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.

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'

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.
