LMAO. I didnt think I'd actually see a thread about "I'm camping out to buy a PS3" oh wow...
            (Well, at least here :P)

            Oh yeah, uh goodluck? Do you know if they're both going to be premium systems or what? Cause if you were trying to get one of the pricier ones and they get one of each you're going to likely be SOL.

                    $654.95 because Sam's Club only sells bundle packs. Premium system w/ and extra controller and one game.

                    Both are premium... We got the van backed up to the door after hours now to protect from rain and wind. Started watching some movies.

                    And of course.. I will selling it. Sole purpose is to make a grand to put toward my engine build. :D

                    I am also financing the one my brother grabbed a spot for at the local walmart. I'm giving him the money to buy it and I'm splitting the profit 60% him 40% me.

                    Got my sleeping bag and comfy chair. All I need now is to find some quality porn.

                        I guess it makes me smart since I'm stealing it from a Holiday Inn Express.

                            I dont care if most people are going to turn around and sell em, you're still nuts :) I'm sure best buys, targets, walmarts etc would get more, at least the typical electronics gadgetry stores. Those damn things are going to go for megabucks on ebay/craigslist. I'd almost think that they would sell for more on CL, but what would I know. I dont have enough money to buy one anyway even if I got in line to freeze my ass off :p

                              I really wanted to do this, and sell the PS3 to fund some coilovers...but I couldn't afford to miss class today, and tomorrow since I wouldn't sleep any tonight.

                              Goodluck...I can think of a few worse places then Cookeville to camp out.
