Man, we thought we were hardcore nerds-- but we're pussies compared to the freaks who stood outside Circuit City last night in the pouring rain, waiting for the Xbox360 to get released. Check out John's photoset on Flickr for all the soaking wet details. Did anyone manage to snag an Xbox360 last night? And if you did, how do our favorite NYC games (Warriors, True Crime NYC, etc) look on the new system?
Update: check out this cool Google maps mashup showing Best Buy locations with Xbox360s in stock.

i walked by the best buy on broadway and houston last night around 10:30pm, and there was definitely a line. the good thing is that the xnerds had done their research and knew how many xboxes would be released (thirty, apparently, at this location, ranging from $300-400), so i guess you know if your wait will be worth it. my observation: they were all playing video games. but apparently they needed more.
Wait till after Christmas to buy it. The price should drop by $50 to $100 by New Years.
The brats can wait a few more days. Just wrap up an empty box with a note inside saying 'I owe you one Xbox'
Crazy. Is it that good a game??
These people were still there when I walked by at 9:30 AM this morning. The ones in the front of the line had been there since 4:00 PM yesterday. Another person who seemed to be a photoblogger was there taking pictures at the same time as me, but left without saying anything.
