Great minds, Jeanette. Great minds.

But you’re still up Shit Creek, eh? I’ll let you know if I see anymore here. :)

I feel so vindicated after Ryan’s comment. I knew I wasn’t crazy to think I could buy a 360 an hour after they went on sale. Knowing that just 1 person out there succeeded makes me feel so much better. Lion, there’s nothing hiding in the basement. I really don’t have one, but thanks for giving me so much credit.

I had a coworker who slept outside overnight to be the first in line for the 360.

8AM comes, they hand out tickets to those in line. When all 17 of them get their 360’s, I walk in to pick up a CD (this is about 8:45-ish), see the other 13 unaccounted for 360s and pick one up, feeling completely rested after a cozy night in my own Select Comfort bed (and of course I pointed this out to my groggy, stiff coworker).

So, while the early bird gets the worm, the average bird is really much smarter (and slept in his own bed).

The key: live in a medium-sized town. Big enough to get the shipments but not so big that people swarm the opening day.

The conspiracy theorist in me sees this in a much different light. First off, Centaur, rest assured you have an Xbox 360 waiting for you come Christmas time. It has become clear to me that Jeannette is using this post, her comment, the general mayhem surrounding this product launch (hex168.com) as a smokescreen to lead you to believe she was not able to obtain the coveted prize but in reality it’s tucked away in that basement of yours. She wants to surprise you but didn’t realize that I have a sixth sense regarding secret gifts and presents. Talk to all my ex-es.

i’m surprised you didn’t make jeannette camp out the night before. i actually know of only one person who got one. and i don’t even really know him, friend of a friend. the only reason was cause he actually bought it back in april.

I thought the world was with Bailes on this one. I thought everyone was saying $400, no thanks. Trust me, this was no conspiracy. I really thought I could get one at 8:15.

Bailes you waited like four years to get the xbox. You have no credibility in this matter. I know you are loving your XBOX over that piece crap playstation you had. I agree with the Centaur only the microsoft fairy can help us now.

Well, it’s kind of funny that your wife calls you the Centaur now. I with Gabe on this one… I don’t think that the 360 is going to be as good as it is being hyped up to be. And also, for 400 bones, no thanks, I’ll wait a year and get it for 300, maybe. Good luck my friend, I hope that you get your miracle. Until then, better Griswald it up and get ready for the holidays.

Clearly, you failed to explain the importance of this issue to JNET. 8:15? I don’t think any store in AMERICA had an Xbox 1:15 after opening. I smell a conspiracy.

A real machine like the P.O.S. 3?

Such blasphemy…

Speaking of blasphemy, I’ll have you know that I spent last night crafting a manger scene, depicting the three wise men bestowing gifts of gold, myrrh, and wireless controllers to a 360 nestled in a little bundle of swaddling clothes…

Still holding out for a Christmas miracle…
