Tips for waiting in line
With less than 12 hours until the XBOX 360 hits the streets, I found some tips for waiting in line over at XBOX360fanboy.com (yes, there is really a site with that URL). Here they are:

"1. Consorting with store employees.
The quickest way to turn the line against you, Benedict, is to laugh it up with employees. From the line's perspective, they've already hoarded two-thirds of the available consoles and are guilting the weak minded into purchasing outrageous bundles and/or warranty plans.

2. Pulling your car up to the curb and blasting the radio.
You may think that everyone loves country music as much as you do, but they don't. Just wear headphones and keep the humming to a minimum.

3. Wearing "I Love Morgan Webb" T-shirts.
It's just obnoxious. Besides, just because we didn't think to wear ours, doesn't mean we don't feel the same way!

4. Playing football.
You're not fooling anyone. We know you've never played a sport in your life. Don't start at the launch line where one bad pass could end with several cracked PSP screens.

5. Saving spots.
Don't expect it to be all candy and roses if your pals try to sneak into line with you 5 minutes before the doors open. Countries have gone to war over less and you will not survive it."

Instead of doing the midnight thing, I am getting up at 5AM to camp out in front of my retailer of choice. They open at 7AM and are only getting 20 consoles.
