    Why not wait until Dec 26th - they'll be much cheaper then ;)
    You don't get medals for sitting in the trenches.
  • I went to my local asda in Hamilton at 10.30pm and there was a queue of around 15 people waiting for a total of 10 consoles. Needless to say I did not join the queue !
    Titch :)

    i went the hunts cross one at 6pm and there was 2 geeky lads and a family waiting. I wasn't prepaired to wait i just wanted the desk to go at midnite but couldn't be bothered after seeing people q'in.

    good luck to anyone who tried/
  • Just got back from local asda, thought I'd sneek over there at 11.55 and get one before the rush! Oh how wrong :rotfl:

    Ended up chatting to the security guard controlling the q, the first person arrived at 0700 and the 15th person arrived at 3 this afternoon. I was about the 300th person that had arrived since!

    I even heard someone shout out an offer of £500 to any one willing to sell it on!

    Looks like I'll have to wait until after Christmas.

    Just returned from my local Tesco extra. only 6 units and people had been queing since 3pm. Stopped at PC World and staff were buying them at midnight but wouldn't sell me one :( Can't blame me for asking.
    I'm suprised PC World is selling them mind.. Start an orderly Q outside your local branch!

    i pre-ordered 2 360 prem packs way back in august, i knew there would be a demand, and shame on the people trying to go to asda at 12.

    i saw it coming, and i knew i could sell one on for a nice profit.

    Good for you cheets, but being ahead of the game doesn't mean it's ok to rub other folks noses in it. It would seem that was the only point of your post?

    well people have been ignorate towards the 360 for months, so why should they seem to think they can get one today, when its been over 3 months since pre-orders started.
