At 7:30 P.M. tonight...

[GameMaster]

... I saw the first two of what would later become a long line of gamers pitched outside my local Target eagerly awaiting Xbox 360. They both had their lawn chairs and one guy had his laptop. I was walking around town and it was pretty cold. 7:30 seems a bit early though. I mean, I didn't get to Target until 3 A.M. for the Gamecube and I had no trouble getting one. When I walked out of the store later, there were about 5-10 more people assuming their spot in the developing line of fans. Even though I'm not taking part, it left me with a good feeling. A feeling of reminiscence as I reflect on my Gamecube sit-out in that very same store. Regardless of what system(s) you're partial to, waiting the night/early morning before outside a store for the release of your next generation system is a special event we all have in common. Whether you camp it out with a friend or two or endure the cold night alone, eventually making friends with the person before and ahead of you. If any of you folks here are camping out for an Xbox 360, good luck and have fun. Try to savor the experience too, as you won't have another one for about 4-5 years.
