I drove around last night and scouted out the local retailers.

Best Buy - That picture that CodeMonkey posted on the front page...that line now goes to the end of the building.
Local 24 Hour WallMart - 20+ kids already waiting inside. Expected fewer than 10 consoles now.
Target - Not allowing anyone to line up prior to their 10 P.M. closing tonight, expects less than 10 consoles.

I'm not sure what the deal is with all of the targets, but if they all are doing the 10pm rule than that would be a most-excellent stop. It's looking more and more like only scoring one PS3 is the gameplan.

I'm all geared up for the overnight though. Plenty of winter gear, although the temps are going to be relatively high. It looks like rain gear will be the more important choice for this evening as we're supposed to get some heavy rain. I don't have any water-proof pants though so I may just pick up some plastic sheeting at home depot or something.

Don't forget to check DSmooth's blog starting around lunch today. He's going to chronicle our adventures this year. Wish us luck and if you're heading out today, good luck to you!

Seacrest Out.

Same situation in Charlotte, the local news was at Best Buy last night to some kids who had their tents and tarps ready. We had a tornado watch last night as well haha. Hope no one was hurt.

Yeah, I don't get how high-school aged kids are getting away with camping out for these things.

If you have to resort to using trash bags as water proof gear, make sure you do not accidentally buy the scented kind. I have heard that kinda sucks or something like that.

Stay safe, don't be like some of those kids last year held up at gunpoint for their consoles. I want to camp for one, do the same thing, but I think that might be a little too crazy considering 1) working till 9pm tonight, 2) working at 7:30am the next morning, 3) working till 10pm tomorrow night, 4) leaving around 6am Saturday morning for Kansas (5 hour car trip). Oh well.
